I wanna Stick the Flip

[MxMike393]

This is silly, go for it. Seriously have a camera rolling tho

[RMZracer212]

come on guys its not that hard, just dump the clutch comming up the face. Or get your butt all the way back on the seat and just hold the throttle all the way up the seat, might even want to give the throttle a hard whack before you come off.

Were you Seriously thinking of attempting a backflip on that jump?
No offence man, but you've probably got more chance of pulling a frontflip.

[racer_ryan247]

you guys are making this sound to easy, it even took travis pastrana many tries to land it, but whatever, it is your decision just dont hurt yourself if you do fall:

[KX250]

Back when i fist got my bike i was jumping the jump on the same hill it was all the same angle, i stuffed it up and jarred my wrist at the lip, before i knew it i was in the air facing up, then the ground came from the top of my view, i was facing the ground again then i jumped off, i was 75% thru a rotation and that was by accident. Well, if you guys dont think i will pull it, im still gonna give it a go and we will see who can pull a flip and who cant. the jump that u see there, i dont think you reaslise that you know how big it is.

the method in my madness is come up to the lip just breakin 1st maybe 2nd hold it wide when i get to the ramp all the way till i hit the ground again, pull super hard back when i leave it, stay committed or i will get off axis and it will all go down.

Yes, seems good to me. and believe me i wouldnt miss it on camera i ahve about 4 lined up for it.

Thanks guys for all ya errrrr... HELP

Gas hard off the face of the jump, keep it on past the lip but don't panic rev after that. On your way off the face get your body weight back and your butt over the rear fender, this will begin the rotation. Once you leave the lip and the rotation has begun get your body centered on the bike so it'll keep rotating. If you can, look up (actually down, at the ground) and try to spot your landing. If it's coming up too fast and you haven't completed your rotation, gas it to drop the back end down. If you've over rotated good luck on riding it out. If you never make it past up-side-down and you see the ground...well, lets hope you took the advice on calling the paramedic.

Dude, if you pull it off, you are most definately the man!

NOTE: Just for the record, I am 100% against you attempting such a stunt.

[ekholms-mx-farm]

I am praying for your safety!! And I would suggest taking a shovel and make it like a vert ramp (smooth transition). AND CALL THE MEDICS!!

[KX250]

yep, thats why mum pays a fortune in private health insurance, we havent really used it, i guess its time i did lol

[Macho393]

well I got a flipping stick for fishing, I can teach you about. I use to could flip my pig& jig close to 20 yards and land it in a good size coffee can half filled with water and not splash a drop.

Thanks for ya Support guys, im gonna go for it after christmas. i Worked out that if i dont make it and i hurt my bike, then i will have it on film. then i could send it into Australias Funniest Home Videos, even if it gets shown i get $500 that way i could pay for the dammages, but if i dont break it i will buy a FMF pipe, im goin to read a few threads about them, if there arent man i will start a new thread to ask about them.

Have Fun, Merry Christmas

If you don't make it, the last thing you will be worrying about is the damage to your bike. If your serious about this atleast find a jump someone has completed a backflip on, not just one you think it can be done on. Two inches of soft dirt? Wow! Do you really think you need that much cushion if you don't make it? Well if you do try it, good luck and get it on video.
