Backflip ??

[jsmith811]

I had heard that someone has landed a backflip on 250cc bike. Not carey hart, & they will attempt to repeat it at the Xgames this year ? Anyone know who ? What's the date on the Xgames this year ? any website links ?

Caleb Wyatt landed a backflip on a full-size bike last week. I think it was a 125. It wasn't pretty, but he landed it without crashing. He almost went over the bars though. ESPN included footage with the Freestyle Moto-X program that aired late last night. (I couldn't sleep, and I thought it was going to be a re-run of Budd's Creek. HONEST!) :aj:

Well How the heck did I miss that ? and when will it re-air ?? Who is this guy ? He must have Ba_ _s you couldn't carry in a dump truck.

It was Caleb Wytt, and I think Julius is right about it being a 125cc bike. It was on the 7th try on a rather small jump (compared to the other jumps we see guys in FMX doing) with a steep lip.

Nope it was a 250 and it was landed about 3 or four weeks ago.. Expn didn't buy it untill a week ago.

Nothing happens when I click on video.

You must not have windows media player installed then. Video works fine, but its not the greatest quality.

yeah, it was caleb and it was about 3-4 weeks ago, maybe longer. He did state that he was going to the X-Games this year and he also stated that he will pull off a trick larger than the back flip as well. 360 maybe?
I read all this on a FMX page.

Anyone see the picture of him upside down in the air with the bike above him? It looked like it would be pretty painful! Monstrous Cajones....simply monstrous
