penedrosrider (Mar 20, 2012 at 16:56)

ya sick, is there a name for this trick?

Laue (Mar 20, 2012 at 17:02)

yes it is, flip cordova.

DirtRebel (Mar 20, 2012 at 17:03)

flip cordova! FMX influences gogogo!

DirtRebel (Mar 20, 2012 at 17:06)

Christoph was faster

penedrosrider (Mar 20, 2012 at 17:24)

thank you, I rarely see fmx.
so i did a quick search and i think the right term is backflip cordova.
"FMX rider Adam Jones was the first rider to ever successfully land a back flip Cordova in February of 2006"

WellDone (Mar 20, 2012 at 23:57)
