The Biggest Week in Action Sports: FMX Triple Backflip & BMX Quad Backflip
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2020
- In 2015, two of the biggest moments in action sports happened a week apart: the first-ever triple backflip on a motorcycle and the first-ever quadruple backflip on BMX. Josh Sheehan landed the FMX triple backflip, while Jed Mildon and James Foster competed to be the first to land the first-ever BMX quad backflip. This is the wild story of how both of those historic action sports moments happened in the same week at Travis Pastrana's house, known as Pastranaland.

About us:
Nitro Circus is what happens when a group of extremely talented and fearless friends decides to make their hobby into their profession. This crew represents a cross section of everything awesome in action sports: freestyle motocross, BMX, skateboarding, scooter, snowboarding, skiing, BASE jumping, sky diving, and a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be taken down a ramp. Nitro Circus tours the world putting on shows featuring all of the above and more. In our constant quest to always do what we love and push the boundaries of what's possible in action sports, we have some epic crashes and legendary fails, but stick or stack, our only goal is to have fun and entertain the world in the process. - กีฬา
But what most people don't realize is that this is what makes Travis Pastrana such an icon...he doesn't focus on his own accomplishments, he showcases everyone in the game. He invites people to come to his compound to get their name out there, to show him that they have what it takes to compete. Travis is an all-time legend.
Nah I’m gonna say your wrong. I’m pretty sure 90% realize what Travis is and what he does for his people. The dudes not only the gnarliest dude alive but he’s the most humble and wants his people to get a piece of that pie. The people who don’t realize that are simply brain dead or delusional 🤷🏼♂️
i think it was quite risky for travis. i didnt really think he would land the tripple and was sooo happy he didnt die. if he would be dead travis would be in charge of it (my opinion)
@@dynamo4436 I don't think you understand the community behind action sports. Literally no one would blame Travis except Travis.
Very proud to say I’ve been on the same track(Budds) with Travis. I was no competition for the kid, we are ten years apart, and he kicked my ass.
Reccallo TimTom beyond legend. Crazy though!
when jed called his mom i lost it dude, literally brought me to tears. so amazing
"There is a million ways it could go wrong and one way it can go right" but they did it the right way. Awesome just awsome
Wiji RS unless ur talking about metzgrr you’re wrong
Cute
@John Stamper I didn’t google it but I’m pretty sure you and I are both correct: I believe hart did it first at his practice compound but Metzger was definitely the first one to do it in a professional comp.

I was brought to tears when Jed landed that quad flip, so intense. You guys are absolute machines!
same but with the triple it was just so dang bootifull
When he called his mom right after
I was tearing when he called his mom.
23:35 made me wanna cry. RIP Roner
I was hoping i wasn't the only one!!
I had no idea that dude died..So this quad & triple flips all happened like 5 years ago..Wonder why it was delayed so much to show us...
@@ddssrr1614 injures and they jave shown Foster's attempts before just never went into detail with it
I didn't know he died either that fuckin suuuuucks
Yep
The height of that triple back flip ... the sound of the engine as it's rotating through the air. What an incredible moment, perfect filming and everything about it!
Holy shit, this video gave me goosebumps like 10 times!! No one understands the fear and balls it takes to go for crazy stuff like this. Not even stuff this gnarly. So much respect for these guys and overcoming their fears. Takes a crazy person to push yourself THAT far!
The reason I always loved watching Nitro circus and Travis perform or even just mess around and do dumb shit, is Travis's attitude. Always positive and helpful, seems like the nicest guy ever.
This documentary should have at least 10 million views !!!!! Such a beast Team Nitro Circus is !!!! Much love and Respect my Extreme brothers
i agree 100%
it will get there, hopefully, and yes, 100
Barnum&Bailey never made a dime on the iternet or mainstream tv maybe cirque de solei made mills.... b&a travel on horse carriage or trains later marketed by postin flyers etc... they abused animals i guess and animals rights have a watch on sea world etc, etc.. now we abuse orselves we are the circus animal hahaha lol rip all the great riders inovators pushers gone of EXSPs, etc... this story continues
Are they really a Beast master Team! I love nitro Circuit plus im glad to know i invented the kiss off death the one handed kiss of death scorpion and was the first to ride front wheel wheelies! Plus no one can whip a bike upside down like me! I know that i can do a barrel roll and another 5/10 new tricks that have to do with the frame and majorly the twin spars! Im coming back in these next 3 months. I can't hardly wait. Exstream Freestyle Motocross. Like Falcon Extreme riding/Racing.
