Flipping an Open Loop with Matt Macduff - Video

Nov 16, 2017
by Red Bull Bike  



Ever dreamed of building and riding an open loop? Well, maybe this will be the motivation you need to make it happen. All it takes is a skid steer, lumber, some talented builders, and the guts to give it a go once it's built. No big deal, right?

 I wanted to say "rubber side down" Matt but that doesn't quite fit here.
Disgustingly beautiful build guys!

 @WAKIdesigns: Yo no hablo, bro. As you can see I just copy-n-pasted that from your IG.

I believe what you are saying is to now is: Rise above the shit, drink much pilsner in a Polish utopia?

 @WAKIdesigns: either google translate is seriously flawed or there's a problem at your end.

 For sure. Good of Jesse Pinkman and Sideshow Bob to build and ride that ramp with him.

 So cool to see Aaron chase still gettin after it, and seeing macduff upside down again. High level dudes still willing to shovel and pay the price. Thanks for posting it pb

 Is it really that much of an advantage to not have brakes that makes not having brakes worth it?

 Sadly it's not open to the public. It's super easy to find, and it's only roped off, but still, you lose your ticket if you do it.

 Why is it considered a flip?
  • 2 0
 Watch the rider. You end up doing a complete backflip rotation.
  • 8 0
 is this a serious question?

 I understand he is going upside down, and doing basically the same movement off a jump is a backflip. But in this case he is following the terrain and then going into the air, then landing on the landing slope just like in a regular jump, but whilst in the air, from the riders perspective there is a rotation with the nose coming up but nothing more than that. Whilst in the air there is no flip. I'm not saying that what they are doing is not amazing, it's clearly incredible, just that I don't get why it's called a flip.

 @dicky1080: It's very impressive but my first thought was it's just a flip. with their skill sets i was surprised that it was such a big deal for them,
