Learning to backflip my MTB

[@skywerke3]

One of Seth's last videos, "i need to start dialing it back, I'm getting old" - proceeds with backflip training.....LOVE IT

[@nielsrooiman772]

The back flip try on his airbag

[@Maalarihakala]

Almost got tears to my eyes when that little kid ran to his mom after that backflip. Also great and inspiring video as usual.

[@tbird-3]

Lauri Hakala same, I felt the struggle melt off in 1 second for him

[@shredbox6801]

I don’t think the owner of the vid knows because he’s my irl friend

[@shredbox6801]

I mean the little kid

[@oscarnewnham587]

Lauri Hakala my bike is the one he’s riding in that clip 🤣🤣😂😂 I’m not joking his names jake

[@chazgerdus8921]

Shredbox wow ur cool

[@The_Sampler]

Lately Seth has been straight up bloodthirsty. Something about spending time in Whistler.... he just came back wanting to send only the biggest baddest stuff he can find... and man he's following through; that was gnarly!!!

[@howtobike9004]

He’s like a dare devil.

[@Metal-Possum]

I followed through with a fart once, I'd consider that quite gnarly too.

[@robbchastain3036]

Seth is showing up with his hard hat and lunch box.

[@ηια-ψ1ρ]

Thank's alex

[@ianholmquist8492]

I would hope he's stoked and bloodthirsty. You folks get paid to wreck gear and shred awesome places all over the country. He'd better be sending it every second. And so should you, sampler boy. Sounds like a real tough job.

[@owenclowney4484]

When I broke my arm they had to do surgery and they had to move one of the nerve and my hand felt tingly for like 2 months so you are probably fine.

Backflips are awesome, but totally on my list of things I can die without having conquered! Awesome job

Thanks for getting those shots! I think we had some surplus for use in other videos as well

Yeah u are right i will go with simple jumps bat hunger 4 backflips naa not happening

[@petertheis1695]

Phil helping out Seth, this is one of the best video's I have seen. Phil genuinely wants people to get better, thanks for sharing you progression Seth. I can't wait to see you pull this on a trail in the Spring.

[@fishtacos2320]

Until I started watching your channel I wouldn't have considered a Diamondback as a viable option for me. I'm excited to say that a box showed up at my house today with an affordable full suspension bike inside. Thanks for all the tips and great videos!

[@MaggotDiggo1]

Any updates on the Diamondback bike? What do you think of it after 2 years?

[@pavethepeaks]

@@MaggotDiggo1 I have a Diamond back Mason for about 4 years and the only issue I've had is the bearings in the hub keep falling out and the Suntour fork is trash. I upgraded the wheels and shock and it rides great now

[@nenadonatella3036]

Sometimes I ask myself "how much better are these guys on KZbin than I am". About 6 weeks ago I went to Highland for the first time (my second time @ a park). I saw those big features you did there (Pinkbike drop and the big wooden burm thingy with gaps on either side). I now realize you're MUCH MUCH better. Insanely better.

[@neethababu9767]

its so lovely that phil jumped into the foampit to rescue seth. 4:08

[@PinaEverlue]

Every time i watch your videos I feel great, so glad i can support this channel through Patreon. Thank you Seth for making my day continuously and it was a lot of fun seeing you in Duluth.

[@williamh7759]

One of the clips of people trying/doing backflips when the kid did one and got so excited he jumped off his bike and ran over to his mom to hug her made my day :)

[@carrickdolan8035]

Seth, I once hit my funny bone really hard on the corner of a wall, the left side of my hand was completely numb for about a week after but gained full sensation back in the end

[@SethsBikeHacks]

that’s comforting! I read that I should give it a few weeks and then see a doctor if it’s not gone. So hopefully you-me-same.

[@jeffeyro]

I once got hit by a baseball bat (full swing) in the funny bone. My fingers were stuck, completely locked into a fist for the first few hours. It took about 3-5 days for my pinky and ring finger to unlock and fully extend. Oddly, nothing was broken and after my fingers all came up, I was good to go!

[@FindaratoCarnesir]

I also got a serious knock in the wrong place like this (though I did it with a ladder, not a bike). I nearly passed out from the shock, and it took several days for the sensation to fully return in my hand. But ever since, I get some tingling feeling every now and then from my elbow to my pinky finger. So don't wait too long with seeing a doctor if it doesn't go away soon!

