frontflip??

[teamgreen]

Should be easy to do with a Yamaha or Ski-Poo as they are so from heavy they almost flip forward on flat ground.

This is a perfect example of my HUGE dislike of freestyle, as iam sure anyone with kids is. The proliferation of the stunts has pushed the envelope so far towards the extream its almost and invitation to suicide.
Here is a young man who doesent even own a sled talking about trying a backflip as soon as he gets one.
Kid, i beg you to procede with great caution, the guys that can pull these tricks with ease are freaks of nature, you are likely not. What they dont show you the skyrocketing number of severe orthopedic injurys that result from these stunts gone wrong,the months or years of physio or worse.

IF i do this i will wear as much gear as humanly possible!!! and medical care on hand!! and before i would try that i would practice hitting huge jumps and work my way up!!! i would try and be as safe as possible!!! i know the risks! i am not even sure if i will do it!! but i would love to!!! and i have about 8-9 years on sleds including the rx-whale!!! and sxr700 i have hit big jumps before and have had more then on accident and once almost broke my arm and almost knocked unconscious from hitting a jump on my old 86 yamaha phazer and me and my sled went like 10ft in the air and the sled went sideways in the air and i landed on my elbow and head!! and to top it off my brother-in-law almost ran me over on my brother's cougar 550!! i laid there for a few mins! i rode home with one arm because my other was throbbing!!

next year i will have a sled and i will be right in the backcountry!!! so excpect some stories from me next year!!! hahahaha

Let me know which areas you plan to hit so I can stay out of them next year. (lol)

Just an FYI...you couldn't get enough speed and height off a launch to get the required momentum to turn it over front ways even you you locked the track and pushed the bars at the perfect time. But hey, if you are gonna try it off a ramp in Saskatchewan, I'll drive out to video that for you.

Might even win a Darwin with that stunt! :d:d:d

the more i read the less i want to try the frontflip!!!! but i would love to try a backflip!!!

Build some ramps on the farm out there, practice your launches, track spin, and landings before you ever go for the big one, and make sure you have a soft landing area cause that not only takes big cahunas, but real world skill. Good chance you're gonna get seriously hurt trying this too so know that before you try working up to it. Hate to see you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

If you want to see what happens when you screw up, go to SLED PORN and see how bad they crash. This stuff isn't for most of us, unless you live in Alaska, have huge cash to play with as you destroy sleds and rack up huge hospital bills.

Take the kid bowling and feed him some mini eggs:d
A lot less chance of someone getting hurt!!!

Here you go.

 

[Summiteer]

Can't be done. Back flip you get the heavy part of the sled to the top of the circle of rotation first, then track rotation, momentum and gravity help you finish the loop. In a forward flip, the heavy end of the sled goes to the bottom of the circle first then you fight against track rotation and gravity to bring it up and over to finish the loop. Take lots of vid and have your next of kin post your attempt.

[tex78]

I think this is the trick reverse and pin it after leaving the ramp. Don't forget to post the vids and hey let me know before you try and I'll take out a policy on ya could make some easy money here.:d

 

[TheLonelyIsland]

yah i thought about the reverse thing. and i wont change my name if i do it , it will be on a yamaha!! obviously you guys dont know what i can do with a yamaha!!! more then you think!!

I give the guy for wanting to try, BUT the only thing we as a forum should be saying is DO NOT try this. I have rode a sled lots, and have some friends that are great riders, none have ever thought trying a back flip is a good idea. We do not need you out trying this in the backyard when your parents are not home. If you want to be a freestyle rider I suggest you work your way up in a place with some guys that can this.

[sickcat05]

Does anyone remember back in 2000 in the x games when carey hart did the first back flip on dirtbike... no body thought that was possible and then i think last year one of travis pasrtanas buddies did the first ever front flip on dirtbike... so my thoughts are i think anything is possible if you just commit
