im saying they both look the same. while i admit it looks liek 2 rotations rather than flips, in tyhe 5th frame on the top one hes is upside down. very confusing trick indeed

yeah two rotations as in a flip and a spin. theyre both 360 backies. im pretty sure its a f*ckin hard trick to do and make it look like the 2 tricks put together rather than a 720 but i dont think anyone could cork a 7 that hugely.
the top one looks more like a 3 flip than Jordie's one anyway.
has anyone that thinks these are 720s noticed that a flair doesnt even really look like a backflip 180?

*sorry Jordie's is more obviously a 3 flip but it looks way harder to tell in the video

I think jordie lunn is upside down in frame three so if he is thats really is i 360 backflip but the other one was a long way from that.

its not a 360 flip!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS its an OFF AXIS 720
there are two rotations, and the body is neevr completely unside down, close but never goes completely, so it is NOT a 3flip.. geeze lol

yea, u've right! the 360 backflip and 720 cork are almost same!
maybe a little difference in the axis!

jordies is a flip 3,ok honestly i was so confudes with it then i just watched bmx jumping and it was easy to figure it out. i think jordie did a flip 3,he said it was a flip 3 so at any rate he was TRYING to do a flip 360,and honestly thats what it looked like in a flip 3 oviosuly theres gona be no point when ur tootaly upside down i mean think about your doing a 3 at the same time!
