Shit that last attemp was gnarly... got pretty ko'd.

[BeNny_Boyy]

Last one = pwned.

Could be worse though.

[LIAM?!]

He isnt pulling back enough, he really just has to rip the bike right back and push through with his feet. Atleast that what I got told to do.

[MATT_82]

The old bike seems to be taking a beating there, i have been told to look back as far as you can and try to spot the landing

[4130]

your using "bebo", thats your problem........

[skeeterzx200]

Thats pretty close thought. Maby try digging out the landing area so its lower and pill it with grass.

That wont help, not every jumps is designed that way, so you dont want to learn like that, try a foam pit and not that horrible excuse for one.

[Stack Shack]

nice try. some of those look harsh:eek:

[buddo]

he's getting pretty close, hes got balls thats for sure.. but yeh, it looks like hes not ripping it out enough, hes flowing off the lip and its not coming around fast enough.

hope he gets it soon.

cheers

Needs more rotation off the lip, he's just spinning way too slow and unless you really know whats going on, its near on impossible to fix.

[whatsername223]

watch the new vid

[Callan.]

Good on him!

[RevellBikes]

some of those crashes looks like they would of hurt!..alot!

good on him for stickin one!

[Matt H]

haha, he got pretty close to landing some bike flips though :eek:

Good on him for landing it. Looks like a good jump to practice shit on.

[runtishpaladin]

Damn that last stack looked mega gnarly!:eek: Did he land with his balls on the stem??:eek:

[Leeroy26]

Wicked effort mate ! Kids got commitment. Good to see he finally pulled it !!!

[sawtell]

your a pussy.. just commit for completion

[mike249cc]

thats sweet where are those jumps
\

[bowzaa]

Mad he got it, but it looks like you just dug the landing down so it wasnt as hard to get round?

[mayo]

very very nice get a video of when he nails it or when he gets full smoked:p

[moosegoose]

haha that last attempt was funy as. he did a few super flips and weird ass body varials at the start lol.

i cant flip but I think if he kept trying like all the way until he lands to go further he will make it. like try to go for double kind of. it looks as though hes spinning real fast off the lip then straightening out and slowing down before he lands.

good work though hes getting close.

[moosegoose]

shit didnt realize it was the same person that landed it. congrats good work.

[bugsy07]

shit, that was some nice jumping , but he got a bit wasted on that last attempt

[Derka Derka]

first full credit for having the balls!! That last slack endo thing fkn'a gotta hurt.

I am thinking that doing a back somie on a bike is not like a back somie on the ground and is more like a gainer? (which is a back somie that you do when you are running forward but doing the somie backwards). If that is the case then the way you do that is..
get the upward momentum (if you dont have the height you will bang ya head!)
push through with your hips
tuck (ie tightern your stomach muscles to whip your lower body around)

Still having said that I can do a gainer on the ground but aint fkn stupid enough to try it on a bike.....if you are that stupid then =You da man!!!

[harmo]

;that guy has balls haha i think is all he needs to do is a little bit more speed and make the jump he was coming off have a little more lip to it;)
