mike has done so many flip variations, but unlike most riders who make a big deal about it, he just does them and keeps it to himself. the dudes an animal but to him, he's just messing around and having fun.
I wish his contest riding could show half of what he's capable of and does in his off time.

MM has not only the ultimate mix of tricks, flip var's or otherwise, but he's got the most killer moto style to go with 'em. I'd like to see more of him & more of him winning.
