How many of you have ever flipped a DH bike? Let us know!
definitely have seen my dh bike flip. never with me on it tho.
A Mas.0 haha that’s what I was thinking 😅
MEEEE on a airbag but I crashed...
😂
only on a bmx
Ive flipped before and have to say this is probably one of the best "how to backflip" out there.
Buschli exactly what i was thinking i needed this video when i was first learning
I tried really hard, imagining doing this by myself. I fully understood how to execute and feel every part of the process but my brain screams "don't you dare!" just by going trough some of the steps in my head. It's insane how much commitment you have to put in this trick.
Otherwise if I imagine replacing the dirt, foampit or airbag with water I don't hear the voices as strong:D Think it's really just the fear of smashing head first into the ground..
Trying to backflip into a foam pit or water is always the best way to go. Once you realize the steps, doing it on dirt doesn't seem so bad!
I have backfliped on skies before on 30-50 ft table tops. Committing was definitely hard do it in foam first if you can. You will know when its the right time, if you listen to your body don't rush it.
Thank you for the help I landed my first on dirt
Best "how to backflip" ever! Can't wait to try it! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Easy peasy!
Instructions unclear
Head dropped off
the video we've all be waiting for 🤘
i know the individual step, i just need to commit to do them, its so hard to commit
Ya that’s the most important part, everything else is easy
haha i cant even properly wheelie
Yay!!! One step closer to breaking my neck👍
Nice bike!
The backflip is the easy go to trick...yeah for sure it must be sooo easy to flip a bike
it actually is, its just hard(or even very hard) on the mental side. Same with suicide no hander, although backflip needs a little more technique
Dude trust me as someone eho can backflip it really is easy just like bar spins. Its all a mental battle man its so scary to learn but once you have them dialed they are easy
I know ive searched for this but no thank you
Compress pop pull back spot your landing 🤟
I wonder if I will ever do a backflip. I will buy me a dirtjump bike soon so I can learn the backflip on that but even if I can do that I wonder if I,like ever do it on my freeride bike
can i get specs on the ramp?
I almost broke my neck but attempt 12 I landed it. It was the best feeling ever
mais facil que 360
I am actually trying to start doing the back flip in a foam pit
Is it weird that I did it my 6th try it just felt so free lol
Just wondering if they are 27.5” wheels, can you do the same tricks with 29ers?TIA Great vid 👍
did you learn it on big bike??
How fast should my rebound be?
noti sqaud
would playing with rebound also help ... like a lil faster in the front and slower in the back?
Maybe a little difference...but sticking with rebound you're comfortable with would probably be more beneficial!
Stick with what your used to. If your going to adjust anything make the rear scock harder and more compression
i have
honestly the best tip is to just pull and look back not over your shoulders
Not gonna lie I would not trust a trail bike on a red bull track and if you want a heavier bike that is stronger or more 16kg with carbon frames then yes I recommend a stronger bike for stunts lol trail bikes can be faster on a trail but each bike has a purpose down hill bikes are made to be strong to withstand red bull stunts
I took my trail bike to RedBull rampage
He is using 26in wheels? Those are look like 26's it to me
probably, it is the best wheel size for freeriding
Yes it is for sure
Nah 27.5 same bike as mine
The deep section rims make it look like its a 26
enve carbon m70 or m90 wheels are thick as , thats whats tricking your mind mate
Exigo subtitulos en español
Study english!!
@@MrVabbiu very dificult
alright kids, go out and flip your dh bikes!
done :) i am 15 years old and i think everyone should try it ;)
I’m 14 and I’m going to try it
@@braapmotiontv1843 I'm 14 and have no DH Bike (XC with 110mm travel in the front)
@@jacenbjork5190 and did u do it?
Instructions unclear. Fell off a cliff
I just broke my neck🤭
2 years and i still cant flip shit
Not me thinking I can do this easy 💀
Another way is
Go fast and press front break you will fly like a bird
its not made for that
Dh Rid3yafuckinbik3 have a sook
Actually, it's made to get hammered, getting impacts, jumps, and even tricks? It has stronger everything, bigger hubs, and stuff, so I don't see why a downhill bike shouldn't backflip, you can even fail a little bit, the bike will still be there.
My adventure with the tree began with projects from Stodoys plans.
