backflip

[westy465]

can anyone on here backflip their 50? and if you got pics can you post pics of the jumps you did it on?

i have built a dirt jump in my back yard and flipping is what I am aiming for. just need some confidence that the jump will be big enough.

cheers

just lean back & hold your balls, & its best to have the flip down on a BMX in a pit or water first..

even if you practice doing normal flips on the tramp it will help

its best to flip your bmx bike off it first to get the feel of it and then try it!

its actually easyier to flip a 50 than it is to flip a BMX. the 50 basicaly flips it self once you pull back, just a lot more dangerous if you stuff up

really? sweat!
would it be nearly the same on my 125?
we might be getting a fiddy soon so im soo gonna try and flip it!

50/110/125/140/155/160 all classed as 50's in my book

dont go busting yourself just to land a backflip mate, it's not as easy as the video's make it out to be. throw up a pic of this jump your planing on flipping.

 

[westy465]

will get a pic tonight.
backflipping is not the height of, neither will it be then end of my moto experience. I have ridden bmx park/dirt, raced dowhill mtb, raced MX and arena cross, even dabbled in FMX. If I go out to backflip it will be with educated experience, not just a redneck with a belly full of jim beam. I know my limits, physical and mental, and over the nearly 20yrs I have been on two wheels, its always when the mental side isnt working properly that you hurt yourself.

I reckon that getting upside down is a massive mental hurdle, more than phyiscal, more than bike capacity. dont get me wrong, I imagine there to be a significant amout of skill involved. you gotta commit 100%, weather its flipping, cornering 4th gear on the wood or jumping 100+ feet. if your not commited, expect to hurt yourself.

Might be worth investing in some adult gymnastics classes

hey mate just my two cents,we built a pitty ramp into a pit a while back and lernt on the pushys first took about 5-10 goes to get them nailed and was really hard to get full rotation on our ramp but on a crf50 it was way way easier, first time every time
