Former professional snowboarder Jim Rippey talks about the first backflip on a snow mobile. Not HIS first backflip. But THE first backflip. This was way before foam pits.
So true. crazy to think it happened this way too with a story that's not about an athlete who is taking all the glory for themselves. I love how Jim says this was a gift from God. People can argue is God is real or whatever, but no one can argue with the guy who landed the first flip and said it was God's hand that helped him. They could obviously disagree, but the story still remains. Hope it encourages people to think bigger, believe bigger. And if we ask, "What's the point?" or living, life, etc... we eventually have to look to God, all else eventually runs dry.
We love hearing Jim speak at his church
I got to hear him preach one Sunday, when we cam to film his story. Yeh, he's the real deal. We will be having him on our podcast soon!
this was also done well before a back flip was done on a dirt bike too. way before his time with the courage and skill.. the best ripper rippey
