The stunt too risky for an X Games legend [Video]




Of all the dangerous tricks Travis Pastrana has tried, and all the broken or bruised body parts he has endured, nothing has frustrated the action sports legend quite like the 720, aka, the Toilet Paper Roll.

Though the name sounds innocuous, consider what the trick entails: launching from a steep ramp and back-flipping a motorcycle while simultaneously attempting an off-axis spin, completing a 720-degree rotation by trick's end.

Or just flip a roll of toilet paper across the room and envision that being a motorcycle with Pastrana riding it.
