What happened at AGT?
Bruce Cook came to AGT with a reputation. He tried to do a backflip using his dirt bike with the state he is on, not moving legs or the lower part of his body. He was going to wear seat belts while doing the trick, and every outcome would be tolerated by him as he didn’t have any escape. Travis got sensitive before the trick, and he said that “I can judge, but I’m not allowed to vote for Cook as he is one of my best friends.” Just like he promised, he did it. Not only did he do, but he earned the respect of the judges.
“That is pretty incredible. I think your determination is inspiring to us all,” said Simon. When coming to Travis’s comments, “How did you do that? While you were doing that flip, your body was tied to a 250-pound animal, a coyote. I’m so proud of you”. “I have not seen anything like this before, and you truly are incredible,” said Nikki Bella.
