| who on here has actually landed one?
they really piss me off, because i keep getting gipped by the mats i do them onto for safety. they are soft so they catch my tire each time i come close, and when i think i might almost have em, i fuck em so hard... if i did them without the mats, id land most of them...

| Okay, I have landed them, but i hate throwing them, if i get pumped i will toss on a helmet and huck one, but yeah, its scary shit
First of all, i use a bike, at the time i was learning them, was my old bike because it was short and could whip it around. I would get to the point in which i was completely upside down and then just slow down, so i would actually throw in like half a crank in to get my bike tire to spin more to make it drop... Yes, i know this isnt the right way, because you land goofy footed, but it helps... All i can tell you is as you go off lean back pull and push that the same time so when you land you dont gut yourself...  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/yousmellfunny2/backfliptwo.jpg
Throw on some pads, get pumped and do it, fuck matts  | |

well ive tried them.... keyword there is tried. I cant seem to commit to it properly, i get upsidedown and just freeze. thats what I do, and then i throw in half a crank to get the back wheel down and thats what messes me up... Its the whole half way mark that really is goofy becuase you go to leaning back and pulling to not being able to... I wish i have a foam pit that isnt 2 hours away :( | |
