  1. Let the games begin *(Feb 7th)*. Rules are as per usual.

    •YOU CAN NOT HAVE LANDED A DOUBLE FLIP BEFORE.
    •FIRST PERSON TO LAND IT(CLEAN) AND GET THE VIDEO ONLINE WINS.
    •YOU MUST LAND IT CLEAN ENOUGH TO PLEASE THE OTHER COMPETITORS.
    •IT MUST BE LANDED ON FLAT GROUND TO COUNT.
    •YOU MAY HOP ONCE AFTER THE FLIP.

    Along with first place, a second, third, and fourth place will be
    awarded. So don't give up after someone posts their video.

    _PLEASE_ try and make your video clips somewhat enjoyable.... Even tho
    its a race it is much nicer to watch a well made video than a scrappy
    half ass clip of your first double.

    awesome... I'm boggled. Thanks.

    ::Good luck!!::

  4. not that I'm participating... but shouldn't you also define what counts
    as a double and whats not? I'd say it has to go around clearly 1.75
    times around at least and needs to be shown in slow mo. Just a
    thought...

    Edit: good luck to you all

    I think it needs to go around(clearly) 2 full times. cranks should land
    on 3-9 or damn near it.
    Slow mo is definitely a good idea, but not fully needed if you can
    still see clearly its a double.

  10. Ok I got back from school and have been out for about 20 mins. Its a
    pretty cool trick, I had good fun learning it. I managed to land quite
    a few. I will edit what I got now. It will probably take me a while
    because I am pretty new to adobe premiere, I will add some music and
    effects and stuff. If anyone can get theres up before me they can have
    it. It seems a bit unfair that alot of people probably havnt been out
    to try it yet, Im just glad it wasnt won by the time I got here.

    The only advice I can give is start your kick with your cranks at the
    2/8 position and jump up with your back foot so you get more air time
    pulling up on the saddle. Good luck.

    Fav. Fruit: apple

    I don't think I stand much of a chance considering that we got almost a
    foot of snow over night, and I won't have a good place to ride for a
    while. Also since somebody has already landed it before I even saw the
    thread, which wouldn't have been for a few more hours if I didn't have
    a snow day.

    Its the taking part that counts, Just compete with those who havnt

    If your gonna put it in quotes the least you could do is write what was
    actually said... and personally I don't see how it is ridiculous.

    No hops are best of course, but considering its a new trick for
    everyone playing I don't feel that they should have to be "perfect"

    I don't know what your problem with the doubleflip comp is, you've been
    quite cynical about the whole thing.

    I'm not saying you have to be on the same page as everyone, but if your
    going to make comments like that, please try to explain yourself a bit
    more.

    ANYWAY,

    Good job Marcus.
    Its been quite rainy here all day... hopefully I can get a chance to go
    out and try before dark or snow.

  17. I think you can hop how many hop you want after doing the double... Some
    people don't care about how clean it looks.

    That's just my point🙂 No hop is always better for sure, but when's
    it's your first time doubleflipping, you wouldn't care about hop(s).

    Sorry, my english is really bad...I should take english class again...

    Not sure about your software. I could guide you through if it were a
    mac...🙄

    I made a little video of the short little bit of time I had while the
    sky wasnt leaking. The vid shows the stormy weather closing in over my
    head while I rushed to try and land it.... my camera started getting a
    bit too wet for my liking and I packed it up. Maybe I will go into
    town and ride under the overhang after the shops close up...

    Here is my video for now..... Oh so close: http://www.vimeo.com/672272

    okay sorry, I thought were arguing that there should be NO hops. I
    think anyone competing to land a double is prolly good enough that one
    hop should be plenty.