Travis when i get my either KTM 125 or a RM 125 can i come to your compound to prove that i can bring at least 10 new hardcore Freestyle motocross tricks!? Jason Falcon. 😎🇺🇸🏁🎥💽⚙🔧🏆🎖🧨💣💥💫💯🤛🚵♀️👩🦽🤩😎
The moment Sheehan landed the triple I teared up, then seeing Jed push through the pain and into clarity made me so inspired, to see him land it I clapped so loud (alone in apt). Then when Jed called his mom I lost it. Wow what an amazing rollercoaster of emotions!! The biggest most inspiring thing isnt the trick but the teamwork and unconditional love. You push each other to defy what people thought was even possible. Just wow!! Props to every single one one of you. I will never forget this documentary. Words cant describe 😢. Probably wasnt the best written comment but I just wanted you to know. Wow!! Inspirational is an understatement ❤ HalleluYah 🙏 Thank you Father for these wonderful spirits!!
Jed stuck that landing like it was nothing. Unfrigginbelievable 👊🏻🙏🏻
That first double backflip by Travis is so burned into my brain as one of the greatest moments EVER in action sports. His jump into San Fran Cisco bay, Deegans ghost ride win in sx, the triple backflip is another... I don't see anyone making the triple common nor anyone else doing it. Sooo crazy and sick. Literally playing with death.
For me the biggest moment was Tony's 900. That changed EV ERYTHING.
Just like every other athlete chasing that elusive title, these extremely brave guys put their bodies and their lives on the line to make history. I can't say enough about their skills and sheer bravery. My hat's off to you gentlemen. Thank you for your bravery and dedication. To fall off the horse, brush yourself off, and getting right back up, is a testament to your heart. That's what puts you up there with the greats like Tony Hawk, Travis Pastrana, Bucky Lasek, Matt Hoffman, and the great Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham. Wheelz is a great inspiration to so many people who are handicapped and is a great example of the heart that I speak of.
Got dam right .. what he said ^^^
I’ve watched this 6 times and I’m still on the edge of my seat watching this
Another inspirational rider is Bruce Cook.
This has to be the best Nitro video I've ever watched, I'd love to see this kind of docco for R-Willy's triple fronty.
fronty docco fronty docco fronty docco fronty docco fronty docco fronty docco
I read this in an Australian accent.
Hmmm
Jed crying and even more when he called his mom. I felt that big time.
as a New Zealander myself you threw down a massive achievement not only for yourself but for our little country Jed. you are such a savage bro, to not only get up after all those hits and knockdowns you then smashed the quad bro. mad respect brother would love to meet you one day! keep smashing it bro you are a legend!
Even as an Aussie I'm so proud of him. That phone call to his mum was beautiful.
These guys have just set the bar for the next 10 years +. Well done boys, very well done.
“Anything’s possible”... cliche words from anyone else... but from Jed’s mouth after doing a quad flip I believe every word.
I've been a bike rider all my life and never have I came close to what you guys do. All I can say as a fan of all of you guys, I am damn happy and proud of you guys. You are the best in the world. God bless you guys!!! Peace, love, and respect to every one of you guys at Nitro Circus.
I’ve watched this 6 times and I’m still on the edge of my seat watching this
Damn James is such a great dude, first being alright with his triple record being taken from him. And then instead of taking the quad record from the other guy, they battle for it. Respect ✊
he seemed salty to me tbh, through out the whole thing.
@@WhatisAPaladin He should be. He was gonna do it and Travis told him not to so they could do it at Nitro. They all knew he was going to do it, and then Jed snuck in and did it four days prior. Dick move.
Honored to have lived in the era of these action sports legends.
