I haven't watched Moto X Free in a few years... this is just ridiculous. I was expecting the commentators to go crazy after every single trick but it seems somewhat normal to them... I was blown away by how casual this run seemed when not that long ago, a single backflip no-hander was impressive. Now they're throwing a double with it for the very first maneuver... congrats Tom
What an amazing run. But, there is something that deeply concerns me, the stadium is almost empty. I remember watching X games back in the day and the stadiums were so crowded during FMX competitions, nowadays it looks like everyone doesn't give a damn about it, I think it would be better if FMX competition was made in Spain or Mexico, they always fill the stadiums to the last seat and are very passionate about the sport, you can feel the excitement, and the riders feel it too. USA has crappy crowds.
This has been a problem for years now. SLS skateboard events and Nitro Circus and so on are PACKED often. But X-Games is usually deader than dead for the majority of events. No idea why ESPN cannot get it together and attract crowds.
Howard Stern I believe the global expansion is what started the trend for X-Games' decline in quality. 5 events that year was way too many and the move to Texas added to it. California was home (yes I know it started in the northeast) but I guess ESPN couldn't keep up the cost of renting all of the venues. Look how small this freestyle course is. I know you don't need much room but this is way to cramped. Not to mention all of my favorite events were racing events and they got removed after Texas.
Slorm Raptor Yep definitely has gone down for sure but also you see some supercross races and lots of empty seats and I'm one of them that stopped going due to prices are crazy and alot of the riders act like they are too good to even talk to you so I just watch it for free on tv now.
Même après un moment d'arrêt il revient plus dur que jamais il reflète le sportmecanic et la motocross francaise en générale Toujours viser plus haut bravo tom
The king has returned! I would pay a lot of money to see Travis Pastrana come out of retirement to try to take Pages down in Freestyle. Pages is juggernaut..when he rides at 100%, no one can stop him.
The energy isn’t the same of the commentating, the presentation of the sport, this man is doing arguably one of the greatest fmx runs in the history of the sport and the energy is not being matched. No epic replay music, they are talking about his tricks like he’s playing golf. This is supposed to be extreme. We used to have extreme reactions. Extreme energy. Extreme everything. What is going on… I feel like Thomas Pages was robbed of proper television coverage energy. Idk what’s happened to X Games but it looks like the effort of production is slowly dwindling year by year.
I just don't understand. I watched Carey Hart land the first flip, and people couldn't believe their eyes. I watched the battle for the 360. The body varial...so many tricks that were thought impossible. They brought a special ramp in for Travis to do the double and it was the most dangerous thing ever attempted. Fast forward to now and all of these things are done casually in a run?? Plus a flair??? Human progression is getting insane.
na people just sleeping on it, but the fans know what's up it's not dead it's bigger than ever now. I think thanks to x games, x fighters & moto vlogging on youtubes it's getting popular again. Also metal mullisha & nitro circus keeping that fmx alive
Actually Travis got a 98.60, and that was the first ever double backflip, 12 years ago, with that kind of bike, ramp, and the fact that it was the first time ever, he got a high score.
Don't get me wrong coz all his tricks were dope af but fmx has lost the flow it used to have. The days of metzger, adams and travis are long gone. The backflip was in its infancy and the runs relied more on style than enders. Great by all means but watching the OGs of modern fmx back in the day was just summit else...

Dan Khan he has been doing the same run a red bull fighters for at least 4 years
@J.P. Sayer
Great analogy!
An incredible run. When Tom's on fire, he never disappoints.
im just catching up and losing my mind

I would also add the pack of advertisement. I live in Minneapolis and didn't even know it was going on.
Slorm Raptor yes the MM ogs are gone. Kinda...

