That dude is fucking nuts!!! I dont know how he gets back on the bike half the time. Fucking ninja!

People have been doing backflips and variations since early 2000. Here's a link for ya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freestyle_Motocross

But yeah a front flip was completely unheard of until recently. It's like.. how do you pull a rotation like that on a motoX bike.

that 360 frontflip is out of this world!

seen some of the body varials there doing now? haha

Yeah no shit! As Judas mentioned, they are just busting out video game tricks these days lol
It's insane really.

just saw this though

Here's what I had to say:

Poor guy, the hit was damn hard!
However, I don't understand why he didn't even try to recover in the air. Lack of riding skill maybe?
He was turning the handlebars as soon as he launched off the ramp, in turn causing the rear of the bike to whip out. The same technique with any normal whip.
Once he had completed the rotation of the backflip, he was coming into the landing with the handlebars completely locked to the right holding the whip and ensuring the bike would remain totally sideways on landing.
I thought any motoX rider would have turned the handlebars the other way to pull out of the whip and recover, but not this guy.
I find it quite strange. Maybe he just shit himself mid-air and mind went blank?

oh just saw you reply on SM. haha

To me, that shows inexperience. His handlebars were locked to the right most of the way through the trick.

hmm bars werent cocked until he spotted his landing if you suss it again.

i think he spotted his landing, freaked a little (thinking maybe his rotation wasnt going to be right) and prepared for the bail and froze up..


ive had similar happen many times, flips can do some silly shit to you mid trick sometimes. literally a 20% physical, 80% mental thing.

like fucckk

I would agree with that. But still.. if he's up to the stage of confidently doing backflips on the bike, he would at least know how to recover. It was the end of the trick, and the only difference was it was in a 'slight' whip when he completed the rotation. He had plenty of air time to recover.. so yeah.. definitely just freaked out and froze.
Just look at that vid of Higashino, and how finely he cuts it with some of his tricks. Put him in the same situation and I think he would've attempted to bring the bike back into line.

Again, this is only my opinion. Maybe a vid from a different angle would help clear it up.

the fact this is getting thrown clean into a pit means its probably about a month away from being done in a comp.

Dan you'd have to remember the old Volitile Vision days with Zoli? Some of the old school heads i used to ride with before mashing my knee

and the DH track that we built up at Mt Torrens on a mates property.
http://youtu.be/hz_fbfd4cV4

now DH MTB thread

came up in related vids from the last one. love the tight trails through the trees. So many things I would've had the money for this year, but now won't. Just another reason why breaking my foot is so damn annoying.

http://youtu.be/5uslwIp48Bw

volatile, they had some alright bmx flicks too from the 90s, Lust etc.

yeah Zoli was the man back then, he was the pioneer of bike vids in australia... pleasure farmers was the frist one he did back in 95 i think, i will say the video release parties were off the hook.

riding with marshy was always frustrating as hell, the dude was just so fluid on a bike

man volitile visions. thats going back a while!

ill chuck some vids up a lil later.

When a mod check this thread, can you please rename it to MotoX/MTB or something.. just so we can put all that shit in here and it's labelled. Cheer khunts.
