Heh, very cool, that's what you get for hanging around TP. I see his comment there - "I was sooo scared"!  I'll bet.

I'm no freestyle fan but I gotta say doing a backflip must take some balls. Then again, you watch Nitro Circus and they are all backflipping anything at all. Pretty amazing when you think a decade ago no-one thought it possible.

Can't wait to see how the MXoN goes.

by the look he may have landed a bit flat ie not enough forward momentum.  but looked like he got the basics ie bike orientation fairly level, stayed on the bike etc.  wouldn't have been a big injury risk in that fluffy pile of organic whatever, and his minders wouldn't have let him do it on a hard dirt surface.  but cred anyway...wouldn't catch me trying it.  and he would have earned himself some new fans too - respect!

Remember when doing a cross up was pretty trick.

If I didn't own an It490 and a CR500,I wouldn't be able to pull a wheelie,full stop.Never mind a cross up.
Just can't get the dynamics right on my older,smaller DTs.
