This is two weeks old but I just came across it today. It’s been branded as the “world’s first natural terrain backflip” so before I hit play, I was expecting to see an MTB dude out and about, trying to find the perfect rock or hill to huck a double flip off of. I thought that premise was pretty rad. After hitting play and seeing a huge man made lip I was a little bummed. I mean, shit. Obviously any double backflip is amazing, this is no fault of the rider so don’t think I’m talking down on him or his accomplishment at all. Props to him for getting up after that fall and pulling it. It’s just a little disrespectful to dudes like Stephen Murray, Cory Nastazio, Hucker, or any other BMX rider who has pulled double flips on dirt years ago, to make it sound like this is unprecedented. Hucker pulled one mid-set at the 2007 Red Bull Elevation event. That one seemed just as natural in terms of terrain, the jumps were built on a mountain (albeit with a landing). Maybe I’m just splitting hairs but I don’t like seeing other types of bikes getting recognition for things that BMX bikes did first. What do you think?
