Poor guy, lost half an arm in sequence 5.

stupendousman (Sep 14, 2011 at 2:08)

His arm is in front of his upper body to do the barspin... he's still complete, no worries Wink

So sick, but to be honest I would rather see the sequence of 15 yo Anthony Messere's double backflip over the big gap. Thatt was way sicker than this, even tough this is insanely sick too

stupendousman (Sep 14, 2011 at 4:56)

He did it over the "small" one, not the big one.

spongebomb (Sep 14, 2011 at 5:21)

My bad, though I he did it over the big one. Still sick tho

jbike101 (Sep 14, 2011 at 6:51)

you wont hip it!!

borocks (Sep 14, 2011 at 7:01)

at first I thought it was a whip and a cancan haha

hondarider241 (Sep 14, 2011 at 13:36)

Anthony's double flip was super sketchy though

benjamindoucett (Sep 14, 2011 at 18:22)

I remember McCaul trying these at crankworx one year but never got em, so sick!

ballabika Plus (Sep 14, 2011 at 21:26)

mccaul did these on a slopebike in 2006 lol

spongebomb (Sep 15, 2011 at 2:49)

I can still remember how I almost fell out of my chair when Timo Pritzel almost landed the double backflip in NWD4 (4 right?). I didn't see that coming at all. Same with Dave Watson tour de france gap in NWD4

I think Soderstrom should have won because of his huge style. Bar spin to nak and bar spin to tail whip are amazing combos... Look better than flips IMO
