That is definately the sickest thing on a bike other than the jumps over 250 feet.  Gives me the chills just watching it....  that is the first time I have seen it too ! ! !   I was at work when it was being broadcast on TV.  This is what I was doing

We were coming back from a call and the door malfunctioned at the station.  We spent the next hour taking it apart to get the engine out from under it.  Meanwhile Travis was making History ! ! !

I was watching it on my TIVO DVR when about one minute before the jump, it stopped recording since it went over-time and I forgot to put extra minutes on the recording to compensate for that!  :oops:

Got to see it the next day though and couldn't believe how perfect it was.  That guy is a nut and it's sad to say but at his rate I would be surprised if someday he's paralyzed trying to entertain us.  :|

The guy is awesome. I've been watching him since he was 15. Awesome kid! Balls of steel.

  How about the guy that tried the 360 and chickened out half way and landed sideways?

Travis was the first to complete that last year too! That's gotta suck bad.
