Is that your bike, or did it belong to the guy who owned the airbag? I only ask cos I had a go on an airbag a while back and the guy who owned it lent me his bike as I showed up on my roady. It looked pretty much exactly like the bike in the photo. If it is, then that bike has seen many a failed backflip attempt, lol.

Bike was (until recently) my own, the air bag belongs to Aberdeen ski slope I think

Oh, fair enough. Oddly the guy did say something about being based in Scotland.

i know this is an accident, but is there a real trick like that where you hold on with your feet on the bars... if so that would be the sickest trick ever!

jamieridesbikes (Feb 3, 2014 at 10:35)

What do you mean, this was completely planned out

c4mtb (Feb 3, 2014 at 11:01)

ahahaha no doubt

back flip cliff hanger?

Scotj009 (Feb 16, 2014 at 8:48)

the trick alone where you grab the bars with your feet is called a cliff hanger

mikrino97 (Feb 3, 2014 at 11:58)

how do you even get in that position...

jamieridesbikes (Feb 3, 2014 at 12:01)

Step one: attempt backflip
Step two: fail

Philitup (Feb 3, 2014 at 14:56)

that's a really awesome shot, though. At least you have the guts to attempt a backflip.

jamieridesbikes (Feb 3, 2014 at 15:07)

Onto an airbag, It gives you so much confidence

jamieridesbikes (Feb 3, 2014 at 15:14)

There's no way I'd try one to dirt

Philitup (Feb 3, 2014 at 16:19)

Heck it would take me a while to convince myself to do it onto a bag or into a foam pit Haha. I've never tried any big tricks in the air

henry-turner (May 9, 2014 at 11:12)

i have a picture of me doing the exact same haha!

jamieridesbikes (May 9, 2014 at 11:13)

:L onto an airbag/foam pit?

henry-turner (May 9, 2014 at 12:08)

Airbag :p

henry-turner (May 9, 2014 at 12:14)

From 2011, I'll upload it

henry-turner (May 9, 2014 at 12:16)

Yours is far better, uploaded it though

jamieridesbikes (May 9, 2014 at 12:18)

nice :L I wish I had my own personal airbag, or a foam pit. Do you know of any outside of Glasgow?

henry-turner (May 9, 2014 at 12:33)

Foam pits? Ek skatepark

jamieridesbikes (May 9, 2014 at 12:36)

yeah foam pits, can't find any in the east :s EK and unit are the only two I know of

henry-turner (May 9, 2014 at 13:09)

Only 2 I know of too, new transgression might soon
