Emile.m · 2008-03-24T01:11:15+00:00

Let the games begin *(March 24th, 12h00 GTM)*. Rules are as per usual. •YOU CAN NOT HAVE LANDED A DOUBLE BACKFLIP BEFORE. •FIRST PERSON TO LAND IT(CLEAN) AND GET THE VIDEO ONLINE WINS. •YOU MUST LAND IT CLEAN ENOUGH TO PLEASE THE OTHER COMPETITORS. •IT MUST BE LANDED ON FLAT GROUND TO COUNT. •YOU MAY HOP AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT AFTER THE FLIP. Along with first place, a second, third, place will be awarded. So don't give up after someone posts their video. _PLEASE_ try and make your video clips somewhat enjoyable.... Even tho its a race it is much nicer to watch a well made video than a scrappy half ass clip of your first double. NAME: LOCATION: YEARS RIDDING: FAV. TRICK: FAV.

Location: Boston, MA / Laconia, NH
Years ridding: Two and a half. I lost track a while back and I have
been saying two and a half years for quite a while but I learned in the
late summer of 05.
Fav. Trick: I'm liking the feel of backflips right now.
Fav. Chocolate: Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles.
I don't have a camera but maybe I'll land one, get it consistent and
then Sam can get it on film next time he comes up.

It does matters, it's a doubleback comp, not a fakie double or double
fakie.
EDIT: I rode all day today and I forgot all about this comp ^^

You are right, doubleback flips are not that hard. You just have to
believe you will land it, jump hight, and kick your pedal in direction
of the floor. I don't land a lot of fliptricks, but I can doubleback,
so, that means that it is not that hard!
Good luck everyone! I landed my first doubleback flip less than 2
months ago, but be carefull, I hurt myself doing it, and I couldn't
ride during about 1 month...
Sorry for my english...have a good day,
Tim

I rode today and I tried them a couple of time. When I flip them, my
foot doesn't always get off the pedal so it hurts my ankle.
If my foot would not get stuck I think I would have landed them
today....since when my foot was getting off the pedal I was always
kicking 2.0-2.10 .

Mine are only 1.5 and I cant get passed that. 1.65 maybe. I got really
tired of trying them and a little angry with the lack of any
progression. I think I will sleep on it and try some other time. For
now I am just gonna blame it on the short cranks, haaha.
