In conclusion: if you want to fakie frontflip a DJ bike, your best bet is a Transition.

Nah not the first, but this guy's totally badass. Can we get Antti some f*ckin' spons up in here? This guy should be rippin' the slope scene hard by now.

For those looking for the answer to the question, fast forward to 1:54...

freeride-forever (Apr 27, 2015 at 13:53)

First, that doesn't answer the question.

Second, jumping to 1:54 means missing all the badass before it. :s

Talent for sure. That being said, when we quit trying to just be large bmxers real Mtn biking happens. This is cool but it's just retread on bmx territory

Also doing busdrivers instead of properly thrown barspins is like landing tailwips on the frame, bad style for no real gain in making the trick easier.

I dunno, busdrivers to me are just a different thing. Drive the bus! Maybe one should have to honk the horn for a proper busdriver!

RedBurn (Apr 23, 2015 at 14:13)

I already saw that trick on an hardtail at least in three different videos, so no it s not the first ever

We wouldn't have slopestyle without ramp park riding. This is where the trick progression happens and get incorporated into dirt/slopestyle jumps. Sweet vid/ riding and park!

I think the more important claim would be first fakie front flip on a bicycle. In which case this was done long long ago in BMX

man, these titles get to me, in that they are extremely presumptuous. please ad a mere "on camera" if anything, for good measure

Amazing riding. But to be honest I hated all the slomo. Couldn't even watch it proberly, just skipped through it. In my opinion slow motion is just wrong for this kind of riding. It just totally doesn't capture how it feels to ride skateparks. Plus the bangers happen so slowly it actually makes it boring to watch. Big props to Antti though for his super sick riding! That guy really shreds hard

I feel like I've seen this done on a bmx before, but I'm not sure where.

Hyperx (Apr 23, 2015 at 14:12)

Its not so hard trick.Normal frontflip is way harder)
Many people in bmx do this, and even with tuck nohander.
Its park trick, so I think real mtb riders from top of FMB world tour can easily do this, but they ride MTB courses

Hyperx, "Its not so hard trick."

Spoken like a true Monday morning armchair quarterback.

juberjaber , mm. I know riders, they cant even simple backflip, but they do fakie frontflips.Just because its really not hard trick. And yes, if u ride something like enduro/am , its looks like impossible.But if u can backflip and frontflip on dirt, u will understand, what I am talking about.

As far as I remember, fakie is only possible in skateboard (back foot on nose of skate). Am I wrong?
