This was also back when freestyle riders actually knew how to ride a bike. The reason the era of Travis, Nate, Kenny, Brian, Mike Metzger, and most every other freestyler from the late 90s and early 2000s was so fun to watch is because they knew how to ride a bike. They raced for years before they did freestyle, because up to that point FMX wasn’t really a thing, so they knew all the fundamentals of riding. Now guys in the X Fighters or whatever know cool tricks and stuff, but you aren’t going to see them racing the course like this, because they don’t really know how.

@@racingfuel28 this is not true at all😭 no one puts their kid on a dirtbike and says go do tricks before you know how to ride. everyone learns fundamentals while riding and still to this day people don’t immediately set their sights on freestyle, not to mention the fact that the trucks being thrown now require focus and perfection on every takeoff so it’s not really reasonable to be railing around the whole area

What I always loved was his pure mx approach and powering through every corner. So rad. No one rode like him.

It was to his benefit, the faster you get through those turns, the more tricks you can do, which improves your score. Genius to do it that way. Nyjah Huston does this in his competitions, get in as many tricks as you can, spend as little time not doing tricks as possible.

Remember how sick freestyle was before the backflip ?!

Exactly! Far more style and fun to watch. BMX freestyle is experiencing this same thing, but for us it's tailwhips/barspins. Personally I'd love to see contests based on trick variety, amplitude and style. More beautiful/flowing/stylish runs adding a lot to overall score

I agree. Tricks were so much more creative before everyone had to start doing backflips.

Man I remember watching this. Maaaan his mom was a Fox

OG freestyle! Dirt jumps and no back flips! Wide open on a 125! Unreal.

I remember watching this live, truly one of the defining moments of extreme sports, just opened it all up and showed how much more there was to come!

Man I love watching this guy ride never stops and always goes full throttle and pushes it to the limits. And definitely glad he is still here with us today he is a true down to earth guy I got the chance to meet and hang with him in Cleveland at the gravity games. Dude is my favorite extreme games athlete of all time. Much love from Ohio Travis stay blessed, safe, and healthy

Rm looking good love the rm old school

Man the old school freestyle we all knew and loved still gives chills so many years later. And espn though freestyle would die off after a few years thank god for X GAMES BABY

What an inspiration you are Travis ! Top athletes that have ever existed !

I love how he attacked the entire freestyle course like he was racing it

It's amazing to see what motocross has evolved in to within 20 years. To think this was barely scratching the surface is amazing.

Suspension sure has came a long way.

Funny watching these old clips was such a new sport the announcers had no clue what to say

Brutal, simply brutal, and he was just a teenager! Deep respect for Travis

Tout simplement fabuleux ! Quand on voit ce qu'il était capable de faire à 16 ans on comprend la suite de sa carrière. Un homme hors du commun !

I'm was at the maximum level of excitement when I'm watching this back then.

These years were the really freestyle...There are no words to describe Travis

Great to see x games WITHOUT a back flip and everyone is freaking out! Ahhhh the good ol' days....

It’s so cool to see all the different tricks he can do, way cooler than any backflip combo people do today

It's so refreshing to watch all videos and not have to look at backflips constantly

Fricken legend!

Dirtramps, short landings and a 125 bike whit 0 error margin on the inruns and still pulling the tracks biggest jumps like a boss!

Шикарно!

This was so rad at the time 🙂

Rodney Mullen energy. Would have been amazing to see this live

Not exactly like that in a contest, but I've seen a few insanely crazy no hander landers far beyond this in danger level/skill level. This was rad, and honestly just looked great, but there are people doing stupidly dangerous no hander lander variations in and out of contests

Travis's mom so nervous she cannot look ? If she only knew where it was gonna go. I was on this then and at the Philly games in 02'. Was trying to do it myself in spare time but the progression was insane. Then so many times thinking it just cannot go any further and it still does.

What a run.

Awesome

Wow! my uncle brought this VHS when he was working in the USA in the late 90s and early 2000s, if I'm not mistaken there was another one documenting Pastrana's life, or if it was this one, I don't remember it well...

I'd argue also bring back non-flip maneuver contests. Less dangerous, more style, wider variety of tricks. This was simply more fun to watch than modern contests. Too many flips in my opinion. Or at least a limit to the amount of flips. Loved this.

Good old days notice everyone is enjoying the event minimal security nothing like these days everyone just films with their smartphones.

I can't remember I was only 8 but was this before backflipping? Whrn was the first one done?

They should reboot gravity games but on the moon. Build stadiums on the moon for skate and BMX and space suit electric dirtbikes fmx free ride jump over moon craters with moon gravity and call it gravity games. must watch tv

Ripper!

No one could do a back flip. Then after the first one.....everyone's instantly doing them
