Unreleased Photos of XG15 Practice

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind-the-scenes, while your favorite riders are preparing themselves for big contests like X Games?

So did we, so we asked X Games Golden Boy Travis Pastrana if we could tag along with him to the Red Bull Compound in the days prior to X Games 15 in L.A., where TP will unveil his new 720, corkscrewed backflip.

Travis, being the nice guy he is, simply gave us a patented ?thumbs-up,? and it was on! Of course, Ronnie Renner was also on-hand, getting ready for Big Whip and Step-Up.
