Armando Castro (El Toro Loco) won the Great Clips 2-Wheel Skills World Championship at SoFi Stadium on Saturday with a moonwalk into a Morgan & Morgan backflip.
It is the first time he has pulled off such a move and it earned him the winning score of a 9.656.
It is Armando’s second Monster Jam World Finals World Championship, having won the Speedster Racing Championship in 2019.
Castro was sitting last heading into the second round, having just scored a 3.305 on his first attempt. Castro was visibly emotional after his winning run, with the win coming on the day that would have been his late sister’s wedding day.
OH MY GOODNESS‼️
