March 9, 201313 yr Wow I still wince every time i see a backflip, just dont like what would happen if it went wrong. Age related probably
March 9, 201313 yr Was that a clean and is this what they mean with the "non stop "rule . Got to admire skill haven,t you .
March 10, 201313 yr Very nicely done, I have seen video of Travis Pastrana do backflips off some pretty small take offs with his MX bike. This may be shorter than I have seen him do. Pretty close Wow I still wince every time i see a backflip, just dont like what would happen if it went wrong. Age related probably There have been some recent deaths in the Freestyle motorsports disciplines. (moto x and snowmachine) and if my info is correct they were all crashes while doing a backflip of some kind. So yea I wince a bit also ..... but I also still watch.
March 10, 201313 yr The rider is Australian Jack Field. He recently just competed in his first big EnduroX in America, The King of the Motos, decided to ride his standard Gas Gas Pro 280 at the last minute (leaving the KTM 300 in the pit garage), and came 7th outright over the 160 mile course. He is also competing in the 4 round X-Games series kicking off in Brazil, and the Geco AMA Enduro-X series in America this year. His bike skills are amazing. Check out a quick clip of one of his small shows: Edited March 10, 201313 yr by arnoux
March 11, 201313 yr There are at least 3 video of trials in Japan, where this one rider tries backflipping in more than trials event. the last one I saw him try he failed, on the "step step step" video, or something like that was the name (might find it on youtube)...
March 11, 201313 yr Yosiaki Nomoto better side view of the "festival of trial" backflip The "Step Step Step" video Nomoto starts the section at 7:50 and backflip at 9:05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7upsfx-sgkY
March 12, 201313 yr Author Absolutely nuts, cheers Zippy. That 1st video, was his bike running sick? and he still went for the back-flip...in the section?
March 12, 201313 yr Absolutely nuts, cheers Zippy. That 1st video, was his bike running sick? and he still went for the back-flip...in the section? Yep I have no life and can search youtube. Does sound a bit "off", He took a massive fall at the end of the first video. glad he was ok (bounces good too )
March 13, 201313 yr Does the backflip count as a 5 in the new no-stop rule? Only if he backflips in the same spot, if he continues "forward" motion in the section, then he's good????
March 13, 201313 yr Give him a five, see if you get punched by the rider, and rushed by the crowd, lol.
