Rebeaud, Front flip soon

[199_fmx]

just read at www.redbull.com Mat Rebeaud said to watch out for a front flip from him soon. aswell as 360 variations. but FRONT FlIP.. DAM...

i have been giving it thought lately and ive been thinking that we might see the front flip this year. Rebeaud is insane though.

its going to be an insane year for fmx

[Alistair]

personally i think the front flip is the only trick that can't be pulled on a dirt bike, no matter how hard they try, getting the bike to spin will be so dam hard.

Anyway good luck to him

[ash_50]

Yeh I read the interview, sounds awesum aye, and to win the comp he did a 1 handed underflip which is insane..!!!

[199_fmx]

well there was a time when i agreed with you. then i saw nc3 and theres streetbike tommy who doesnt ride fmx at all trying fronties on an old dunger.
i think someone with rebeauds bike skill can do it. well we can only wait and see

[ash_50]

And also a couple years back even backflips were seen impossible now look we got backflip cordovas, flip cliffys and tonnes of other combos....So I rekn we will be seeing front flips by the end of the year.

[jimmy#82]

i am not lieing when i say a guy in sydney has done one into water.
a front flip that is.
it is possible.
Jimmy RFDmx

[xXno.reasonXx]

would it work if u went up the ramp and at the last minute lean 4ward and squeeze the frount brakes

[click_click]

yeh i think it would help a bit. personnaly i saw it coming lol. i also predict the 360 flatspin as in 3-0 in bmx language. as well as stripper flips. and heelclicker 360's

[199_fmx]

Vids Pics? did you see it? what was the rotation like?
as for hitting the front brakes. i dont hit ramps but my thought is you could possibly get the rotation withought hitting them. and they might just make the jump unco

[Tanti]

Mmm yeh, If guys on bmx can do em I dont see why motos cant. I rember when everyone was like, Its physically inpossible.. But yeh, I recon it would look good for a bit but I dont think f flips look natural liek a backie..

Marto

[hall91]

I dont think f flips look natural liek a backie..
that is true

[1madgerman]

im with jimmy i seen it there was a video of it floating around somewhere all he did was seat bounched it then lent forward made it right round sweet into water.

[199_fmx]

Mmm yeh, If guys on bmx can do em I dont see why motos cant. I rember when everyone was like, Its physically inpossible.. But yeh, I recon it would look good for a bit but I dont think f flips look natural liek a backie..

Marto

I agree fully. backflips look so dam natural now. but who knows what the future will bring

[fox00mt]

we don't know what the future will bring but guy !!! the front flip ??? do it in the water ok but on the earth it's not the same, look at the Dbl Backflip, travis has allready do it, but he don't want to do it another time for the moment.

my opinion is that the front filp is not possible on the earth

[max]

I totally think that a frontie is possible. What will be interesting is what the style of frontflip will be. For example... the first frontflips on a bmx were super low, whereas now days guys are boosting into them. I think having the right suspension set up would make the initial rotation easier..... it will eventually happen, its just a matter of time

[Rhodesy]

yea no front rebound but max rebound on back

[DoorMatt]

i reacon its possible but its be damn hard. people can do it on pushys easy so someone will probably do it o na 50 cause enough popl ride em like a pushy, then people will probably do it on like a 110 or something and thats when itll seem possible haha just work oyur way up i reacon lol.

and seeing as i can frontflip a trampbike then of course they can do it... (sorry im just kinda stoked that i pulled one yesterday so i thought id brag hahaha)

[M.r Mulisha]

if it can be done on a pushy then it can be done on a moto simple as that
i guess it just a case of skill timing and seatbouncing to get the rotation right
it seems anything is possible now days

[tp_199]

if it does go down its gunna have to be on a big steep kicker to have the time to rotate

[HONDA_BOY]

i am not lieing when i say a guy in sydney has done one into water.
a front flip that is.
it is possible.
Jimmy RFDmx

I no this is true, It happened Down At White Rock Quarry. Ive seen the Video, but ive lost the damn thing ill keep searching but.

It is possible tanti haha ....But i guess u wont believe it till u see it.

as lars said all he did was seat bounce and preload lean over the front and boom

[Evanzie #23]

Havent even read any posts but i'm having my say..

After watching NC3 with street bike tommy trying them into water off a comp ramp on an old ag bike and getting it upside down. Made me think off a super kicker with some pop and an MX bike. Its possible.

[glewy_kx]

i reakon its possible 4 sure!! i reakon pastrana will b pulling it!!!he can do anythin!!haha but yeh i reakon its possible

[dial000]

My though on front flips is...


they gotta be ****ing mental to ever try one haha.
Even into a foam pit is nuts... like pulling a 90kg bike the opposite way that the ramp is kicking you into a 360 revolution... thats gnarly.

Rhys

[gloverfmx411]

some dude tryed it into foam on a 50 and got 3/4 the way around and bailed, i dunno if they'd be able to swing a 250 around. the guy on the 50 had hard enough trouble, i posted a video on here awhile back.

