Fearless since the earliest days of Freestyle, riders have put life and limb on the line all for the thrill of defying the impossible. As the competition circuit took the main stage, riders like Mike Metzger, Robbie Maddison, Brian Deegan, Kyle Loza and Travis Pastrana trained to push Moto X freestyle to a new level.
Claiming to land a never before done trick or combo into the foam pit is one thing, but throwing it down at the X Games is what separates the best from the rest. Moto X: Evolution of the Trick documents the biggest breakthrough moments in the history of the sport. From nac-nac combos and no handed flips to record distance jumps and the historic double backflip, theres no telling where the progression will go next.
