Anybody been watching it on Dave?
I used to think freestyle motocross was a a bit boring (apart from the X-Games which was always where the new tricks where shown etc..) but watching this recently, has totally amazed me! Them guys have serious balls of steel, some of the stuff they are throwing down these days is incredible.
And also does anybody know if Robbie Maddison has something wrong with him? He seemed to have some crazy twitching going on on the one thats just been on in Madrid.

Is Maddison not the one they call 'Twitch' on account of his tourrets/general twitchyness?0

Stenberg is known as Twitch. Don't think he does X-fighters anymore, but he was in the recent x-games. Proper legend too.
But yes, Maddison also seems to have developed a twitch after his big off.0 -
Yeh my first thought where is his nickname twitch, but then I remembered that was Stenberg.

Some of the whips these days are ridiculous, I'm sure if they carried on rotating they could do a proper 360!0 -

Totally Mr Whippy. I am a big fan of the whips where they just rotate like they are doing a 360, then just flick it back. The ones where they get flat to the ground are pretty sick as well.0 -

That one is better than most of them, but I still don't class it as a proper 360! Its just a tweaked backflip.0 -

Wouldn't surprise me, the guy is a flamin loony.
You seen some of the stuff he gets up to in Nitro Circus? Real balls of steel right there.0 -

No Dave on freesat. And we have a freeview box, but no ariel, just satellite. It'll do for now until i can be arsed to sort one out. 14week old boy takes up most my free time at the moment

He tried it for a barspin backflip, but the front fork just fell off as soon as he landed.
Nitro circus is an amazing programme, the episode where they break loads of Guinness world records is quality.0 -

Nice one, didn't realise he had ever landed it (if that sort of jumps counts as landing it?).0 -
