Dude, u better book your place at A&E if you try that again. U got no rotation at all, imagine if you went half way round, you would have landed on your head..... broken neck... collar bones, shoulders, it would have been messy.. If you cant build a big foam pit, get aload of foam, or aload of old bed mattrasess and build a landing out of them, cover it is carpet, and you've got jump that will allow you to make mistakes.
Dirt to Dirt for a novice = Pain.

i think braking my neck would put me off biking and i'll take up ping pong. foam or mulch pits is what we should be incouraging not broken neck.

props for trying that btw lol correct me if I am wrong but I think the bike did more damage to you than the fall itself

[Reply]

chargeiron (Oct 30, 2007 at 12:25)

hes got balls but the jump was a bit too small for a first attempt you'd have 2 rotate mega fast to land that

raak (Dec 13, 2007 at 11:30)

two words for this guy - FOAM PIT. learn it in a pit and you'll send one once you get the feel for it. All you need to pull a backflip is, firstly, a foam pit and then a decent jump and a very real desire to pull one.

energiser354 (Dec 20, 2007 at 0:13)

ha gutted, imagine it could have been a lot worse, erm foam landing on your neck in dirt its sketchy to say the least, but ha batter in mate that was a good effort

[Reply]

blinn (Dec 25, 2007 at 20:25)

so lucky he didnt spin anymore then he did or he would have landed on his head..go to a foam pit before you really get hurt

[Reply]

joe-ee (Dec 26, 2007 at 4:39)

biker00029 (Dec 31, 2007 at 14:34)

wow thats embarissing how bad i was
i need to hit that jump up again kole

[Reply]

keenanbikes (Jan 3, 2008 at 20:39)

he wasn't going to break his neck on a jump like that. you people gotta realize the flip is a total mind over matter trick. once you can convince your self your capable of one you try it, and it does take awhile for your body to learn to spin for it especially when there are no foam pits to practice in. if you don't have one you gotta make sure you can spin it fast and smooth. Tramp biking's another idea for you. and its a lot less space demanding. the only people i know with foam pits live on farms and have a shit load of land to build them you cant just build f*cking foam pit any where in the woods people will wreck the shit out of it then your down 700 dollars

If you can even call it an attempted backflip

[Reply]

bikingroxs22 (Jan 7, 2008 at 17:25)

first you should try one on a trampoline and make a tramp bike almost the best way to learn

dropinonanorco (Mar 30, 2008 at 18:19)

just gotta commit to it, a backflip is all in your head but I would suggest a foam pit or a dock jump into water

[Reply]

pluscraig (Apr 1, 2008 at 6:26)

nice try, just commit, keep your arms straight and pump off the ramp as hard as you can.