Edit, found the link http://media.putfile.com/marcus_front_flip_2

[wade2]

if it can be done on a pushy then it can be done on a moto simple as that

i dont think thats true cause its a hell of a lot easier to through your weight forward on like a 10kg then it is to throw your weight forward on a 90kg bike
because if you watch bmxers they have to throw all the weight forward to get a good rotation, you would spin hell slow on a moto

[bear_beckett]

yer i rekon pastranan will hav it be for any one els

[robbo]

NOOOOO!!! now the sport of FMX is really being spoilt now with this front flip bullcrap!! i mean just seeing a front flip on a dirtbike would look just gay, its alright for a BMX coz its smaller than the actuall guy riding it but on a dirtbike i reckon it would just look shit house!!

[The Snitz]

lol!! Well that's the lamest excuse I've heard for someone wanting to not see something absolutely rediculous on a Moto in a sport that is defined by Progression. If someone does manage to pull off a front flip on a 50, and a big bike even into water or foam, you better keep your hands over your eyes because you sound like you'll be disappointed rather than having your jaw on the ground in awe.

[robbo]

im not saying if it happens i'll never go on the internet or waatch dirtbike movies or something, im just saying i dont like the front flip like some people dont like the backflip!

[hutchie]

hahaha i think it's funny that the first post in the thread went along the lines of yeah matts gonne b trying the FRONT FLIP!!!!!!! and some 360 variations........hahahaha just made me laugh but anyway, i think a front flip on a 250 would be crazy and best of luck to the guy if he ends up trying it to dirt some day

[Molez01]

tonnes of ppl hav already eatin there own words sayin sumthings rn't possible on a bike honestly the backy cliffhanger that defise physics n how can u call it a good year they r always rippin out nu stuff every year n tp's a nut unless sum1 gives him sum behavour managment drugs which he needs he'll if not the 1st one of the 1st ppl 2 but X games can't wait it'll b insane like it is every year

[jumpinJak]

yer i agree its only a matter of time.. the sport keeps getting more and more insane, hope we see it tho coz it would b the maddest thing eva next 2 pastranas double backie

[ash_50]

i dont think thats true cause its a hell of a lot easier to through your weight forward on like a 10kg then it is to throw your weight forward on a 90kg bike
because if you watch bmxers they have to throw all the weight forward to get a good rotation, you would spin hell slow on a moto

You look at pastrana in NC2....He does a 720 into the pit on 250, now if he has the strength to do that i Srsly rekn he cud have the strength to do a front flip

[199_fmx]

hahaha i think it's funny that the first post in the thread went along the lines of yeah matts gonne b trying the FRONT FLIP!!!!!!! and some 360 variations........hahahaha just made me laugh but anyway, i think a front flip on a 250 would be crazy and best of luck to the guy if he ends up trying it to dirt some day

All i said was he said to watch out for the front flip from him. just what i read thats all.. might of sounded that way though i spose

[#000]

Brad Vine was the name of the guy that did the fronty into water out at white rock. He was in freerider a few issue's back when him and his mates did a big trip into the out back lookin for natural hits...

From what i heard he got almost all the way around, like if it was onto dirt he would have landed hell nose high and probably crashed, BUT it would still have been rubber side down. That was with just one attempt by a local freerider into a dam. So of course a pro rider wif a foam pit and heaps of attempts at it is going to get it down, its only a matter of time.

Luv Joel.

[TravisPastrana]

hey guys. ive been trying them into the pit since the ending of filiming of nc3 and might i say it is much harder to do them. the weight of the bike and also knowing the right moment to push forward play key factors in getting the full rotation. but might i also add i have figured these problems out and im getting very close to getting the full rotation. id say im probably getting 3/4 of the way around.

[allbonesbroken]

that tommy guy got half upside down on a farm bike lol with parts missing by the look of it so if he can get upside down should be able to do it on a big bike r u really tp ^^^ just wondering

[hall91]

hey trav can you please post up a video

[jump moto...]

if that is trav... hell i duno wat i wuld do... lol haha

[rm125kid]

yes i think TP is a top condender for the front flip, and yes i think it is possable.....but i think it will be like the double flip, something that happens once and then not much will happen with it

[TravisPastrana]

sorry guys i think im gonna make it like the double backflip, ill leave it till i put out nc4.

[Molez01]

holly sh!t is that tp 4 real and if it is wheres the luv y u ain't came out 2 Aus?

[tp_199]

so this is the tp guy that has been floating round haha it will be good to c aye "travis"

[GStylEr]

You don't type too well for someone who finished school 3 years early and got a diploma in Communications...

[jump moto...]

hahaha.... gstyler.. lol funny funny

[tp_199]

sumthing up with old travis here haha

[Evanzie #23]

So i was just wondering Travis. How long have you been in QLD using bigpond internet for?

[The Snitz]

lol he's a highflyer mate :p

[ash_50]

Jeez such a co-ink-i-dink how travis just became a member in may 2006??

[phat_pat]

lol he's a highflyer mate :p
haha steve, he sent me that PM back and he said that he was actually TP, and i believed him:o i shoulda listened to you lol.

pat

[mcrkrew]

hahaha everyone is so negative! Anything is possible, i knew the double back was possible and everyone else doubted it and travis threw that shit down and now Caleb and Nate are talkin about huckin one, a front flip could very well be possible, im with jimmy on this one. We'll just have to wait and see.

