Would it flip to flip?

[Andrew1289]

Would a carbon BOB with a x metal 865 power valve, with TL and a power factor pipe with a mag pump be able to do flat water back flip to consecutive back flip?

rider weight 140 to 165 pounds.

Has any BOB done flip to flip? I know they had a 1200 in one...

Just because a hull is lighter than a fiberglass hull, that alone doesn't support a flip to flip double.
All depends on how the bottom hull is designed and pump location. If you look at the Lenzi hull, Rickter hull, Bun hull, X Scream hull, they are designed to be able to load the pump correctly for this to happen. The SS 865 package is a killer engine, but that's pushing it for only a 68mm stroke crank, The XS1000 is the deal for that trick. (10mm stroker)

with 701 its almost impossible to flip it just once. 1000 for flipto flip for sure

Remember that anything freestyle will take skill. The BOB hull is capable of flipping with a 701, but that doesn't mean you don't have to try. Obviously the bigger the motor, the easier it'll be, but I know that a X-Metal 1000 will do consecutive flips. My BOB with a 800 flat top has done flips. An X-Metal 865 will definitely do flips in a BOB, but once again, you'll definitely need some skill to do it, especially a double.

Taking the engine out of the picture, does the x metal/rickter/lenzi have an advantage over the BOB in some way for flip to flip? Does the BOB have a pump location/bottom hull design thats very different from the x/rick/len?

 

[DK-Freestyle]

They all have a different bottom deck, that's what makes them all unique.

Hey DK, has a BOB done a back to backflip before that you know of? What was the engine/pump?

Thanks Matt.

Yes, BOBs can do consecutive flips. It's been done with an X-Metal 1000 and a 144 Magnum pump I believe. Definitely not a budget set up, but it works.

I am blocked from youtube videos. I imagine the video is of a BOB doing a flip to flip? Was it a carbon BOB or a fiberglass? I see the engine is xscream 1000.

Was posting at the same time...

I think, carbon bob, tl, PF pipe, mag pump, dasa 970 cc PV 10mm stroker it would be possible for flip to flip.

Easy.

I watched one of the guys I ride with yesterday almost double flip on a superjet splash cut 3 or 4 inches. With t.l. And a 5mill lamey setup. So with a shorter, lighter hull thatwas designed to flip with an 865 it should deff be possibly with some skill
