I was thinking,would it be possible to make like heel clicker backflips or superman backflips,or something like that?Of course the pole would have to be pretty tight an with the limiter hope and a ''special located'' handhold.
If the MX guys do...why shouldn't we try?It's a pitty I don't have surf around my state to think about trying.

I have tried a hood grab backflip last year and slipped out of the footholds coming around on the backflip... I landed directly one the hood and pole and blew out my knee. I am working on a super man barrel but ate crap on that too. I should concur one trick at a time and nail the double barrel first. I could see a super man Backy being possbile though ! :Banane01:

Everytime I get in the surf now, I have just been shreading.. Strait up surf riding is so addicting... if you can get in the surf.. man go for it !:biggthumpup:

Yeah,and I hope they do it really soon!It would be a very nice innovation for our sport.People who's watching will get crazy!!!Man that would be so sick!And I hope that you freeride guys are working on that on the stand ups!I wanna move to some coast area,the freeride is the future of the sport IMO,atracts more atention and sponsor,probably because it looks more extreme.

I know over at the french IFWA stop...there were some guys pulling backflip Indian airs, and other types of manuvers...pretty killer

I break stuff
Not really mx style, but if you turn the bars when you hit the wave for a flip, you will do a flair. If you hit the wave diagonally you will do an off-axis flip that looks very cool.
I have landed 1 handed flips, but I do not reccomend no hander landers. You either fall back on the ski with your feet still locked in the footholds (ask siki about broken heels), or you stay over the ski and get a chest full of handpole on impact.
I wear shin guards and lightweight mx pants too.

The mx blokes are now doing backflip:cordovas,cliffhangers.... Jimmy does backflip combos like no hander to no footers ....yadayada... But remember our ramps are blowing towards us at a speed and is def not a static ramp coz when u jump mx hittin the ramp is 2nd in ur mind...it always launches u the same way,..................THUS WHO WANTS TO BUILD A WAVEPOOL 5 FOOT WAVE EVERY 2ND MINUTE......!!!NOTHINGS IMPOSSIBLE(BARRELROLLSUPERMANSEATGRABINDIANAIR) Thats my dream!!!!

That is true about the mx ramp but think about it. If you skrew up, the landing is going to be WAAAAAAY worse. That is what is so extreme about it. That is what draws such a huge crowd to fmx.

Now I am not saying the a bad landing on water cant be bad but not nearly as bad as dirt.

Oh yeah, the X games start tomorrow.:biggthumpup:

A back flip flair is very doable........kind of like a little tail whip. I have seen the west coast guys busting that stuff. Looks sweet.

You can always do a Kenny bare foot back flip. He is the man! I can't stand riding with out shoes and have no idea how he does it. Must be the surfer in him.

Barefoot crazy...crazy...

About 3 years ago we were riding a freeride contest but the weather was crap,suddenly a decent to big wave appeard...went for a backflip seatgrab...um yeah I went to the left and the blaster also...Hospital...

I just hope people are stupid enough to push the envelope further each year and never get static!!!!! No peace for the wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I will be working on something soon as we get some waves that are big enough... I already got the mechanics worked out, I just need to throw it....

It's a trick that I saw someone pull online... I think it will be simple and look cool.... I'll let ya know what it is, after I do it.

I don't want to say anything till I land one
