WTF, Double backflips on a MOTO?

[DISCO]

It's been a decade since Mirra made headlines with one in BMX but this is getting ridiculous.

I may be dating myself, but I remember the days when taking one hand off the bars and waving to the crowd was insane.

"To be clear, until last week the move had only been pulled in Big Trick competitions, like the X-games, but not in freestyle competition, where riders perform multiple moves on a timed run. What's more, Sinclair pulled the move in consecutive rounds "

I had to google that one...I've seen the attempt, but never a full front flip.....til just now.

That wobbly front flip is f'ing nuts off the screw.

[Fewinhibitions]

That front flips is a pretty cool trick.

But I would be more impressed if they could do it without the twisting.

They've been doing backflips on jet skis in the surf for years.

[Beegard]

Wonder how long it will take them to do triple backflips

under rotating into water is no problemo. That being said, my ankles wouldn't want to try it on a jetski.

yeah look up jim dechamp on youtube, he did the frontflip "without the twisting" and in my opinion it looks much better. He's from nitro cirus but hes mostly a mountain biker sponsored by Giant haha

You're in good company.

Yep, there was a time when FMX didn't exist at all.

[Geronimo]

this is what my yahoo page has to say about it " Cam Sinclair takes motocross to a new level with a daring trick that had never been done." Now this is on their leader page. I don't care whats underneath, that's fragernackel bullsh!t.
I'm not sure how to respond to that. Our 1st amendment rights can be interpreted many ways, but there really should be more acountability for just making up BS.

It was waay smaller though. These two brothers are on to something. I still can't figure out how any of them are getting the rotation started other than slamming the front brake. Jim has his body over the forks those other dudes don't

The metal mulisha trains a block from my house. I have watched many sick antics.

I've done a backflip on a jetski (Oceanside at the pink houses) and under rotating into water hurts like HELL.....smashed my ribs into the steer column....you are right though about the ankles....it's not a soft landing by any means....
