Is it possible to backflip a stock 701 in surf?

[Rustbucket]

I have to ask the dumb question but I'm curious to know. Has anyone successfully landed one with no mods and 2 foot waves?

 

[simofx-1]

are you asking if anyone has landed a stock backflip of 2ft of surf or are you asking if its a good idea to start learning back flips of 2ft of surf on a superjet......because the answer would be nope bad idea.
by 2 foot do you mean waist high ?

 

[Rustbucket]

Is it possible. And ya, waist high. What's the bare minimal that someone should do to the ski in order to have a chance of getting it?

Where do you ride?

I guarantee four guys in the crew I ride with can flip a stock 650 motor off a waist high wave that curls. It's all about timing and skill. The motor really only plays a part when the waves get crappy.

Idk @BruceSki a stock ski with a footstrap on a shoulder high wave. Waist is pretty low.

It would be a goofy looking over the shoulder flip. Full speed

 

[BruceSki]

Of course full speed. But you could flip it.

 

[tightithrash]

Yes

I cant back flip, so im not experton backflipping, however i like tho think of surf backflipping as a simple if / then physics problems...

If you try to throw your balls over your head, and they are big enouh to carry you and your ski around for a full rotation, then you can backflip anything in the surf. Really, the hardest part is starting your huge ass balls in the right direction, momentum does the rest.

Thats just to get a basic flip. The really high backflips and backflips with combos requires a much more complicated parabolic equasion of lift relative to rotation.

Its a lot less complicated than it sounds. In laymans terms, pin it to win it.

i have a 97 sj with stock motor with footholds and a shortened pole. i have attempted it and got about 3/4s of the way around no problem. if my pockets were a little deaper i would be attempting them every time i ride but when you start going up sidown stuff starts to break. if you are expecting things to break and you are ready to pay the price it is 100% possible.

 

[BruceSki]

That's the best post I've ever read. Expect things to break and open your wallet.

Once you learn to make it all the way around it gets way cheaper. You'll still break stuff but not nearly as much.

Where balls go, body will follow... the key for bflipping

If you try to throw your balls over your head, and they are big enouh to carry you and your ski around for a full rotation, then you can backflip anything in the surf. Really, the hardest part is starting your huge ass balls in the right direction, momentum does the rest.

@x2Ufoolz flipped a bone stock 650 superjet with make shift footholds. Ski was bone stock, off craigslist and straight to the ocean.

 

[DEXTER]

I cant back flip.

I love how guys like you who never backflip chime on on threads about backflipping. Learn to backflip, then tell us what you think it takes.....

Hey, He admitted it...........

 

[Rustbucket]

I tried doing it on a 89 X2 and ate it hard. That's why I'm wondering if a superjet will be nicer to me lol.

 

[BruceSki]

I've still never seen a first gen flip. I'd like to see it before they all turn to dust.