The 23 people that gave this video a thumbs down have never put in the time commitment and dedication to achieve something great. Hats off the the athletes and the crews. This made me teary eyed.
There really is no question who is the king of action sports is... not only for his own achievements but also for lifetime of dedication put into showcasing other talents. So much trick progression, ramp and landing progression everything comes back to Travis. it really is an honour to be able to grow up watching and being inspired by him, a true living legend the world has been blessed to have. This was an amazing video put together by the nitro circus crew. R.I.P Roner
One of the best nitro circus films I've ever watched
This video is one of the biggest inspirations for me and for any BMX / FMX rider in the world.
I have no idea why this doesn't have 10 million views i can barely ride a bike and was highly entertained this was so awesome. I'm now a huge Action sports fan
That was one of the most amazing things I have ever watched I highly recommend it
Been following Nitro since the beginning, love everything they've put up, but right now they're reaching heights that are humanly impossible to everyone else!!!! AMAZING!!! True HEROES!
dude that quad flip on the bmx is just inconceivable. Spinning so fast, i dont know how Jed is supposed to “see it, and lock it in” My GOD
i mean, sheehan has the amazing triple backflip but i think the entire video talks about Jed, after those failed attempts between life and death and finally he got the quad backflip, just inspiring to watch.. brought to tears for Jed, superhuman!
Narrator: After 2 excruciating crashes.... Jed: This is awesome. Top bloke
Australia and New Zealand
I love that
HELL of a documentary!! I'll never forget when these stunts went down :) 🤘🤘
47:20 & 57:35
Scrolled down a bit to find this. You rock!
A god amongst men
thanks
You're a legend
Thanks
27:56 A very young RWilly 👊🏻
It doesn't get any better than this..Josh, Thankyou for your dedication and commitment.perth loves you brother.🇦🇺
What I learned over the last hour : Travis Pastrana is basically a mad scientist and guys from Australia and New Zealand are insane.
never knew they did this, THIS is insane, im happy for them!!! this deserved more attention
Absolute bloody legends every one of em. To put everything on the line for one moment takes every bit of courage and determination with a dash of madness thrown in as well 😀
I can't even imagine how good it would feel to have Travis say that you are an inspiration to him... That is the ultimate respect if he respects you like that!
It's such a great feeling when you land something that you've been trying to do over and over and over again for so long. I think when you see your friend do the same it's equally as fulfilling. I love all this stuff. I grew up skateboarding it just stuck with me. Respect to everyone out there trying to push their skills
46:20
For all you youngsters out here, when we all though backflips were impossible on a motorcycle, in 2000, our boy Cary Hart, attempted the very first ever backflip in competition. He over-rotated and wouldn’t successfully land the flip in competition until two years later in the ‘02 X-Games in Philadelphia. The backflip earned him a silver medal in Best Trick, right behind Metzger who managed to pull it off no-footed.
And that’s your Dirt-bike Download boys and girls! Catch you next week when we discuss why two strokes, will always be more manly and beautiful than four strokes!
lol...
ANZAC PRIDE !!! Australian and New Zealand Action Core hahaha
Lol Jed's expression the whole time was kinda like " mate I dont know I geuss Imma do it" hes jus a different breed bruh
The narrator compliments this video so well. Well done all around. Much respect to the athletes who can do these stunts!
they need to make a movie and put it on Netflix!
It was a sports doc on TV
That is crazy that both of these stories happened just a few feet away from each other
if you build it, they will come. lol
A perfect demonstration of the skill, courage and full send attitude of extreme sport athletes, how humble they are and how hard everyone around them works to help them achieve the unimaginable. Chapeau to them All. Rip Roner; smiling and omnipresent.
Wow that dude own the bike is so damn tuff .Unbelievable...These guys are true super heros .THANKS GUYS we loved it...
Aussies and Kiwis owning. Great work Fellas!!
As crazy and death defying as this is to everyone watching it. Those of us that grew up riding and racing BMX and dirt bikes, and that still ride, have a lot better idea of how scary, difficult and insane this actually and truly is. Physically, mentally, technically and mechanically. There are soooo many things that can happen or go wrong. A million and one things. And ANY of them could cause a catastrophic failure resulting in death. Props to you all at Nitro Circus.
