Look jack@ss, I said someone did a backflip on a small quad. I didn't say anything about landing it or it not being in a foam pit. I just thought some people who say it can't be done could see that people are working on it and getting closer. I said it was a cruddy clip.

So why don't you sit back, relax, and have a nice warm glass of STFU.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Been there, done that!!

I did a beautiful backflick.....right down the side of one steep mother of a hill by my house. Didn't land in any foam pit either....pulled cactus out of my A$$ for nearly an afterward. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Scrambler420....guess you didn't see the humor in that?

There are very steep hills by my house....some get verticle at the top....I don't try those. They are half sand half packed but once you pick a line to go up you are committed because there really isn't anyway to turn around. I tried going up one VERY steep hill on un underpowered quad (not my Raptor). I was only about 15 feet from the top when I started digging in.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I grabbed all the brake I could but I didn't matter....I was going backward and there wasn't anything I could about it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

So there you go. I wish I did have pictures of that because it cost me a lot of skin and pride and some pretty good tweaking on my quad. I guess you didn't see the humor in it though.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

OHHH ok... first of all, if ANYBODY could do it without landing it, where are YOUR pics buddy? And secondly, who the hell wouldnt chicken out flipping backwards on a quad?? You should give the people who have the ballz to even attempt a backflip a LOT more credit..

do you think that the first person to try a backflip on a bike, dirtbike, or snowmobile landed it the first time? ... nope... do you think they "chickend out" .. of course.. thats the first stages of somthing new. Give it some time, it will be done!

a backflip has not been done on a quad or they would be pulling them off in the freestyle events, the foam pit doesnt count never had never will it just for practice, im sure many people are working on it but until the quad freestyle gets biger than it is no ones going to risk it

Isnt a 360 degree backwards rotation a back flip? they have done a backflip according to the clip, but they just havent rode it off yet.

It will be done. It's just gonna take a lot of guts to try it.

I think it would be easy to get the needed rotation on say a pimped out 330R with an aftermarket chassis.
