and other irrelevant chit-chat 
Josh Sheehan has become the first person to land a triple backflip on a motocross bike.
Sheehan completed the feat Tuesday at Pastranaland, the action sports park owned by Travis Pastrana in Maryland.
The 29-year-old Australian reached a speed of 60 mph and hit a 37-foot takeoff ramp built at an 81 degree angle. He reached a height of 80 feet while whipping his 200-pound motorcycle around three full revolutions.
Sheehan practice the jump by landing into an air bag before completing it at Pastrana's complex.

I watched Wingfixer's WR do that on the double hill climb at Granvilles a few weeks ago; and he almost caught it when it came back down from orbit.
