I was searching http://expn.go.com/expn/index for a preview of the upcoming X Games. Well I guess the level of tricks has been up'd once again from the year before.

Two tricks I still want to see. 1) the bike flip. Basically an "Around The World" but on a dirt bike. The bike flips, you don't, climb back on and ride away. Search Morgan Wade. I couldn't find a good video of him doing it. He hangs onto the bike with one hand on teh grip and rotates it with his other hand. It is pretty cool.

2) A barrel roll. I think that first video is pretty much a roll though.

It should be a good X Games as long as no one get seriously hurt and some sweet new tricks get pulled...

Yeah, It looks like he throws it with the same rotation. I'm going to start calling my b-rolls "underflips". It sound so much more technical.

I was bout to say.... sure sounds like a thumper

 

[dbrutherford]

You you guys are right, I paid no attention to the sounds when I watched it. I guess they are slowly working the two stroke out of me.... tear...

Gotta love that many of the new thumpers are lighter than the 2- strokerrrs

the new yamahas are only a few pounds diffrence between the yzf 450 nd the yz 250

 

[FL-cracker]

Damn, 229 vs 238 only 9 lbs still more then a few in my book.

I would say if anything a Under flip would be what some call a flare or flare role on a ski.

Basically a barrel role mixed with a backflip... Or a barrel role where you pull back hard like a backy, this is different from throwing your self over the front of your ski like a typical BR>

Barrel roles and a underflip like seen here are two different tricks the way I see it.

After watching front flips at the X-games, I would say it would be more then possible to BR in the Dirt. I predict that it will be the next big trick in FMX.

someone does a sweet barrel roll on a bike in the crusty 12 video

 

[yamaslut]

I saw a guy do a real barrel roll on a bike (pedal)

 

[dbrutherford]

I can't wait to hit up the local skate park when I get back to WV. I haven't been riding my BMX bike at all Huntsville has two skate parks one public, one pay and neither lets bikes in.. what a crock!

 

[FxOne]

looks like a tail whip backflip

 

[swanny]

looks exactly like a bronco in snowboarding. What cracker ass cracker said.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Sounds like a 250f as well...
