After his horrific double flip crash in Madrid a few months back, there was no telling if or when Cam Sinclair would be back on the dirt bike. But determination is never lacking in Freestyle Motocross riders, and Cam is no exception.



According to a post on ESPN's site, Cam is officially back on the bike, and not just cruising around... he's flipping again,… Continue

Ronnie Renner was at it again this weekend for Red Bull's High Rise event in Chicago. A few months back he set the Motorcycle Quarterpipe height record out in Venice, California, but Renner wasn't letting anyone else get a jump on topping him.



This weekend Renner set a new Guinness World Record 22-foot-tall quarterpipe, as 41 feet 5 inches from the top of the ramp, or 63 feet 5 inches high, total. Personally, I think the measurement from… Continue

Spanish native Dany Torres kept Madrid's X-Fighters title in Spain earlier today, beating out Nate Adams, the winner of the Fort Worth round. Adams put down a huge run, but the judges favored Torres. While I was merely watching the live web cast, Adams did not appear to agree with the judges.



Cam Sinclair took a nasty fall on a double backflip. No solid report on his condition as of yet, but the word is he's had surgery to repair a lacerated liver and is in a medically induced coma.… Continue

In true guerilla fashion, Robbie "Maddo" Maddison backflipped the gap on the London Bridge last night around 2:30am.

Rumors had been circulating that he was up to something, but no one outside Robbie's circle and Red Bull knew what was up. Amongst tight lips, Maddo flipped the 75-foot gap in the middle of the night, with no practice and a small… Continue

The fine and wacky folks from the Nitro Circus (ie Travis Pastrana, Street Bike Tommy, Andy Bell, and crew) are planning an all-out arena tour for 2010.



"The brand is on its way to becoming a global youth powerhouse and the energy and creativity coming from these guys is phenomenal. There will be characters and themes from the TV show, but the live show concept will be created from the ground up, as the most exciting and jaw dropping experience you can have inside an arena. It is our… Continue

Freestyle Motocross is no stranger to BMX inspired tricks. From the can-can to the backflip, the inspiration and evolution continues. For years, backflips on a motorcycle were a "what if" dream trick. Then in the early 1990s BMX rider Bob Kohl took the flip from his BMX bike to an 80cc motocross bike and started performing across the country. Years later Carey Hart brought the backflip to the main stage with his Gravity Games attempt, and things haven't stopped from there.

A few years ago I shot photos at Travis Pastrana's house in Maryland. It's like some sort of bizarre playland which is bound to make doctors very, very rich.



There are crashed cars everywhere (from filming the Nitro Circus videos) motocross courses, an indoor skatepark/shop/bmx-sized foam pit, the FMX foam pit, and even a water slide carved into the side of a hill.



Leaving Travis' house in one piece is no easy feat. At one… Continue
