 Umm... "Watch Adrian Tell nail the world's first step-up back flip to manual to front flip drop in Alfta Bike Park at the beginning of August."

That was insane video game stuff right there.

 Good call on pointing that out. Although the paragraph shown on the main page should be in the article. I notice PB has different content in there and when you access the article, which is kinda obscure and confusing.

 Oh jeeze, it takes 2 seconds to find out who it is just by clicking on the video. People need to relax.

 @scott-townes: When it was originally posted there was no mention of the rider's name at all. They have since updated it.

 Very cool! When I was a BMX freestyler back in the 80's, I swear a shirtless drunk guy on a 10 speed with turned up bars (DUI recipient?) told me he did that same trick on his Schwinn Stingray. "Really? I want to see that!" He then proceeded to do a stand up wheelie on his 10 speed and looped out to unconscious.. Never believed him for a second.

 Was probably some bet he made with a kid he made at work. Even thougher than peer pressure. At least they'll listen to him this year, so well worth it.

 same guy who did the frontie tuck of a flat drop, and same guy sending cashrolls and double flips and with so much style at air to the throne alongside matt jones and roatikin and yet has very little recognition within the mtb community compared to others. He needs a new crazy edit for sure.

 Trick is truly awesome, but I think the slo-mo audio is probably my favorite part of the video.

 He also did a frontflip tuck no hander down the same flat drop, it's on fb. Insane stuff.

 He's got the worst Tell (In terms of poker face) - should have kept his trick card(s) close and debut it at Joyride which would have shaken things up!
