Sam Pilgrim - MTB FIRST EVER FLAT DROP FRONT FLIP!!!
I spoke to Sam, he said he wanted to put this down, he built the drop, set it up, had a few tries and this is what came out.
He thinks it might be an MTB first as well.
Rider: Sam Pilgrim
Filmer: Harvey Havell

at the begining i thought he was going off it normal and then he did the frontflip and i was like WTF

kisse from norway was actually the first one to land this trick. This looks more like a tiretap to frontflip.
Video of kisse and other attempts:

Arguably kisse's frontflip is more dailed as well; he doesnt do that ugly tiretap, and he doesnt put a foot down

To be fair Sam didnt put his foot down on landing, as its sand - the bike got stuck so he had to pull it forward. Or at least thats what it looks like

Also, didn't Ben De Roni, here on pinkbike, also land a frontflip, on a DH bike with shivers as well. I know he tried lots of them, I'm sure one was sucessful.

Lol @ myself, ALSO, didn't he ALSO...Anyways:

Ben De Roni frontflip, I think I remember seeing him land one as well, back in 07, 08. This was definitely not the first in any case, and Kisse's flip deserves VOD way more. This is still insanely sick, and I like that little tiretap

people have been doing this for years, im fairly sure a trials rider did them in one of the down videos.

First of all, he didn't nail it, he put his feet down. And second, It has already been done both on mtb and bmx. And last, Pilgrim has no style what so ever.

yea he has lots of style, but i cant see this trick being done at any competitions like crankworxs or anything, especially with the tiretap..

whats up with claiming first??
There are quite alot of riders who has done this trick before, on mtb and bmx...
As said before, norwegian riders Niels and Kisse did this over 4 months ago...
(www.pinkbike.com/video/74506) way more style, and Kisse lands it without putting his feet out and without tiretapping before flipping...

why do so many people have to put stuff like this down? whats the point what are you gaining out of slatting someone elses riding? hmmmm oh yer nothing at all.so why do you do it???.LOSERS.
- + 1
what are you on about bro, all i can see is people saying "holy f@#k" or "thats awesome but its been done", and they are allowed to voice that. And dont be judgemental either bro, calling people Losers, coz what are you gaining by calling people Losers. Not a hell of alot id imagine.
Props Sam. Keep progressing man.