[@gav225]

carrick dolan Seth's Bike Hacks I don’t know if it’s comparable but I got surgery on my collarbone about 9 months ago and I still have nerve damage on my chest and shoulder area from the surgery when they said it would go away. Maybe don’t wait too long!

[@tkdbboy]

I had something with similar symptoms effecting the ulnar nerve. Went away after 3 weeks. Sleeping with the effected arm out rather than bent and nerve flossing helps with recovery .... and also not riding :(

[@rtann]

I was with you all the way Seth. Every post I see you out out is gold and really glad when you pulled the flip off. Thanks for posting the best mtb shows on youtube.

[@edwardgerosanu3146]

how is that bike not destroyed????

[@SethsBikeHacks]

It’s a really good bike!

[@wayne9005]

Not a cheap one

[@cwalt74]

im thinking a spare bike would be a good option

[@rupedog]

I guess when ur given it, it's easier to be carefree?? Or when its not ur one and only bike u saved and starved to get...maybe if u buy its better to buy cheaper, so u are less precious and ride harder fir more stoke?

[@thibautnoah2599]

CwALT Was thinking the same, maybe getting a dirt to practice tricks on would be a good idea before jumping into the fullsuspension bike

[@troyhall1274]

Seth you never cease to amaze me !! You my friend are getting sicker by the day ! And I think you had the right guy leading you.... Glad to see Phil and you hanging !! I tried to get it on a BMX back in the day but at 54 I don't think that needs to be in my bag of tricks...lol

[@ToogyHowser]

Awesome progression! Nice to see Phil again!

[@TravellingAsh-]

A couple years ago when I started watch you, and video consisted of 2x4s painted red and called a bike stand, I thought pretty cool. But you are a legit rider and a great example of building a KZbin business. Good for you all around. Love it.

[@Carsonsaurus]

Nobody pushes Seth’s skills further like Phil! Great video, Highland goes on the bucket list.

[@MichaGajek]

I've been watching your progression from a regular next-door guy who also enjoys little mtb/bmx tricks to a full blown bike maniac. The "old" Seth convinced me it's not too late to start learning the real riding and now I got the "new" Seth to keep up to. Just please don't hurt yourself dude!

[@rusty-il2ip]

4:08 I love the way Phil just sprang into action

[@maxkrauss4155]

Seth you are an inspiration. At 35 and a new father, I've put this on my way down on my bucket list. Sadly my nearest resi ramp/ mulch pile got taken down before I could get it. Seeing this, I now will set off on a trip somewhere to conquer the flip. Look forward to see you land tire side down on dirt in future episodes!

[@sangeetaadu]

That first attempt was awful You are the best mountain biking youtuber ever 😃

How is Phil doing? We’re hoping he’s all right since he decided to take some time off.

[@larnbaldwin]

I ride semi pro slopestyle, and I found it quite funny when taking about flip control, Philadelphia flips have bad control as well, I've done mini flips and flip variations, you need to try less flip, and more let the takeoff do it, if your ever in the uk, feel free to join me at my private resi to try some more flips and other tricks

I was good at doing backflips on a trampoline at some point. I could do 2 backflips in a row. After a break at tricking I tried to backflip, accidentally did a cork but didn't get hurt. Then when I tried to flip again, I landed on metal and now I'm too traumatized to even try to backflip again. I can still do them from hard to foam tho.

I have a season pass and live 10 minuets down the road and yet to try the htc tent, this video really makes me want to try the foam pit.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

6:20 I get like this too. I've learned that when I nail it and then start pushing it, it's time to go home, rest up asap. Sleep on it, and hit it again in the morning well rested. I'll usually find myself more consistent (and flowy, like it's natural) and making less mistakes. Scientifically, it makes sense because your brain commits its neuroplasticity when you sleep well after learning or experiencing something. So good rest is essential to keeping (and further developing) your newfound skill! I know how hard it is to fight the urge to keep going back at it... usually just ends up in me getting hurt...

[@deanpowder82]

Just wanted to say hi and thanks for ALL the videos. I just started riding this summer with a hand me down bike I got from my brother but after watching your videos I already want to start saving and the the beginner bike you spoke of in the “Build a beginner bike video” and learn to do the stuff you do.
