"i wud love to see all these pr bmxers get straight on a 26 and bust all there tricks without fail, u lil wheelers just dont know how much harder it is! "

i would like to see the inverse as well. Dont hate on biking love to all bmx and mtb.

tristan213 (May 6, 2009 at 21:09)

haha theres already proof of that
many slopestyle riders have gotten good positions in bmx dj comps

RossCrispin92 (Feb 22, 2011 at 5:53)

I come from a BMX background. I find most tricks on 26" easier, apart from 360s...

THE TITLE IS MISSLEADING SEEING AS IT SAYS FLIP AND THIS IS A TAIL WHIP SO I WAS BIT CONFUSED AT FIRST

sdalsorts (May 1, 2010 at 9:51)

The Title is "FIRST EVER MTB BIKE FLIP - SAM PILGRIM" and shows Sam Pilgrim doing the first ever MTB Bike Flip... yes, i can see how this title is misleading...

Joebohobo (May 1, 2010 at 14:03)

oh, so he actually did like a tailwhip but instead of spinning it he fliped it ?

Bjammin (Nov 13, 2010 at 20:48)

Yea. if u watch the slow mo one u'll se that although it looks kinda like a tailwhip at first, its actually totally different

Joebohobo (Nov 15, 2010 at 10:51)

jayjay123 (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:14)

SO because the wheels are a few inches bigger, that makes it somehow cooler than Morgan Wade or the multiple other riders who have been doing this trick for years does it?

bikebreak-er (Jan 26, 2009 at 22:45)

So true respect to all though

tomlotus123 (Jan 27, 2009 at 11:43)

obviously, as a 26 has a completely different feel, usually weighs more aswell, meaning its gonna be a huge task flipping the bike in the air on a dirt jump!

so get 24 then dick shit! Razz

willsoffe (Mar 17, 2009 at 3:02) (Below Threshold) show comment

I've seen it done. By multiple people.

If you want an example. Look at Paul Basigotia, aspparently he had never ridden an MTB before Crankworx, when he won.

jackass142 (Apr 20, 2009 at 9:13)

^bullshit!^ he orginaly rode bmx, then rode 26" for a while then he owned ass at crankworx! get your facts right!

willsoffe (Apr 20, 2009 at 11:01)

It says on his interview after crankworx that someone "gave him a bike" I took that to mean he was a bmxer who got given an MTB for the event?

ballabika Plus (May 5, 2009 at 18:07)

cuz his red iron horse was broken, so cam zink gave him his santacruz for the event cuz cam had his fully anyway

willsoffe (May 7, 2009 at 2:00)

Ah right.

I still think it sounds super arrogant when he says "I guess I beat a lot of big names but I don't really know"

Whatever! What a dick.