100% even the people who are into the sports but never had the skill to actually ride won’t ever truly understand what the insanity level ‘ skill level and every other level this takes to accomplish!
I know from experience that that level of commitment is unbelievable. When you commit to something like that you have to know that you are going to do it. You can't have any doubt about the landing or you are screwed. These guys are amazing.
That was incredible! I became so emotionally invested in these guys & when he landed that quad I just started leaking from the eyeballs. Much respect to Travis as well, he is such a humble dude.
I can’t even. The pride, courage, honour and strength of these guys is outrageous.
Why did they send the whole team to New Zealand instead of just bringing him to America 😂
Aside from no lockdown from covid its great exposure for the sport to a new audience. Plus NZ is just the best country in the world yeah im a kiwi
@@glennlurman3514 it's 2015
Hmmm
These videos really inspire me.
Insane, both tricks are insane when you think about it, especially if you have some experience with both sports and know how hard it is to push yourself to do crazy tricks thats no where near this type of level
What an amazingly influential person Pastrana is to draw this collection of amazing people on to his property to make history
Absolutely amazing!!! I love the spirit in “action sports” it’s truly inspiring!! Much love!!
I miss when the show was on tv they are nuts and lucky they can do whatever they want if u can dream it it can be done with them wish was able to go and hang put with them they are awesome people and rip eric roner
This is epic. It’s crazy to even see. I remember being a kid and seeing all the legends pull off the legendary stunts
Dream Team '92+ 95/96 Chicago Bulls team+ OG Bones Brigade+ Nitro Circus team= Greatest Sports Teams in Sports-history. Makes so much fun to watch them back in the days. And to watch them nowadays. Greetings from Germany, mate.
I'm so glad that you guys re-uploaded this. I couldn't find it for the longest time
Nitro is amazing
made me cry .. attitude and discipline .. this is epic !!
This video almost choked me up and gave me chills so many times. The determination is one thing but none of this would have happened without the support that all of these athletes gave eachother. Its a beautiful thing
Ok I did have some tears for that quad. When you see them decide to head toward that ramp to do something thats never been done, and could possibly kill them, thats something special. Its so inspiring because it translates to everything in life.
You guys are so inspiring. Flipping amazing.love the team work an support much love peace out from NZ yeah boy wooohooo
These aren’t tears, I have allergies.
You guys kick ass!!
I bow down to all of your awesomeness!! Not only do you guys push the sport more and more, you also encourage and help out others to achieve that same greatness.
This is by far one of the most unbelievable things I've witnessed in this world. Just so unreal. Shout out to everyone involved, it really does make you wonder what's possible!
i had so many emotions during this video. i have watched you Travis and the nitro circus ever since i was 6. i am 16 now. you guys have made me feel like anything is possible on a bike and i have no fear of hitting any jump because of the motivation that i get out of your videos and your team is amazing. i wish i could be there with you guys and pulling off stunts to, even just to be there in the environment you guys live in everyday life. would love to have such caring mates like you and the crew.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 born after 2000… your a snowflake.
Just gotta say, Thank you !
The years, and years of content you have given us. The literal blood sweat and tears you all have put in to expanding the sport. The Family First vibe that you have always put out. I just can't Thank You Enough !
Much Love and can't wait to see what's still to come. After seeing this video anything is truly possible. Never forget that !
Full body chills in 2022 watching the double backflip again that was the most epic thing I have ever watched
Travis's statement about Josh ..I'm from Perth 🇦🇺 and it touched my heart.
That was so cool that Jed's first thing was to call his mom. Good on him.
Just amazing..Watching this sport for many years saying to myself they have reached the limit of possibilities..Now I am saying that to myself once again..
Beyond Bravery and Skill for Humankind. Two artists managed to overcome fear, mind and body limits. Even though I don't know these people personally, I am proud of them and their accomplishments. Shoutout to all the crew members that made this possible.Congratulations to these men.
I look at the dislikes thinking, who would dislike such huge accomplishments!
