POD Photo of the Day on Nov 20, 2015

Selected by Scott Secco - I don't think Antti Rissanen's double flair got as much press as it should have this year. That's an incredible feat and (I think) he's the first mountain biker to pull this trick. Also a great shot by Lars Scharl as it really shows the height and technicality of the trick.

I've stared at this for five minutes now and i still can't work out what's going on... Impressive!

corkflip + flair

DirtboxTom (Nov 20, 2015 at 6:17)

Yep, still can't work it out... whatever the case, gotta hand it to the guy

Thats a double flair!

Niko182 (Dec 1, 2015 at 21:14)

Just look at it as if it were a backflip plus a 540. That's what it is.

tyler555g (Dec 2, 2015 at 14:27)

Actually a better description would be a double backflip with a 180. A flair is a FL(ip)AIR. So basically a backflip on a quarter pipe. So he did two backflips with a 180.

Niko182 (Dec 2, 2015 at 18:04)

well that works to. at least it look to me like a dipped 3 instead of a flip. but your example works well too.

Finally a double cork on a bike.

WasabiJim (Nov 20, 2015 at 4:42)

and a good sequence!

scott-townes (Nov 20, 2015 at 7:19) (Below Threshold)

Yeahhhhh..... going completely upside down is not corked unless you consider backflips as corked 3s. Regardless, this is a gnar trick.

fecalmaster (Nov 20, 2015 at 9:54)

Yes this is official double cork. I contacted Sean Whites team of lawyers to verify.

scott-townes (Nov 20, 2015 at 11:43)

Fuck, well then I have no rebuttal

fecalmaster (Nov 20, 2015 at 16:32)

Ya bro don't hesitate to give credit to a talented individual. I think if you match this move on video next to a ski dub cork the resemblance would be there. These guys deserve dubba cork money $$$$$$$
