Default BackFlip!

I been thinking about attempting a blackflip on the road. Ive done it in a pit many time. Going to build a ramp and attempt it on the road. Any ideas?

I assume your talking on a rocket? That leads me to believe you will have to be at least 20 feet in the air to drag the heavier bike around as opposed to a dirt bike. Even with a well pitched landing ramp i truly believe the suspension would fail. But i dunno i guess maybe you would know better then the rest of us.

+1, i think thats your bet, not to big or step of a ramp because then you will get to high. strap your feet to the peg other wise the bike will power around and you will not go with it.

when you land apply the back break other wise you might loop out from all your angular momentum after the suspension rebounds.

wear gear and make sure there are a lot of cameras around, maybe call up stunt junkies if that show still exists.
