the weight and scaryness are big factors. Im sure it would be possible, but the person doing it would in my opinion need practice doing flips on lighter things. For example.

When Travis Pastrana learned backflips he learned them the same way i did, in a foampit on a bicycle. Then a pocket bike, like an xr 50, then a 125 and so on. This was seen on the x games, showing how he trained.

Im just saying that some moron shouldnt just go and do a backlip on a quad because a snowmobile did it. It does take some skill to it and alotta ***** with a good ramp and landing.

 

Thanks for the input on this. Nice to hear from someone that has done a backflip on anything!!! Me; well, my bones are too old and brittle to try anything like this on purpose!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Ive read on a different forum that people are already trying to do backflips on a atv. I believe the guy is using a yfz450 to attempt them. I dont think he is successful yet.
