 obvious--professional and zzoot you guys are retarded its obviously a back flip, i dont think anybody on this planet has enough skill yet to frontflip a drop like that considering people have just started back flipping drops in the past couple years. Sweet pic though, really epic and well deserved POD

 he is doing a front flip look he is leaning forward not hauling back on the bars i thought it was a backflip till i looked close its massive either way but it is a frontflip
  • 21
 Sweet POD and I think its pretty obvious that every one is taking obvious--professional far to seriously .. at least i hope hes joking
  • 31
 its obviously a backflip. to get yourself to continue the backflip you need to loook back. and who the fuck would frontflip that. only if they had a deathwish.....
  • 11
 kool
  • 34
 obvious--professional your telling us to get the facts right... i think your the one that needs to get there facts right. read the description is says "backflip drop" and if it were a step up he would need to fakie into it. i think you should not leave stupid comments cause all your doing is embarrassing yourself.

 OMG CANT SOME ONE TELL ME WHO this stupid Obvious-professional is?!?!

hes driving me crazy!!!!
  • 30
 Everyone who thinks this is a front flip....u fail at life and do not deserve to grace this wonderful sport with ur presence, even if ur kidding...ITS NOT FUNNY
  • 11
 Shut up obvious-only-pro. Go do something productive.
  • 11
 okay we all know that obvious-douchebag is just kidding but its freakin annoying
  • 30
 the-only-pro u both live in the states so just go shoot him
  • 11
 once and for all just look at his f*cking helmet. hes lookin up towards the landing. he would only do that if it was a backflip. damn you guys are stupid~!
  • 10
 oh and crazy monkey...amen...
  • 10
 Rode the Kamloops bike ranch today and came across this....you can tell what it was but its all torn down now. Shit is insane!!!
  • 32
 k first of all.... its not a front flip, after a valuable 10 seconds of my life i finally realized that, i just said it was, cuz it looked like a fronto on first site. SECOND! obvious--professional FUCK! change your user name cuz its making me sick, and grow a fucking extra ball, cuz with all your bitch'n, its pissing me off. THIRD..............this movie's gonna be super sick cant wait to get my hands on it.
  • 10
 Hes just enjoying screwing with you, also anyone who thinks this is a front flip needs a good backhand to the face
  • 01
 clearly its a backflip he would land backward if it was a frontie
  • 93
 People, PLEASE stop arguing with obvious-professional!

This guy is clearly an idiot, and just looking to antagonize anyone he can.

Just let him put up his comment, and then pay NO attention to it.

We should all be showing some love for the POD; unless it's truly garbage.

RESPECT to the rider!! Regardless of which way he's flipping.
*****For the record, any true rider that's hit jumps in his life knows this... YOUR BODY FOLLOWS YOUR HEAD! You can't 360 if you don't look over your shoulder, and you can't flip unless you pull/push your head. Also, you can NOT spin in the opposite way your heads turned. It stops the rotation.
Lastly, unless you are use the "force", or are totally in tune with nature. You need to "spot" your landing (Look where you're going)and as you can see from the pic above; he's doing just that. His head is arched back (i.e. BACKFLIP)and he's "spotting" the landing he's coming into. If this were a front flip, his head would be leaned forward.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Smile

 The most intelligent comments I have read in a long time on this site.

 I wouldn't call him the idiot, maybe immensely sarcastic at best, everyone is so serious on this site. Maybe if people had a sense of humor and didn't always want to impress everyone else. No one seems to have ever been a noob and everyone seems to be a pro at photography, filming, riding. That is the internet so get used to it. Thanks for the lessons on how to flip and spin, you know they say if you can't do then teach right....
  • 02
 But it just so anoying how obvoise pro does that. And no one is implieng that that they are a pro at photography, no offence but i dont no where u got that from
  • 02
 Obviously your naive, its right in front of you everyday on here.
  • 01
 Whats more annoying is kids like you, that don't take the time to use the English language properly...
  • 02
 wat u cnt reed it haha sory
  • 01
 Oh by the way enduro06, wats right in front of me?
  • 01
 You don't need to look over your shoulder to do a 360, just when you are learning to do one. Once you figure it out you just need the balls not to look. That said, it'd be pretty hard not to look on a flip....which this obviously is.
  • 11
 Thank you Duxes, i agree 100%. ignore the jerk and others with negative attitudes. Don't need on the trail, don't need it here. also, love the POD.. i'm envious.
  • 21
 Hey Crankenstein! I hope all is well. Smile

Just wanted to say Thanks for the comment regarding my post.

I really don't understand why some of these guys feel the need to go at each other. We're all riders; regardless of skill.
We have a common bond in our love for 2 wheel self propelled fun, so I just don't understand why there is all this negativity on the site.

*I guess the anonymity of the computer makes a lot of these guys feel real tough. SAD!

Have a Happy Holidays & stay positive!! Big Grin
  • 01
 thnx 4 mentioning the thing about anonymity, its so true. Mega props dude.
  • 11
 shut the fuck up PLZ

 hey i got nuthin bttr 2 do, im tired and bored.
  • 10
 are you saying theres something wrong with gay people? if you are, then your a close minded twat.
  • 10
 You dont HAVE to look doing 3s, it just helps to spot the landing properly, if youre not looking its gunna be pretty shit. and flips you dont have to look either. its just the pull/ leaning back but not looking does make it way more dangerous
  • 10
 AMAZING!!! and to obvious-professional and any of you others that think this is a frontflip...you are all RETARDED and you should probably cut yourselfs or something its a BACKFLIP, he's just positioned wierd on his bike, if it was a frontflip his head would be by his front tire. He's looking back...hence its a backflip...
  • 00
 holy crap!!! thats amazing!!! Totaly deserves POD. Massive trick, over a massive drop, well taken. nice work! Smile

(oh, and anyone reading this, have a look down the comments at all the arguements started by someone called obvious-professional, i think he's done it to a couple of POD's now. Its freakin hilarious)
  • 00
 anyone who says its a front flip is a total moron, when you flip, you look the way you're flipping... when you front flip you look down, when you back flip you look up. and why would you say its a front flip when the description says back flip drop anyway....? and to the idiot that thinks its a step up front flip, he would have had to come off the lip back wards to be facing the way he is or have done a 180 then started his flip which is impossible so...

 reading some of the negative comments, I start thinging some of those guys must be RETARDED...Great trick, great photo...respect for bravery of the rider!

 theres a lip, that means its a step down...
a drop is a flat take off, no lip
how the f*ck is it a drop then?
  • 10
 thank u no one knows the diffrence between drops and step downs
  • 00
 POD, he cant be front flipping up it, look at the takeoff, see the dirt from where he has come off the jump? Thats An Epic POD anyways, PropzZ.

 yes i No that, but if he was doing a backflip hed be facing the other way.
