First ever double back flip - Jay Miron May 1997

[@keithkennedy9065]

jay miron and dave mirra 2 best riders of the 90s r.i.p. dave mirra

[@emersonsantos3828]

keith kennedy The best Mat Hoffmann.🤘🏼

[@Wretched2JZ]

keith kennedy agree my 2 fav

[@mekenken5292]

I agree but this was saf at the time rip Dave Mira

[@scottbradford4130]

Hoffman,McCoy,Mirra,Miron

[@udonenomee2117]

The Blue Falcon, the Doctor himself? Brian Friggin Foster? It’s weird, I would rather watch him ride a park and he does half the big tricks.

[@douglasgugel2752]

Jay miron was one of the best if not the best as far as I'm concerned !!!

[@TheBClark88]

This trick has always been a big one! 25 years later and it still doesn't get done that often in competition and in most generations of park riders there's rarely more than a dozen riders doing it consistently. Tailwhips have gone from singles and doubles to triples and quads, in combos, but double flips are still a ballsy trick.

[@tropicaldreams2661]

The shock and horror on the non extreme sports fans faces when he crashes lol. Priceless.

[@christhemany7275]

They don't know what a perfect crash landing is like oof.

[@zenofthemoment]

Or that it can be done intentionally to build the tension. 😆

[@81eagle]

I am so happy for Jay that he has continued personal growth in retirement and makes amazing custom furniture. Like high end pieces that are as rad as his riding ever was. You go Jay!

[@rollintuff]

Jay Miron is such a great person. Love you bro!! U always killed it on a bmx from your pal Al D. Never forget hangin at interbike in 2007 funny as hell!!

[@terrorrbabbletwo]

I remember watching this on TV. I was a little kid then... It's crazy to think Miron was pulling double flips on a 50lb bike with a full face helmet, full pads, and chest piece. Nowadays you rarely see full face helmets (except vert), elbow and knee pads, and bikes weighing more than 25 lbs!

[@lizblake1682]

I used to watch him in the late 80's when he started....I'm from his home town Thunder Bay..had a HUGE HUGE HUGE crush on him..back when he was on the Papa Piccalino's BMX team

[@BermudaCryptoGuy]

Is it true? Chicks dig bmx?

[@gsp1175]

Not only is it the very first, it's also one of the cleanest I've ever seen.

[@ThePantyDroper]

He still rides around vancouver. But he doesn't do much bmx anymore, believe it or not he's a downhill/trail rider. He rides a full suspension bike and rides the trails here in vancouver. I've met him many times, very cool and down to earth guy. Even though he owns a company and he's rich, he lives in a tiny little townhouse and drives an old toyota pickup.

[@kabuki9437]

Even if you’re rich, that’s about all you can afford in Vancouver!

[@GhibliFan1]

The man had the heart of a lion....one of the all time top five legends of BMX. He's 40/41 and retired now...but let us never forget what he gave us.

[@brianmclendon1647]

That’s why he is the Canadian beast, and to do it with so many people watching, just nuts!!!!!!! So much respect for this dude!!!!

[@PHILIPWATSON82]

WHEN I SAW JAY MIRRON DO A 540 double tail whip I was STOKED

[@brianmclendon1647]

The Canadian Beast does not fuck around, seriously a legend. That glitter paint job on his bike is fucking awesome as well!!!!

[@coldude2559]

God, watching this makes me feel old

[@ciarandavis4353]

The medical team look badass in that shot

[@fdxburn4761]

Im sat at a table with my dad, his friend and jay miron having dinner right now Legend

[@fatadam16]

hurt my toosh! omg take me back to the 90s forever

[@ThehulkGreen]

I rode from 91 to 2012, miron was always one of my favorite riders.

