I think it would be very possible, alot easier than on a uni.

once I get my BC/learn how to ride it well, and find a skatepark that
has a foam pit and appropriate ramp I'll try it.

anyone know of a place like that in San Diego?

The landing would be so much harder than on a uni...on a uni you can
use the cranks to stop your rotation, on a bc it seems like you would
just slip right out unless you jam the wheel into your leg.

Ha, and miles...get good at the bc before you even start thinking about
backflips, they will be harder than you are thinking.

You know, something like.....I dunno...A disc brake or something like
that might help.

Your whole disc brake set up is going to be way to heavy to backflip
with...and I thought you were going to make it so it can't lock the
wheel.

haha

I had an idea from Evans hole riddled frame that he sold.

would it be possible to drill a bunch of holes into the bedford long
plates and have it retain their strength? I'm wondering more becuase it
would be nice when carrying it places and picking it up.

thanks,
Miles

It would look awesome slick, but it would be SO hard. Getting the
roatation would not be too hard compared to landing the thing!

Anyway, if I ever get good at BC, I sooo want to jump into one of those
foam pits. They look like good fun 🙂.

At the moment his plates are light but when you add on his beefed up
hub with a 20mm axle, the disc, calibrators and that disc brake stuff I
bet it will be more than my trials bc with bedford plates.

Drilling a lot of holes in bedfords probably would be a bad idea. If
you drill holes in the vertical part it might bend. The bottom might be
possible, I wouldnt risk it since it wouldn't take off that much
weight.

True, but with a blackflip, you are being launched into the air, The bc
will be pretty weightless to you. Its not like a hop.

I don't think so. Maybe if you were on the moon...

When people were talking about this same thing before someone who could
do standing backflips said he wouldn't try it even with heavy shoes. A
heavier BC would be harder to get to rotation in, I think.

We just have to wait, Bryan will probably be doing them in a few weeks
and he can tell us how much weight matters.🙄

True, but Bryans bc weighs more than he does. Not to mention,
backfliping on your feet is all self propelled and about 2ft off the
ground, With a bc flip, you would be aboue 5ft+ off the ground.

Hey, cool that you guys think its possible,

Ive been thinking about the rotation, if you had the right kick ramp,
you shouldnt have to worry to much about the backflip rotation? Just
wondering
