    someones got to step it up!

    us quad guys are the only ones who haven't done a backfilp yet! they've done backflips on dirtbikes,snowmobiles,jet skis, etc. so one of these pros needs to try one. if it can be done on a snowmobile it could probably be done on a quad! C'mon guys who wants to go for it?

    well it would be really hard to do though you would have to have the perfect jump to do it. I would like to see the freestylers come out with some better tricks myself.

    I MIGHT do it if I knew I had the perfect jump and I didn't have to worry about the quad.

    I think getting a quad to do a back flip is all in the jump and shock set up I think it could be done but not a "real" back flip from a regular take off jump to a regular landing like when carey tryed it.

    Ok I just thought of something to get the rotation of a back flip on a regular steep jump. It would have to be wooden or a launch ramp though. Anyways you would have it so that as you hit in your are acceleration and the ramp would have to be really slick tell you get to the top and then at the top you would have it so that you get great grip like sand paper and once the tires hit that that would get you to rotate pretty easily. I would want a good place to land it on the first try though so I know the quad won't impale me into the ground on the first try. Like a huge foam pit or do it in the winter and have about 6ft of super soft snow so that it sinks in a long ways couldn't do THAT much damage if the quad landed on top of you as long as somone could get the quad off of you and a ambulance was around.

    That would probably just shoot you forward more then cause rotation. Deffinatly chew up some tires.
