I remember when they were trying for the first MX backflip. They said, once the guy does that, it's gonna open a whole new world of tricks. Now they're onto doubles.

(Imagine the run up; Right! I'm gonna do a double backflip, fk this up and i'll either be dead or in pain for months

)

Think that is impressive, you should see the old snowboarding star, Jim Rippey's backflip on a skidoo (sp?).

Yeh they do a kind of 360 loop, its not a complete 360 thou

The dbl flip was amazing.

But some guy was doing a cliff hanger backflip :O Which looks completely insane.

Saying he failed is out of order IMO. Considering this was his first season in something with more than two wheels. he did alright.

Besides Colin McRae seems to think he's got talent, and I suspect he's a better judge of this sort of thing than you

I remember them saying about that too, saying "as soon as he's able to pull one off in a competition, it's gonna take it to another level". Didn't take long to double it up.

Wander if they could do a front flip on a MX? lOOks pretty mad on a BMX.
