is not only a full suspension bike, that shit has a marzocchi monster on the front!! even if it's not a super monster it still is a beefy and heavy fork. hope he didn't get hurt.

props! bu I would recommend to learn the backflip into a foampit or into the water. It is also much more easy to learn it on a hardtail!
don't hurt and keep on riding! Nice photo anyway!

here is a reccomendation... seing as it looks like ur not doing it rite... first off when u go to flip, pull up hard, lean head back, grip the top tube of ur frame as if u were doing a tuck nohander (this prevents u from letting go of the bike) and basically lean back, once u spot ur landing pull ur legs underneath u (still gripping frame with knees) and then land it.... u look like ur trying to flip but then ur bailing and just flinging the bike above u.... that shit hurts... try in a foam pit instead of constantly killing urself.... also its alot easier to learn a backflip on a hardtail first then try it o a fully
