This is the first episode of Travis Pastrana's new series. If this is what we can expect, we're instant fans. In this episode, The Godfrey Clan work toward the elusive triple backflip and nail it.
Gavin Godfrey and Ethen Godfrey Roberts grew up in Salt Lake City. That had a pretty normal childhood other than there uncle was Gregg Godfrey him self! The God Father of Nitro Circus! They were flipping dirt bikes and jumping cars before they hit puberty! Now after ridding with Nitro Circus for the past 2 years they have really found there niche in the free ride mountain bike world. They set out on a goal to land the Triple Back Flip, never before done on a mountain bike. With encouragement and help by the whole Godfrey/Roberts family, they built the biggest jump either of them have ever seen! On the same day both made history and landed the triple back flip to dirt!
Gavin says "This is only the beginning"
Get ready for what Gavin and Ethen are whipping up for the future! There are no limits to what these boy can do!

If they practiced and focused on slopestyle they probably could become good, but that would likely mean less training and resources for this type of thing. It's difficult to do both.

What is also true on the other hand is that the ultimate machine for downhill and rampage is mtb and not bmx. Nobody needs to be sad here. Riding a bicycle, generally, is the raddest thing you can do on this planet. (this and eating ice cream probably).
