  1. Some of you might know that I landed a few Double flips at BUC and Joe
    Hodges (British Trials Champion) managed to film it. Unfortunatly his
    camera is mucked up and he cant get the film off of it.

    This brings me to now, I was trying them again and managed to land my
    first one since BUC. I got some on video and am fairly consistant
    (1/10, I know that doesnt sound to good but they are hard).

    'HERE' (http://tinyurl.com/rr98f) is the video, sorry for the quality.
    Thanks to Trev for uploading it, my gallery is mucked up.

    Thanks again,
    Mike

  2. Nice one mike, good to see a UK rider keeping the standards high. That
    rolling hop at the end was a beast, I could say the same about the bail
    though, Ouch!

  4. Lol, hahahahahahhahahaha nothing like a good painful bail. Nice flips, I
    didn't realise anyone in England was actually good at street :p... that
    trick would look so cool if you filmed it with a camera built for doing
    slow motion!

    To the optimist, the glass is half full.

    To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

    To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

  10. Thanks guys and Girls, I am very pleased that I managed to get those
    down since BUC.

    Pete, haha, no one good at street pssshh. Yea the cameras pants but I
    put it in real slow to actually prove that I did land it.

    I am suprised no one said it wasnt a full double, there is usually one.

    I fall with my upper body travelling backwards and my lower body
    travelling forwards from 5' up and hit the concrete with my tailbone
    and right elbow. It hurt, but I found it quite funny.

  16. Riley, yes. They are ALOT harder than singles. I find the main bit of
    doubles is getting your back foot off the pedal.

    Zippy, do you want me to try double backs? I have only just got
    rolling backs down, doublebacks are hard. Maybe if I get more
    consistant.

    Tom, that bail of the double flip didnt hurt to much. I had loads of
    bails of trying doubles but none looked very good because, well I just
    hurt my *cough*. Look at Amanda's sig.

  18. It's rad to see more people double flipping. Nicely done. I wouldn't go
    into doublebacks quite yet, but maybe look into lateflipping. Once
    again rad.

    If you hit it first try, it's not hard enough.
