Though Seth is known for his Big Air Crashes and long distance jumps his supporting cast always trick it up. In 2002 the big tricks were look backs, knack knacks and no hander landers. Very few back flips to be found. Wow in just a few years we have gone from just making it around to no handed back flips or wild seat grabs while upside down.Hey we have even seen a double back flip. Thanks Travis Pastrana. Keep in mind this back flip obsession has come with a price.
World Champion Jerimy Lusk was killed while performing a back flip variation. New riders should use caution. The dangers are very real. I am sure that in the years to come we will be seeing back flips that will blow our minds.Even my sport of freestyle jet skiing has been bitten by the backie bug. So have I. All I can say is use your head when trying to learn these new stunts if you don’t get all the way around you will probably land on it.
