Im going to be attempting a backflip on my bike tommarow__any tips on how to land it???

Question

tips?????

Answer 1

Go for it with a good ammount of speed and really pull the bike back, and get the rotation. It is always better to over rotate a little than under rotate and go over the bars. Spot your landing as soon as you start coming back down and stomp it.

Answer 2

don't do it, your asking for trouble

Answer 3

Honestly, I don't know.  Two wheels if you can.  If you feel like you need to bail, throw the bike away from you and get separation so it won't land on you (or you on it).   I'd recommend practicing with lake jumping, a foam pit, or a trampoline before you do it on a harder surface, just so you can get the feel for the moves.  

Sorry I can't help better....hella good luck with it though!   Check out the forums and articles at http://www.pinkbike.com and http://www.ridemonkey.com and people there can probably give you a lot better info.  

You rawk.    :o)

Answer 4

Wheels down.

Answer 5

type in that question in youtube. i'm sure there are instructional videos on how to make that trick.  

Answer 6

Stay close to the hospital, with you insurance card pinned to your waistband

Answer 7

When you're on the ramp, don't hesitate or you'll find yourself crashing in a heartbeat, splinters of bone standing stark against a bloody heap.

Answer 8

Do it, get all your friends to attempt this also.

Answer 9

I would look for a bike/skate park in your area. They usually have a foam pit specifically to help you try this safely. If you try to do this without a foam pit to practice you can seriously injure yourself. These parks usually have a trainer there to help you with pointers. There are also more advance riders there to show you how to do it and guide you in the process of learning how to do it. Also wear a helmet. Don't try to look cool. You won't look so cool when you are in a wheel chair or dead because you forgot to put on a simple helmet. They make a specific helmet for bmx/freestyle riders. Don't try to use a mountain bike helmet.

Answer 10

carefully.