[@paulmc9314]

miron mccoy hoffman and mirra the legends that really pushed what could be done on a 20, :)

[@jordanpreexisting224]

Shaun Butler and a Garcia too….shout out to the S&M guys

[@thebipolarbear1]

John Ritter is the man. Good job Jay. You and Dave owned the nineties

[@birdmangarage]

watching this in 2021 - love Jay!

[@Sleestak-Inek]

jay is my hero.he did all the hard tricks.he was ahead of his time.forget all the other riders!!!sad that he does not ride anymore!!!best style ever!!!!

[@nickmartone2350]

RIP JOHN RITTER LOVE U MAN< SPread awareness of A ortic Anyuersm

[@dive4josvic]

he was one of the best bmx riders in bmx history

[@muska34]

Love the Canadian Beast! That 540 tailwhip would have won him the gold if it was scored on one run like it is now.

[@JosePerez-tz8tx]

jay miron nos enseño en este video que un tropezon no es caida y que siempre habra otra oportunidad para hacer las cosas mejor!!!

[@garyatilano8281]

That setup is gnarly.

[@bigmattatx764]

He failed the 1st attempt to build some suspense. Like "I'm fine" lol

[@DMkapfenberg]

This videos defines gravity for sure goes to my favorites videos!!

[@Cold4ged]

@shaundeverehunt Yes that is the late, great John Ritter, most known for comedic roles in 3's company and 8 simple rules. R.I.P. Jay Miron is my favorite rider to watch. Hoffman is/was the most important to the sport, but Jay was so smooth and burly. Fun clip.

[@Corey-wx8jj]

This is so funny. Jay was sticking that on every practice run off camera. Hollywood bullshit lol

[@72596oscar]

It’s called making normal people realize how dangerous it is

[@k-art-L]

Jay is so good, but the very first ever to done a double back flip was JOSE YANEZ in 84, also he was the very first to do back flip on a dirt bike and BMX!!

[@JoeDozer10]

*Jose's double back flip was in to water. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGPWamulhbekesU If there is any footage out there of an earlier 2x back flip landing to a ramp or dirt than Jay's, please share. Meanwhile, it's incredible how ahead of his time Jose was with the back flip(s). Nobody followed it for a decade!

[@bib668]

One of my favourite riders.

[@Mittenmade85]

I seen this on tv in 97 I'm getting old 🤣

[@crusherbmx]

Jay got to meet Jack Tripper! Sweet!

[@EdgarImpact]

@phallictractor I see. . . you have a point. It took someone else to do it somewhere for it to be inspired in another place (bike to motorbike). However, whether it's done on a snowmobile, motorbike, or bike it does not make it any less impressive. Evolution is a good way to put it.

[@polloloci21]

The Canadian Beast!! He is making fancy furniture now.

[@woozybmx]

yaaaaa

[@fauphoff]

Two bad ass Canadians right there!!

[@Supermusicisloveable]

@xRipzo I am from Thunder Bay too. Yeah to Jay from Thunder Bay!!!!

[@Metemi]

Why am I watching John Ritter right now? That's just insane. lol

[@sjf1981]

You can here John povah in the background yelling "stick it" Teamwork baby

[@Ieysop]

Not a student of history I see? Time to hit the BMX archives, son!! :)

[@FMXTROYENS]

Baam a l'ancienne ! Que c'était bon cette époque 🤘

[@digiprez77]

Jay is the man...

[@nelsano3]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND

[@xpndblhero5170]

This was right around when Miron and Mirra were practicing doubles in there own private place or something... I think it took Mirra a while to get his first.

[@WilsonCruzJr]

A TRUE LEGEND !!

[@bakabakashiineko]

As soon as I saw him go down the ramp first time, I immediately said, "Nope, not gonna make it."

[@DiscreteCircuitry]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[@LoneWolfed]

Jack Tripper use to flip over the couch. R.i.p John Ritter. Jay come back to bmx and save us. The orca lounger will still be there.

[@djSpinege]

4 pegs, 30 pound bike. what a G

[@bringtheseo]

[@jacobstyles1484]
