X Games 16 – Travis Pastrana’s seventh Moto X gold medal
15 years ago
Travis Pastrana has won his seventh Moto X Freestyle gold medal this morning. Pastrana didn’t have to use the double backflip this year – instead creatively utilising the course to throw backflips off the smallest features and getting serious height on the wallride.
Eighteen-year-old New Zealander Levi Sherwood was Pastrana’s only challenger, coming within two points on his second run. But this wasn’t enough to squash Pastrana and he took the gold. On his victory lap he threw a double backflip for the crowd, which responded with a massive uproar in the stadium.
