backflip on a xp

[foxloat]

i have never actually seen a backflip on a sea doo xp i've heard of one one being done before but if someone has some pics or a vid i would like to see them and i also felt like posting a pick of my xp tell me what you think got new graphics last year and i'm getting a superjet next year so i'll have the best of both worlds.

I very seriously doubt it.

Yawn.

i think its been done on a blaster but thats as close to an xp as it gets...

We've seen vids of couches doing flips.... but 270 kg's over your head - not safe

Clearly it could be done if Visser can BF a friggin 3D!!!!

i remember some dude on an HX (Rob Pillus's boss) was getting pretty crazy at sebastian inlet. he wasnt doing backy's but some serious airs and nosestabs that were pretty impressive. i think its possible imho. why not.

Silly Rabbit backflips are for Superjets,didn't you get the memo?:brap:

I would not attempt it on that fat turd you posted a pic of.

Maybe on a 96xp x4 hull with trim, I could see it happening for sure. The old XP's are alot lighter and smaller... I know someone has roller one before. That couch you have is a race ski, not a freeride ski.

I think you can do it. you just gotta get your set up wake right.

yes, you did!

dont forget, yellow XPs get better rotation than any other color XP.

Visser did not backflip a 3D. He pancaked it.

Yea but he got super close!!! Sounds like a killer place for a vid link but I have no idea where to find that puppy.

 

[Matt_E]

Close? How is pancaking it close? He literally landed on his back.
Even with the help of the waves, he got only 1/2 around. That means he rotated only 1/4 without the wave.

Craig Hammond (Zimmy) backflipping his B1 in VB back in may :Banane09:

Wake? more like the north shore green room.

 

[yamaslut]

I have seen it on a XP, but have seen it on an older Kawi... "team no sponsor" ring a bell???

What does a 3D weigh? What does this couch weigh?

I don't know. I just don't want to say that it can't be done.

 

[Matt_E]

The 3D is close to 700lbs.
The XPL hull actually weighs a few pounds less. The hull is exactly the same, though.

I might be wrong, but I don't think it's possible.
