Mongooser Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 is really that difficult to learn back-flips?i've watched these vids they didn't get hurt and it looks very simpleim pretty experienced with flips on trampolines so will it help?
nonky Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 that's a LOT of wipeouts... I've seen videos of guys practicing flips on a trampoline with their bikes - maybe worth a try?

Vetseun Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 A big dutchman hit me once. I did a backflip.

Mongooser Posted December 21, 2016 Author Posted December 21, 2016 I do them in the pool.........har har
Wolfie1 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Foam pit or trampoline will be your best bet. Start off with doing this first and then use a frame and try it on a trampoline and then one day have a bowl of courage in the morning and then commit hahaha
Headshot Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 I'd also like to try - but a fronty feels more natural to me because I do them into the pool. A foam pit would be the answer but don't know of any in Cape Town.
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 My bike can do a flip... But I'm not on it when it happens...
GrahamS2 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 that's a LOT of wipeouts... I've seen videos of guys practicing flips on a trampoline with their bikes - maybe worth a try?I'm gonna have to say bad idea. But then I've landed on top of a BMX on a trampoline before (while trying to learn to flip).
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 There won't be much left of the trampoline, and can you imagine missing the'bounce' surface...
Mongooser Posted December 21, 2016 Author Posted December 21, 2016 OH BOY,this looks like a bad ideai might use a jump bike instead of my freeride bike
GrahamS2 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 OH BOY,this looks like a bad ideai might use a jump bike instead of my freeride bikeYeah, and foam pit or nothing to learn.
Tumbleweed Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 A big dutchman hit me once. I did a backflip. Ja, that crap about "the bigger they are, the harder they fall..." It's more like: "the bigger they are, the further you fly..." Done a couple of semi-flips into pools on a BMX. But I was drinking a lot back then. Much braver.
