My first BMX Backflip!! (VIDEO)

So about a year and a half ago me and soem friends found a place to jump bikes into water and had a contest to see who the first one to backflip was. I ended up being first followed by maybe 5 or 6 more over a long time. Now the challenge was to see who would be the first to land it to dirt. I got it again yesterday and here is all my attempts.

Thanks man it was one amazing feeling finally riding away from one. Mainly b/c most of the other ones hurt like hell!

 

Nice man, thats pretty good. Your head gets pretty close to the ramp a couple times.

 

lol at :30. I would have either broke my neck or got really pissed off after the 5th time of cracking my nuts or the bike landing on top of me.


congrats though!



oh yeah, props to you for being smart and wearing a full face helmet.

 

hey man good work keep it up youll be stickin them soon......

i come from mountain bikes.....competed slopestyle for 3 years and this took me forever to learn.......

just a suggestion but try keeping down in your knees more like your pumping over a roller it will help ......right now your rotation is getting cut short by your fast knee extention

 

Oh ya the one a few after i landed with the freeze frame of it im pretty sure my helmet scraped it. there is a mark on the tip of my visor

 

Haha ya the faceplant is one of my favorites. but never hit the nuts fortunatly. and ya that is a nice full face helmet. its a Shoei motocross helmet.

 

Thats sick. And thanks for the advice i have also been told keep my arms in more. Hopefully i can get it dialed in and land it everytime instead of one out of ever 30 or so.

 

you got lucky. lol It looked like a few of them you railed yourself on the top tube. lol I guess we would know when you didn't get back up. Shoei makes some nice helmets. I have always been a fan of them.

 

i know your were probably trying to keep the landing forgiving .....for diggers
but also try packing the landing a bit you had a couple times when you could have ridden out but just kinda smashed into the soft dirt......

keep up the progress ..... ill try to find some videos of me to show you what im taking bout with the knees!!!

 

Ya my only injuries from it consist of shins that look something like mogels on a ski run and a little swelling in one of my knees(which has gone down now) and soreness everywhere! and ya i got that helmet for a good deal at 400 bucks and its one of the first times ihave used it.

 

The ones where i should have landed i was just coming up short and smashing into it. It looks a lot softer in the video than it was too.
