After I've watched your video, I tried it with my downhill bike in an airbag. Your tips helped me a lot! It's such an amazing feeling when you are upside-down in the air. A video with all my attempts will follow. What I've experienced: - NEVER let your bike go! - First attempt: landing wilful on my back and don't let my bike go, to get over the fear about "crashing" and get used to the backward rotation. - Following attempts: landed on my head a few times, but nothing happend to me and neither to my riding buddies. - Main problem was: I've worked against the lip and didn't look back -> so I killed the flip - 2 weeks later, other airbag and other jump with a steeper takeoff, I've managed to land my first backflip onto both wheels after 10-13 attempts. - Main injuries: A few scratches and a ripped-off ass, because I manualed to much on the takeoff, so that my ass hit the tire ^^

Thanks, very good tutorial, I have the exact same problem of not getting any distance on the flip, I've cased the take off lip on occasions, other tutorials are not really that informative, your tutorial has better explained the physics of what's going on and how to correct the problem - nice 1 :-)

Already have done a few flips to dirt, but a few days ago I had the most painful crash I’ve ever experienced trying to flip. After watching this I feel confident(dumb) enough to try to flip again. Thanks bro🤘

I was always scared to flip because I have a downhill bike and. i have mad respect for the guys riding rampage and fest series because they can flip a downhill bike with a big gap. People always told me it's gonna be really hard to flip a downhill bike and I didn't know if it was true or not, although its just me and my bud we are teenagers still in highschool that just ride downhill bikes in the midwest where downhill isn't really a thing but we got some decent dirt jumps for them

As an old ass man that is going to learn to backflip, this is by far one of the best explanations of how to do it.

Make sure you look for the landing when your upside down, where you eyes are is where you will be.

Thanks heaps! I sent my first flips to dirt after watching this but unfortunately I'm still struggling to clear the double like you've mentioned. I've 50/50 or frame cased at least 12-13 times and only rode out of one. I tried bending my knees to try and flip later but I can't help but pull back and spin so fast! I was told to drive through with my hips more but I've yet to try it.

hey Nic I have a question. whenever I flip I nose case the takeoff pretty much every time. I try to wait till my front wheel is off the lip but it still isnt working.

Great tutorial! Awesome breakdown! If you teach a class, I would love to attend. But you did such a great job explaining, think all I need now is a foam pit. Thank you!

Love the tips! I've done quite a few into waterand they come easy just never have worked up the guts to do it on land! Been away from biking for a few years now but would love to get back into it and would love to flip. Pretty much just love flipping any and everything

I could flip in the foampit 4 years ago when i was 12 when i was riding bmx for a few months. Now i have started riding again and i have a verry little ramp with a sortof rezi landing. Is this a good idea?

Bro, i try to flip once before on a foampit and i underrotated. So my bike fell on my leg. That hurt so much. And now i live in other city. So there is a friend that has a rezi on his house. ¿Any advice to try it directly on the rezi?

Do you think it's a bad idea just to send it for the first time on a dirt jump?
@NicHilton5 жыл бұрын
it all depends on your confidence. I personally tried it on a dirt jump before anything else. But for others, I would say its safer and smarter to do into something safer, however with proper knowledge and confidence its not a bad idea. Just trust you an do it

how do you feel about learning a flip on an airbag? I have no idea how bad it is to land on your head on a bagjump
@NicHilton6 жыл бұрын
An airbag is great for learning to flip! I honestly don't think you will land upside down. Worst case would be on your shoulders and you'll be fine in the bag
