backflip

[westy465]

Hey brad, do you reckon because there is more weight rotating? would make sence. have you moved onto fliping to dirt?

 

[brad199]

yeah for sure the extra weight helps to make a full rotation,as on the pushy we all landed on our heads heaps of times,id suggest not trying a pushy as its alot different just go for it dude..

 

[brad199]

on the 50 we tended to over rotate untill we figured how hard to pull as the crf's are so small and comes around alot faster that a pushy just hold on,my natural instinct was too let go and if you let go before doing a full flip you will get hurt alot more that letting go after the flip bcause the bike will get you from behind or above...not good

as iv hurd doing backflips on pushy teaches you to artch your back u dont want to do that on moto . 1 of the hardest parts is commiting iv tries it on bmx and **** into my mates friends pit and i neva got 1 round all the way .even the foam hurts so dont think its going to be soft lol.

this is the jump. not finished but. the lip still needs to be shaped. after i built up the dirt and watered it in we had some rain so its pretty sloppy. its about 2.3 metres gap. 1.5 metres high. I am building it the same way i used to build bmx jumps, because i dont have a bobcat. i have jump bigger bmx jumps and have had my 50 over 30ft, so I am pretty comfortable with hitting this. if we get some sun I might be able to hit it on sunday.

yeh man, im unfortunately reppin the asbestos fence. I want to get it replaced, but you need shire approval, and your neighbours approval, and if you want them to help pay for it, they need approval, and at the end of it, such a head F&&K. me and the guy next door had a drunken plan to make a jump over the fence. watch this space, it still may happen. haha
