The Double Back Flip

[PancakePete]

So how many have ever attempted the double backy?

Air Darren, Sucide Havel, and Gil are the only ones that come to my mind.

Seriously huge air. He was still peaking when he was already rotated once around.

ROSS AND MYSELF.. i only tried twice.. once was a 1.5 to pancake.
thats the furthest i think i will ever go too.

Yeah I forgot about Ross on stunt junkies.

And Pete, sorry for missing you as well.

But what we have is 5 people total known to have ever attempted a trick. Pretty exclusive company I might say...

I tried it a few times and never got past 1-1/2 rotations... It's way harder than it looks in that vid..

Props to you that you can even say you tried, 'cuz I know I'll never be in that group!

You might try it, but it won't be on purpose! That is the only way I see myself "trying" it.

Douglas Carvahalo (sp) has also tried and come very close.

I think the new hulls out there will make this more of a reality. I know Piere has one from Rick...we will see what he does with it!

I believe Ant Burgess did 1 1/2 of a boat wake at Havasu this year, and I did 1 1/2 at Hossegor last year.
