July 30, 2010 8:45 AM ET
Despite having the gold medal already under wraps before the start of his 3rd run, Travis Pastrana hits a double backflip on his final run much to the delight of the spirited crowd. It's just the second-ever double backflip landed in X Games history - Pastrana also landed the other one in 2006. Pastrana wins his 7th-career XG FMX gold medal, despite competing in this event for the first time since 2006. It's also his 10th overall XG gold medal, moving him into a tie for 2nd with Tony Hawk for most career X Games gold (Dave Mirra, 14). Levi Sherwood wins silver; Nate Adams bronze.
