Flair 540 tap footjam!

Nov 5, 2009

Hey there, my name is Lewis Nolan, I'm 18 years old and hail from Perth Western Australia.

I'm actually a Moto Trials rider, but I thought you'd be stoked on this trick video that I made of a flair 540 tap footjam! Sorry about the non HD quality, but I think the trick will stoke you out.

Check it,

Flair 540 tap foot jam:

I was just in Europe for 3 months riding trials and really missing my hard tail back home, as I'd just learned flips prior to heading to Europe. Upon returning home, all I wanted to learn was more sweet flip variations. The Flair 540 tap was my favorite, so why not try that?!

The first few attempts were onto foam mattresses out of a quarter pipe, and then straight to concrete. The next day I landed 2 of them and was so stoked!

Hey, you know Brad Ewen has intellectual property ownership over that saying, right?

ytu45 (Nov 8, 2009 at 12:57)

Oh man. I'm not gonna get sued, am i?

bullitxl (Nov 9, 2009 at 6:47)

Ah ha ha, too funny. No I think you're safe. I was just mocking Mr. Ewen. If you've ever heard his commentary you'd know what I mean.

ytu45 (Nov 12, 2009 at 16:45)

yeah, its pretty funny. i heard it on a crankworx highlight reel. does get a bit annoying after a while, though.

dchs (Nov 5, 2009 at 21:57)

Get yourself a video of what you have to show. If you jump on over to hucktoflat.com (local WA site) then there are guys who will help you out with that. Fatbadger in particular does some really good video work, he's in New York right now but he's back very soon.
