I remember watching fmx when everyone said doing a backflip was impossible but people kept trying(and usually really hurting themselves) it mad how quickly it has progressed.

Pfff... someone did a triple flip on a BMX in 2011 😉

I wonder, will FMX get to a point where the tricks just stop progressing? Surely it's coming close to plateau / stultification. Or will it just keep going to the point where people regularly die in competition?

Maybe it's already had it's day, and only stunts like this catch the public eye.

Until I see someone do a 360 on an FMX bike (and not some weird half flip whip thing), I maintain it's a sport lacking any style or grace.

Really? 😯 I think there's a lot of negatives you could point to, but I can't say I agree with that.

Yeah. It's just my opinion, and obviously it's tremendously skillful and physical, but I think it completely lacks the smoothness and style of BMX, skateboarding or surfing.

Utterly amazing. They are a bit crazy those fellas.

I saw the Nitro Circus show with my son, it was fantastic entertainment.

Surely progression is natural, and will continue ever onward. Look how long people have been diving, and there is still progression in that. Perhaps technology will play a role, making bikes lighter and more maneuverable, or making it safer to push the boundaries.