Tom Pages is not afraid of Death. He slaps Death in the face and insults Death's mother.
And then politely sips a Red Bull in front of some Monster girls, just to rub it in. He fears neither death nor monsters.
Même après un moment d'arrêt il revient plus dur que jamais il reflète le sportmecanic et la motocross francaise en générale
Toujours viser plus haut bravo tom
Tom pages 👏👏
Wow nobody can stop this guy, legend right here currently the best fmx rider!
The king has returned! I would pay a lot of money to see Travis Pastrana come out of retirement to try to take Pages down in Freestyle. Pages is juggernaut..when he rides at 100%, no one can stop him.
Hes the best!
Best guy in freestyle Motocross!!!, doing always something unique and crazy, wonderful
I had the mute the announcers... Dude is out there litterally doing magic and they can't even pretend to try and match the energy
Tom Pages is on a Level all his own here. Always has been. Half the stuff you see him do could end so badly and he just pulls it off like nothing!
Eric Hodgson aa
didnt expect that double flip no hander
Legend!
Other than the whip every single one of those tricks would have won big air 5 years ago.
When tom pages lands his flares you know he going to win!
BRAVO TOM tu t'es encore surpassé gg Man tu déchire cocorico 🐓 👏
💕 I really love the sport of freestyle motocross FMX is the number one best sport on gods Planet earth
Tom is the best.
When is the full video coming up 👊🇦🇺🤘

awesome! perfect session!
cool,but is very sad look a little crowd on this event...
It's Minneapolis, what do you expect? I bet if they would do these in much smaller cities in so-called "red" states, you'd see much bigger crowds.
Love and respect all the way from Pakistan
Freestyle has come so far I don't know how much more progress in tricks can be made.. I mean throwing double backflip no handers like it's nothing..
wow esay double backlift,,and clean landing
Straight bangers
Talent.
I love the rims on the bike.
Best off tom
That bike flip though. ... wtf. Super sick
Thomas Pages es el mejor en lo que hace
I like the way you say Thomas Pages in French . Sounds much better!!
nitro circus swooped up all of xgames crowd
This guy is defying the law of gravity lol awesome
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🍻😲
Le meilleur rider de fmx est tom pages inventeurs de nouvelles figures
I highly recommend SSS suspension .
BOSS!

What's the brand of that motorcycle 🏍 guys??
Looks like a yamaha
@@zoomert1204 which model exactly?
Looks like the new 2018 yz250. With a lot of work done to it.
@@zoomert1204 thank you, I'd like to beginning at motocross
If your not experienced in riding dirtbikes I would suggest starting with a 125 and learning on that first. 250cc 2 strokes have a wicked powerband.
Wow, i remember when they haven't even done 1 backflip and now. Holyshit
Boa tarde meu nome é Bruno sou fã moto
Merci vodk mdr
Additional_ _SHOOT pareil mdrr
Jean Michel Bale, Christophe Pourcel, Michael Pischon, David Villamin, Dylan Ferrandis , Marvin Musquin . All sound better in French
Niceeee
02:11 What the hell ? O_O
Nice yz
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
Big crahes
👏👏👏
Wow
but can he do a backfilp?
Oh well
Jeremy twicht es el hombre
Huh. Seems like FMX is suffering the slow long death snowboarding is right now.
Freestyle has been dead for years, but I still love watching it at XGames
na people just sleeping on it, but the fans know what's up it's not dead it's bigger than ever now. I think thanks to x games, x fighters & moto vlogging on youtubes it's getting popular again. Also metal mullisha & nitro circus keeping that fmx alive
I remember when having just a single backflip was enough for gold this is just insane
try a triple backflip or a double bikeflip!!!
Wtf is worth 100. This is a 92?
Gromzen well, Travis got a 99.9 for the first double so apparently the bar has been raised lol
Actually Travis got a 98.60, and that was the first ever double backflip, 12 years ago, with that kind of bike, ramp, and the fact that it was the first time ever, he got a high score.

Пажеса можно победить морально , но не на практике !!! детишки )
These are video game tricks lol
Horrible crowd
Why is taka much better to watch than this guy
