What, you can't do that?
In this case, the word "almost" must be appropriate....
my friend is doing them on a bullit now
He must have been spinning pretty fast cause he's so low. Craziness.

I dunno, I wont have my RMX until tonight
i do back flips all the time with my Rocky Mountain. I wish
Pretty close call, but still impressive!
if you got rid of the last 3 shots of the rider in the sequence, you'd have a pretty hilarious, though painful, picture.
Yeah, that would be pretty funny.
How many of you have ever attempted a backflip? (Not me!)

Why the rolleyes? they seem like some pretty talented riders!
its josh bender.... i have a poster of it in my room. Also john cowen does a ton of flips on his stinky in ride the lightningrideagainst said:
correction, not josh bender, but he's done it and i have a poster of it.
It looks like in that RM pic that there is a dj in front of the one hes doing it on, so it looks like hes really low, but theres just another jump in front of it
I give a lot of credit to them for guts. But backflips are not that hard... I have ridden with a few kids that could do them, but could barely ride otherwise.
All that I am saying, is that in my experience someone who can backflip is not always an amazing rider. Than again I appreciate a flat table or a smooth manual way more than most of the spin as fast as you can, or flail your limbs as fast as you can type tricks.
Just my opinion/observation, it is still very cool.

I'm not super impressed by them anymore. Nathen Rennie does on in NWD 5 and is even closer to the ground.
Sweet picture dude! 
Wow he went huge.

and i also have the post of bender, and my bud got one autographed at interbike. he asked him how he got the balls to do the big drops. he said something to the effect that nobody was giving him a bike.
Backflips are easier to do than alot of tricks say like a 360. I've pulled them off into foam, haven't brought myself to try it any other place. Maybe someday i'll try it on the resi-floor before i get to old to survive a mess up.
Hell they taught that girl on MADE how to do one.

dfinn said:did he have to stop to re-attach the thrust link after he landed?
:nuts:
If it was a 360 he would've been picking up the peices of said link/swingarm

Whats with all the Hate on the Thrustlink?
With a name like that...
"duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem".
I should tone it down a bit, it's easy for tongue in cheek throwaway comments to create all sorts of internet hysteria, sorry about that.
