Default Backflip

I was just on the H-Bomb films forum and there was a post about doing backflips on quads. Well someone posted a link that has apicture of someone doing one but its on a miniture four wheeler I think an lt-80 and they are most likely doing it into a foam pit or something.Its on the alpinestar website on the opening page. alpinestar

The crazy thing is they are talking about actually doing one for heuvos 6 but who knows. It is a pretty cool forum though because you are able to talk to all the pros like sheldon riggs, ryan bemis, dana creech, jon geuter, and more.

^^They've been doing that stuff on sleds for a while now. I got a ton of freestyle vids with guys doing that. This is my first summer riding a bike and once the newness wears off I will probably have some good stuff to show you.

On that forum they were also talking about how sleds are doing backflips, so it has to be the same or easier on a quad.

The pictures are real and they were taken at Travis Pastrana's house. Get the Global Addiction DVD it has a whole section showing Travis and Cowboy Kenny learning how to do backflips. Travis was pulling backflips on a small Suzuki quad into a foampit, and Travis is sponser'd by alpinestar. I know its not Travis in that pic but I'm sure it was taken at his house.
