Memorable Moment 11: K-Rob's Double Flair

Going into his tenth straight X Games, Robinson had only three bronze medals in Vert on an otherwise legendary BMX resume. For years, Robinson had been working on the sport's first-ever double flair, but it was beginning to look like the trick--and a Gold--were out of reach. So when he dropped in for Vert Best Trick, even his own competitors were pulling for him. Robinson did not disappoint. "That was three years in the making," he said after securing Gold. "It's the end of a three-year-long day."Tags: Actionsports, Bmx
