Did anyone catch the Freestyle Motocross on the Gravity Games?

That was awesome. This kid 15 yr old kid Pastrana kicked everyone's butt.

If you guys get a chance to watch the show, do it. It was the coolest thing. This other guy did a trick called a superman. He is on a jump about 40-60 feet wide and he lets go of the bars, grabs the rear fender and then pulls on the fender to grab on the bars again. Oh yah, he lands it. Too wild.

There is an article on this site about it. They even have a web site.

If you like radical tricks on quads or bikes, you have to check this out.

I thought the superman was stretching your body out horizontal while hanging onto the bars (thus looking like superman flying). I think that fender one is much more difficult. He should call it the Bumpershine! He also had one called the Lazyboy, did you see that one?

Rod - 86 250R (1 failed superman attempt)

 

I think the lazyboy is when you lie back on the machine with only your knees under the bars to hold you on.

That 'superman' that the guy in red did was too cool. I think he got spooked at that jump, because it looked like he forgot where he was on the track right after it.

So, did your superman attempt come by accident?
