@sd52bad- seems to me that hes starting the second 180... he's upside down and facing forward, 180 vertical and 180 horizontal unless I'm really braindamaged

oh, and if he was going for a flair there he wouldnt keep looking over his shoulder after overrotating that 180 if he wanted to stick it.. you know, unless I'm really braindamaged and got that one wrong aswell

think about it for a moment. how many people can land normal 720s on a mountain bike consistently? why would they be doing "Corked 720s" when they cant even stick a normal 720?

in shot 5 when hes FOWARD but UPSIDEDOWN he is at 180 of the 360 and mid FLIP.
He lands at 270, not quite rotated.

flag roywiththehair (Jan 15, 2008 at 10:56)
no mate, i'm pretty sure if you look closely as i have, you'll see that he spins twice (720) while he flips. i've seen Jordie Lunn's flip 3 cos i've watched NWD 7 about a hundred times so dont imply im the ignorant one, yeah? even though i can't say for certain what it is, having never done a flip 360 or a flip 720, if you look at the picture and try to count how many times he spins its very easy to get confused and anyone whos done a trick like this can see that it's an easy mistake to make! so urban125; grow up buddy, and kid with the stuff; dont think cos you saw a video on youtube once of jordie "junn" (lol) you know what your talking about ok? anyway, its an excellent sequence and mega props to the rider, whatever hes doin!!! it maybe is a flip 3 but i've never seen a sequence of one before, i just assumed this was a flip 7 cos i counted two spins

It's actually a corked 720. He's doing 2 rotations, the first one is completed by the 5th sequence. A 360 backflip REQUIRES you to do a flair, and I really don't see one there.

Ok I think you all need explanations! This is a 360 flip but you can't see the landing because it's behind the dirt!!! Infortunately, he didn't land the trick correctly. That's too bad if you think how difficult that trick is! Only Jordie Lunn did it in a contest on a mtb! Anyway, props to damien for trying such a trick during a contest!!!

[/ He's jumping right foot forwards, so he's spinning backside you can see 270 of a spin,you can't see the landing,if that,s just a pile of dirt and the other side is just a packed down version of what you see then it could be a backside 270 backfip to fakie, i've seen people land stuff pretty fast fakie it "could" be. If there's a smaller dirt lander in the same direction as the take off , then it could be a 360 backflip with a bit of transfer, cause it moves to the side. I feel that there's a realtively soft landing area and it's either a minor bail or a scetchy make at a 3 flip,totally excellent pic make's me want paint sh1t pink too abmB]

Jesus christ there are some dumb dumbs... 360 flip is the same as a corked 720 pretty much. Both require two full rotations, only the 360 flip the rider has to be upside down at the point of completion of the first 360. If it was a 720 flip he would have to spin 3 rotations. Get it?? And by the looks of it i highly doubt he landed it as the bike has got in front of him at 270 degrees into his second spin meaning he would most likely wash out on landing.

isn't a flair a 180 backflip on a quarter pipe and a rodeo is a backflip 180 from point A to point B (jump to landing). To me this looks like a rodeo 720, but i guess most people are calling it a 3-flip.

it's not a flair, a flair is a backflip 180 in a quarterpipe. it looks more like a 360flip or a weird barrel rol to me. but anyways, props for the trick tup

Definitely not a 720 invert, it's a 360 backflip. In the penultimate shot, he's about to rotate the final 90 to land, only he doesn't. Insane move.

such a sweet pic! its a 720 flatspin for the people wanting to know what it is.......a flair is only on a quarter pipe/halpipe flip-air is what a flair is.....so basically its a 180 backflip......if it was a 720 flip he wud be upsidedown alot more than that. if he did a 540 flatspin he would have landed backwards. So hope i helped...

flag Phil-rides-a-bike (Nov 16, 2008 at 12:13)
its a 360 flip! no flatspin in that, just a backwards spin, they kinda have the same technique but a flat spin is FLAT not UPSIDEDOWN and i only see 1 sideways rotation in that. just put it together, theres one backwards spin and one sideways spin = 360 backflip

Okay, so I have no knowledge to back this up, as I am only a downhiller, and dirt jumps scare the bejezus out of me.....I have to ask though, if he is at two separate points facing downward, doesn't that qualify him for at least a 540, if not a 720? Just trying to understand here....

its not a 3 flip....he rotates twice and doesnt go fully upside down. On the 5th pic he is going round for his SECOND full rotation which its so obvious to see!! if he was doing a 3 flip he would be doing ONE full rotation aswell as being almost inverted
its a 720 flatspin morgan wade does these ALL the time.....a 360 flip looks nothing like this!
also if he was doing a 3 flip he would have gone off the lip straight and dropped his shoulder when almost inverted however here he carves up the lip and drops his shoulder early therefore making him do a flatspin 720

flag Phil-rides-a-bike (Nov 16, 2008 at 12:18)
no hes just got to 180 at that point. hes backflipping so hes the wrong way for landing for it to have already been at 360.
and no, its muc harder to spin a flip on a mountainbike so you have to start each pretty much the same time, my mate tries them in foam all the time and can only get 180 but the rotation is pretty much the same as this pic.

flag keenanbikes (May 3, 2008 at 12:38)
want my opinion and I'm pretty good at visualizing tricks. that right there is a front side 630 degree back flip. I thought of how he spun off and how he managed to land with himself facing 90 degrees away from his launch it definitely more than a 360 back flip but it would really help if you had a back view angle of his jump but from what i can make out he throws out a 540+90 corked back flip and thats my best guess because there's now way thats a 270 to much difference between the 9 speed shots
dunno cork 270 is like 45% maybe
and the odd 630 degree aerial flip is more the 55% lucky guess
but i didn't know anyone could whip a corked flip that well

from what i can tell, its a 360 flip, but i moved my body to each photo there and it looks like a 360 flip moving into a wierd barrel rolling motion as if you look at picture 6 to the final one the angle of the bike doesnt change much, him moving around does. its deffinitly not a 720 flip but what i do think it is is a 360 flip gone slightly wrong.
