Hey Hog! Techie question - I see Danny sometimes pedalling backwards. Is it a special type of freewheel that allows backward and forward motion?

Danny is ridiculously good!  Mad skill!

TiBones, well for BMX you get hubs with freewheels that can free backwards when you keep your legs still and will only engage once you pedal forward a quarter or half turn.  The pedaling backwards though...it's just momentum and he keeps pedaling backwards to keep rolling backwards, if he was to stop he would stop moving.  You can also by the speed at which you pedal backwards, basically reverse wheelie...your bike climbs in the air because you have momentum going one way and the pedal not moving back at the same speed.
