good life insurance.

just because travis pastrana can do it doesn't mean you can. he's got years and years in FMX and has a foam pit to practice in.

honestly this is the stupidest idea i've heard of on here. a kx65 doesn't have the power to do it either. atleast i don't think

Hit high powerband at the lip of the jump or top of the ramp and proceed to pull back at hard as you can. But first, get a friend to film it and go ahead and have 911 dialed on the phone.

bro dont do it,  people do it on smaller bikes like yours but if you have no clue how to do it,  u have no business even tryin it with out a foam pit.  But if you choose to try it,  wear a very good helmet, a leatt brace,  have an ambulance and yeah just dont do it.

yeah.. backflips are not something you should attempt at all until you are one hundred percent comfortable on a bike and in the air on that bike. just the fact that you are asking about here proves to me you are not ready, i doubt anyone here is ready for a backflip. any trick that will put you upside down and under your bike is extremely dangerous and could end you up dead, or paralyzed for life.

Unless you want to build a foam pit and work up to it don't attempt this; you will end up trashing your bike and putting yourself in the hospital or worse.

dave's right. when TP teaches someone to flip, he starts them out on a BMX bike in a foam pit, then a small bike in a foam pit, then small bike on dirt, then full size bike in foam pit, and then full size bike on dirt. Just go up to the ramp and mid speed and once your half way up the ramp, go all wide open and throw your body backwards for all your worth. But u really should start in a foam pit.

alright, when doing a backflip you must haave an amazing jump that you get air on. first you lean back while in air! if you dont lean back ur *** and keep pulling back and leaning while in air! if not casue of serous injury or death! make sure you have an ambulence near by.
