Rider pulls off first triple backflip on a motorcycle

A 37-foot tall takeoff ramp was positioned at a ridiculous 81-degree angle in order to give Josh Sheehan as much time in the air as possible to complete the trick.

And gunning along the ramp at a speed of 60mph, Sheehan and his 200lb bike took off, reaching a height of over 80ft and turning over three times before landing.

‘It was an exhilarating ride and to be the first person to ever have done this was definitely a defining moment in my career and a dream come true,’ Sheehan said.

His teammate, Travis Pastrana, who was the first ever to land a double backflip, called the achievement ‘so awesome’.

‘The slightest misstep may well have meant death,’ he said.

While it's amazing, I find it very foolish to risk your life like he did.

Now that was impressive and the perfect landing as well
