Yep. And the first to pull off a double backflip on an MX bike (at least in a competition).

Hes a really cool down to earth guy and the movie should be worth it.
Claims to fame, first 360, first double backflip, jumped into the grand canyon, jumped into the SF bay, looks like a guy going out for a jog in the pits.

I don't understand how someone can do a double back flip on a motorbike. Seems against the laws of physics.

Whoa that is pretty crazy especially on a quad. A couple of years ago at the X-Games, for one of his runs he was going to do a backflip with Ryan Scheckler on his handlebars, but I heard Ryan's mom got wind of it and nixed it. I can understand why.

I don't either. It looks completely insane.

[Schecky]

We were there - pretty darn amazing.
A quiet, calm arena just went insane. My little one was scared at first.
At the 0:36 mark there is a white shirt being swung around in a circle - that'd be me.