There needs to be a series like this about travis’ double flip 360 🙌🏻
And Smchidty just stomped the quad at Rwillys as the second person and on more or less smaller size jump.
That blew my mind too. The fact these ramps were built for a quad and he nailed it off RWilly's setup.
Keaven not only that he almost over rotated. Wouldn’t be surprised if he figures out the quint flip next. Heck he already has triple flips varials dialed.
I'm sure this jump done 5 years ago helped his progression, now imagine 5 years in the future!
For sure. I've not seen anyone tuck as tight and rotate as fast.
Keaven takes a snowboarder on a skooter kids ramp to pull a big bmx jump
Travis passing the torch is one of the most badass moves ever
Absolutely phenomenal its crazy how far extreme action sports has come i love it nitro circus is amazing i can't wait to be able to go watch extreme action sports NITRO CIRCUS live...
Now it's time for a quadruple flip on a motorcycle and a quintuple back flip on a BMX.
I don’t ever see that happening. There will be other do a triple and quad flip but to raise it to a whole mother flip I don’t ever see that happening!
I don't ever want to see that lol... I don't want my heroes dead for such an amazing trick just to be done by their predecessor
Maybe on the moon
Itll happen. I never thought a 360 or frontflip would be possible but here we are.
@@robertbuckly76 Or mars, as soon as we get cold gas thrusters on bikes much more crazy stuff will happen
Can somebody please carry Jeds bike up the hill each time for him, wtf
i think there is some pyschology to that, being one thng wth ur bike and bond
@@tronixtheeventsdirector6913 yea maybe your right.
@@kevinm9 Still seems like there should be a bike bitch..
@@johnlittle7181 It would be an honor to be that "bike bitch"
These blokes pushed it all to a new level in bike tricks going back to when I used to ride. I remember in 84 a rider on a YZ 250 tried doing a backflip. The ramp went straight up with about a 75 metre run up and then the curve straight up about 15 metres. On the landing was a pool full of water. He left the ramp, tried to swing in the air but only could get it a 180° then straight down into the pool. It was the best attempt back in those days. I was 14 at the time and thought that was crazy attempt but watching these athletes is a rush. Fkn unreal.
I really hope that 50-100 years from now this is remembered. I grew up on TP landing the double. Went out the next day and traded in my CRF250 for a YZ125 because of it. I just hope that action sports are continued in the future
I’m going to hit the quadruple backflip one day
I'm disappointed they didn't represent Dave Mirra.
Dude they give fighters months of rest after 1 concussion, this guys are getting one after the other. Mad Respect
Who thumbs down such an inspirational video of the human spirit and triumph?
I AM WATCHING THIS HOLE THING RIGHT NOW
@Beastcraft out your hole?
Whos hole ?
I remember the 90's when whips and supermans were the shit lol
I mean... There can't be anyone that doesn't think whips are the shit still though right??? Love a good whip.
The commercial aspect and the time factor to meet deadlines plus all the stress of disappointment, both to yourself and the backers, especially when it's basically choreographed, must make the pressure to succeed mentally and physically exhausting. Respect to both athletes.
I will forever respect Travis Pastrana and what he's done for action sports he's an idol of mine who i grew up watching all the way from Australia and to see him pass the torch to someone from my country makes me feel so blessed to watch this journey! Josh is a true legend with Travis right next to him and to see Australia and New Zealand hold the two biggest records in action sports will forever be the best thing I'm proud of when it comes to our South Eastern corner of the world THANKYOU for the years of crazy action sports Nitro Circus we really do appreciate everything you guys do for us to enjoy and support 💯
Can I just say thoes tyres are mad you know what I’m talking about
When’s the Mx 4 flip happening
Nathan Robinson very soon
Wow .as a bmxer myself hairs on my neck when both legends land flips that make history made me smile . All 5 ride deserve medals for even attempting history
Just imagine how stoked you must be all day after landing that triple flip on fmx! All your friends there hanging out at Travis house chilling waiting for you to land this and be the only person in the world to do it! So amazing!
Boy, that sure is a lot of ads!
It's over an hour long.
@Matt G on my phone?
