Very Nice

+1 on the hard landing, but almost perfect considering it was his first time.

Very nice! I wish i had the balls to do tricks like that.
Keep up the good work. I hope to see you at a few monster truck shows during half time doing your flips!!

Wasn't this the same canadian guy in a recent video on a 300EX? He was busting cordova's, strippers, and all these other technical tricks over this small jump. It wouldn't surprise me if it is the same guy cuz either way this guy definitely has an "outside the box" approach to riding :scary:

That's sweet. If you wan't to see a harse landing, check out the very end of Huevos 7 - The first clip on the "spoof reel".

Guetter bites a backflip dive-bomber style... if anyone has ever seen the backflips he did at the Snow Resort 9I think they were his first ones), he ALMOST bites it the same way, but this time he actually does.

He doesn't get hurt though, he just gets pissed off and throws his goggles.

when jon ate it on dirt in Irvine he broke his collarbone yes. that was scary, as soon as he left the ramp it was all panic rev. he's pretty lucky he walked away with just that.

They're not the ONLY people to do it, theres got to be someone else in this GIANT world who has done it, just not known.

Just like my friend think, Travis Pastrana is the ONLY PERSON IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD to do a double backflip. And he agrues with me to this day that a video of an some Italian guy (unknown rider) doing a doublebackflip is FAKE. And its not. LOL!

He's such a die-hard dirtbike fan, I want to punch him in the face because he thinks out of the millions of ATV/DIRTBIKE riders in the world, not one but pastrana has done the double backflip. "WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, NOBODY HAS EVEN ATTEMPTED IT!!!"

Pffft, retard.