[199_fmx]

We'll just have to wait and see.

Where did you read that nate is talking about doin it?

[weeman_911]

hey in the new freerider nate says that hes not goin 2 try a double flip for a while because he thinks he doesnt need to coz noone is probly gunna be able 2 stay on the bike on a normal setup

[freekstyle]

yeah thats what i read aswell^^^

[199_fmx]

ohh i cant wait for freerider. does nate comment on any new tricks he has?

[weeman_911]

hahaha everyone is so negative! Anything is possible, i knew the double back was possible and everyone else doubted it and travis threw that shit down.

hey i knew that travis would huck a double flip to dirt because its gotta be done someday for our sport to progress.

[nut]

I never thought that a front flip would be possible on a dirt bike, just goes to show how hard the sport is being pushed and how far the sport has come in such a short time span

[metalmulisha_88]

Ive done it..... superfly on ps2 :headbang9 lol thats wat it will look like..

[_fmx_]

personally i think the front flip is the only trick that can't be pulled on a dirt bike, no matter how hard they try, getting the bike to spin will be so dam hard.

Anyway good luck to him

yet in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 every1 was saying it would be impossible to backflip a dirt bike no matter how hard they tryd
- T o M -

[KTMracer]

Its do-able.

[collimi]

personally i think the front flip is the only trick that can't be pulled on a dirt bike, no matter how hard they try, getting the bike to spin will be so dam hard.

Anyway good luck to him

yeh might be true but remember a few years ago the never thought the backflip was possible and now look at it nearly every pro can do it

[weeman_911]

yeh might be true but remember a few years ago the never thought the backflip was possible and now look at it nearly every pro can do it

yeah that may be but a frontflip is a hell of a lot different to a backflip

[collimi]

yeh i spose ur right there wee man

[Todd106]

i think pastrana will make a jump that makes it easier, just like what he did with the double, they did it in one of the nitro circuses with a bmx into a foam pit, yer we will have to wait and see.
woot 500th post

[scrubdonkey]

good luck to who ever is the bliter crazy enough to do a front flip!!!!...who woulda thought the back flip was possible a few years back...now we have the double flip and so many backflip variations...its pure common sense... some crazy bugger is gonna try the front flip, its only a matter of time...if a brain tapped street biker like tommy can pull off a flip on a bodgied up ag bike, a pro on a decent bike would hav no worries on the right kinda jump

[fmx_06]

the day that sum1 does a frontflip wil be a crazy day. the video wil be awesome to watch!!! but like weeman said, a frontflip is alot different to a backflip.

[Hevy Hitter263]

i dunno if it would be possible to pull a front flip because it would be pretty hard to grip to the tank with your legs as well as make the bike rotate frontwards, but you never know. someone is bound to think of a way of doing it...

[_fmx_]

put it this way, no matter wat everybody says is impossible, someone is gunna do it!!!!!

[ESD]

Debate like this will only inspire people to find away to do the first fmx front flip and that'll be a pretty rad day just like it was when Carey did the flip and now Pastrana with the double flip.
Leigh

[randy_rhydah_kx]

i wouldent be suprised if this has been said before but im too lazy to check.. but in nc3 when tommy p trys the front flip on that old bucket of shit he got suprisingly close like he got half the rotation and hes not even a pro rider and had no practice before hand.. so some one will be able to do it one day and alter there bikes to make it easyer.. like how pastrana got those hooks on his break and clutch lever for the super flip he altered the bike to make the trick possible so theres got to be a way to do a foward flip

[steven-150F]

anything is posible into water or foam, but having the guts and knowing where your gonna land a f-flip is mad....

[blingbling121]

obviously it will be done on a 50 first, then some one wll have the balls to do it. But i dont predict that it will b done on just any 45ft double in the future. Probly like a kinda of table top with a strange shaped lip.

[blingbling121]

what are you talkin about ?

[dylan @victoria]

i think that lightning rod has a good chance of nailing one.

[tudge199]

i think that the frontie could be pulled but its goin to take awhile thats all
its a trick like the bikeflip i think that it may just stay in the pit and go no further but we can only see

[__FMX_YZ__]

we've all had the seat bounce gone wrong and we land on your head and the bike fliped...now just imagine squeezing your legs and leaning forward. if there is a will there is a way!

[b*tch titts]

man i just want to say that would be awsome, pastrana is probably practising it now as we speak

[rm_man]

yeh i rekon travis is practicing it but i rekon it could be a 1 trick wonder sorta like chucky norris like a barely known person to land it 1st! well thats my theroy but i rekon pastrana might do it

[gloverfmx411]

did u just call chuck norris a one trick wonder? and barely known?

[rm125s]

hey i think that the fron flip will proble be a retarded trick to watch. you have to think how the heel are they going to get the bike to rotate that derection. the only thing that really come to my mind if u really can ride a bike u just have to remember this when u hit the back brake your front end dropes down that will start u off

[rm_man]

nah i didnt men it like that i meant like he became famous off the trick or well more known
