It's (relatively) easy to do a backflip: pop a wheelie far back enough while going airborne, and it's done.

Doing a front flip? That takes skill.

Doing a front flip while doing a 360? That requires 4-weeks of practice...

piece a cake

 

Evel Knievel never managed to do that? There was almost nothing with a bike he couldn't do.

 

The guy has a big pair I'll say that. Props to him

 

The guy has a huge pair or just does not care about his life or body all that much. One mistake doing something like that could spell death, being in a wheel chair for the rest of his life, or some other serious life altering injury.

Congrats on doing that flip and landing it. Not something even most trick riders would want to attempt.

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

 

It's been done before, unfortunately the riders are now dead.

 

crazy looking jump!

 

It would have been crazier if he did it straight instead of going sideways.

 

That's the cool thing about this.

A front flip is "easy". But adding the 360 spin is spectacular!

The first front flip was done about two years ago...

Or with a lot of pins holding their bones together.

 

No kidding, it's the practice that hurts.

 

Apparently not many in this thread watch the X games or Mountain Dew Tour. There are some ridiculous things that they're doing on bikes or even sleds nowadays. What goes through their heads, to even think some of these stunts are a good idea, is what amuses me.

That being said, this trick is something unique and special.
