Backflips?

Is it possible to do it on a pogo stick? I would think that would be a
prerequisite before anyone tries it on a unicycle.

When did backflips become the trick to end all tricks??? I'm so sick
of seeing backflips. Now it's double backflips.

I must be getting old..........................

I'm tried of hip hop too

Just found this.

Does a backflip on a uni seem more possible now? It would definatly
have to be off a big drop or something in order to get enough air time
though.

Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
doubt.

Apparently Rhys from Australia can do them, has done them and was going
to do it for Guinness but shattered his profiles trying...I think
Tomsey would be the person to ask about that.

This is pete66 (using unicyclistjoes computer)... Yes Rhys does
backflips on his unicycle. In fact he'd only been able to ride a
unicycle for less than 6 months when he first landed it, he's pretty
extreme! Unfortunately I didn't get any footage of the backflip while I
was in Australia, I kinda realised that they were making their own
video and it didn't feel right for me to "take it", even though I don't
think Rhys really cared either way.

I do have some footage I could post from when Rhys did a standing
backflip while holding my $6500 camera...

I don't think Rhys rides anymore 🙁

That would be the Rhys with a '04 KH, right? From Melbourne?

Of course the person the does the backflip has no footage. I mean how
hard would a backflip be on a unicycle. You wouldn't need to film that.
Come on. I want to see this if it has been done.

I hope that's not right, where's Tomsey? Rhys was riding an 05KH with
profiles when I met up with him... he got all his stuff pretty cheap
though so probably is the same Rhys (Kember?). I think he was on the
brink of moving from Melbourne to Sydney...

He's a cool guy, modest and chilled out. He was right into his BC
wheeln, doing heaps of stuff I haven't seen in any vids. And on his uni
he was doing crankflips, 360 unispins, seatdrag & pretty much anything
else (backflips) within a couple of tries. That was all with less than
8 months of apparently on & off riding under his belt :eek:

Before you all go out and try hitting backflips, be aware that Rhys was
carrying on with various foot fractures and scars to show for all his
utter lack of fear. Quite funny reading this thread knowing it'd
already been done before the thread existed 🙂

I'v been hearing a lot about this Rhys guy, 9 stair rail on a bc wheel,
Uni backflips, insane street moves...Wheres the footage guys? This guy
sounds like he has no fear of sudden death.

this "masked" man of unicycling sounds to me like when he "reveals"
himself to the world he won't be able to live up to the hype.

Yeah, bummer, I landed a double backflip the other day but I don't have
a video camera. You can ask my neighbor, tho, he was watering his lawn
when I did it. And, no, you don't need no stinkin' trampoline, just
some helium in your tire and a shock on your seatpost.

i have attempted frontflips
into water
i might could have landed the first one on the ground, but it is hard
to get the uni to rotate w/ you

there is a picture of it on my myspace
(www.myspace.com/stephenskrobarczyk)

there is a video of it somewhere, but I havn't seen it... i didn't land
it either
its just a frontflip into water whilst on a unicycle
a few ppl have done that
