Youngest to Flatwater Flip?

[Owen18]

Well, Hope I can be...
Im 14, getting my Gen 1 BOB with a 760 in it. I heard if I do it before im 15 I will be the youngest kid to Flatwater backflip.
Reason for 15 is apparently Lee Stone was when he first landed his.
Whats your input? Any tips? Im 125lbs thats why Im convinced I can on a stock 760 with limited mods.

Good luck with the backflip. I'm 15 now and am buying a gen2 in a couple of months. I hope i will be able to do a flip as well with my kawai based future setup.

17 when I did my first flip. Didn't even have my license then, either. I was backflipping and barrel rolling skis before I could even legally operate a vehicle.

Hi
Hope all goes well with the flip.
The age when Lee landed his first flip was fourteen so you are on target to achieve this if all goes well.

Good Luck.

Just do a real backflip.... Off a setup wake. Not on of those lame/gay ones where you just slide out 180 sink the pump and flip

You just need to turn that 360 you have dialed into a 540.... followed by the "gay sink the pump and flip".
That would shut some ppl up!

I do agree tho that slide 180 flips shouldn't be considered a true flatwater flip.

Nah, 900's spins into a double flip are where it's at now
