Just to add fuel to the fire about Cary Harts flip attempt at the X-Games, go check out www.tatallyamaha.net and find the video page. Some guy pulled a flip on a sled and rode it out.

I watched that video, It was about 50 attempts and a full day to nail it. The video has some other pretty good shots, jumping houses, or whatever gets in there way.:scream:

By the way, to make this more Dirtbikish that same video had about 10 minutes of a KTM RFS and a VOR tearing up the streets of New York. Climbing stairs, jumping barricades, and scaring pedestrians. That part didn't last long enough though.:) :)

As far as switching bikes in the air, I would put money on Pastrana/Bartram doing it in the doubles comp at the gravity games next year. Rumor has it they have done it in practice. That is, if Travis survives his back flip to parachute stunt next month.............

Ooops! This is my first post...I just wanted to say it would be harder to land and balance a Dirt Bike. Granted...the sled weighs a heck of a lot more but...geez:scream: still very impressive!

I did see a clip of them touching feet in the air. Is there a doubles comp. next year? I missed that announcement. What's the flip to parachute stunt???

There has been a doubles event every year at the gravity games and they have won it every year. Travis is going to jump into some part of the gran canyon, do a couple of back flips, then jump off the bike and parachute to the bottom. It is supposed to happen sometime in mid Dec.
