Default Backflip? Bitch please...

Front flip 360's are where it's at...

His perspective is hilarious... "When I'm on the bike, it feels like a dead-straight frontflip, but when I look at the footage..."

Accidental tricks FTW.

Pretty sick.

On a 4 stroke too.

I though the free-style guys were all still riding 2 smokes.

This makes it extra impressive to me.

Not because they're using upgraded bike technology, but because the 450 weighs 30lbs more.

They're slowing gravitating toward 4 stroke, but I think the guys who are using 4s have generally grown up around them more often as opposed to the early days when there were only 2 strokes.

Yeah... so I'm pretty sure given the current evolution of freestyle MX, in 10 years the new trick is going to be to do a spinning front flip while shooting yourself in the face with a shotgun... and landing it.
