Mark W Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 A while back everyone was talking about how Martyn Ashton was planning on doing frontflip dropoffs or something like that. Well, here's something that might kick-start people's ideas about them... Last trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 About four years ago I tried a variation on that (a more trialsy style) into ball pools and water, by basically rolling up to the edge of a 7-8ft drop at some speed pulling an endo right at the edge and just carrying on the flip as I fell. Got very close once, but never had the guts to try it onto solid ground. That guy had it dialled though, massive props. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd just like to take the opportunity to point out the lack of a front brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, but this was off a stair-set, not a shitload of pallets, a roof, and a grass bank? Also, Cranmer did it by doing a manual, then braking, then kicking forwards, which isn't the same as what this guy did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I thought about that frontflip off a stairset years ago but never found the ideal location or means to try it safely (ie foampit or water). frontflip drop has already been done on a mod by some monty rider a few back, though i doubt that clip will be on youtube now. a backflip trials drop would be super impressive to do but very difficult to learn safely even with a high enough drop off platform and foampit.

Rich Pearson Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 And again... how? He's not even wearing a frickin' helmet!! Crazy. Thats what I was worrying about, as if you slow it down, you realise that he is in fact rolling up to set of concrete steps, and throwing is head and face forwards as hard as possible towards the concrete to get the rotation for the spin. I mean, imagine if he came up short, or God forbid, his hands came off the bars.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 only expected a 360 barsip! Even though the title of this topic includes the words 'frontflip drtopoffs' and the link is entitled 'last trick'?... Still can't see the wires or mirrors though.
