I don't think they'll post it up because they're working for a magazine...

Does anyone remember the guy in the KoolAide suit doing the backflip at Diabloween 05? There were some pics floating around. Now that was sick. I think it may have been G.R.

Perfect!

...at least he got more height on that one compared to the one he pulled at Diabloween... THAT was pretty scary to watch. The visor on his helmet was like 2 feet off the deck when he went inverted off the lip.:shocked:

That guy who did it in '05 wasn't me (just making sure people know in case). And just to throw it out there in case you might have been wondering I'm 16, and I do not work for a magazine... but some other guy from something like Phillymtv.com got it from a different angle.... alright I need to go work on my english paper.

in 05 when I did it, it was actually the top of my costume that looked like it was really low and almost hit the jump. My head was definitely not close to clipping the jump.

Good job with the flip though, it looked super smooth. Smoother that I did it.

O.K. - I was wrong then.

Damn dude - you really got that sh!t wired. Have you been practicing in the pit at Woody?

Overall I would have to say:

Style: 9.0
Execution: 9.95
Artistry: 9.2
Dis-mount: 9.95

:)

... I'm reserving judgment until I see how you do on the Pommel Horse, so for now I'm keeping the 9.0 for Style.

The judges from North Korea gave you a "7", but they're d!cks anyway.

:biggrin:
Damn commies!!


haha thanks (directed at george aswell)
Yeah I visited Woodward a few summers ago, the foam pit helped a little. But most of the tweaks I made in my execution were done on fly boxes. Until last weekend I had yet to try a backflip on another bike besides a 20'' bmx bike. I thought my first flip on a MTB was actually better, even though it felt like I wasn't going to make it. The second flip (the one filmed) seemed to me like I over rotated, but the suspension hides it.

I'll probably throw one or two durring the US Open so you can see do it in person.

I'm not familiar with this place you speak of... what exactly is it?

A bike shop with a killer set up inside its garage. 6 foot quarter, 12 foot quarter, curved wall rides and all sorts of weird things you can transfer to. All in all its crazy, and its right by the meredith park which is off the hook too.

Heres a video i shot of a session with the guy who runs it (ludwick) and A Chase.
