BACKFLIPS

I've seen some people asking about how to do a back flip and how to build a foam pit! ARE YOU KIDDING??!!! Their's no reason for an amiture to ever try it, except for bragging rights. It's NOT WORTH IT. I'm a pro fmxer and I have tryed it. I was lucky. I didn't get hurt and my bike didn't get wrecked. Realy guys think about it, are you going to put your life on the line so you can go to school and tell everyone "I did a back flip". I probubly shouldn't say this but stick to regular tricks. The ONLY REASON to do a flip is if you are doing PRO contests. I no longer do contests so I've put it on hold.
Mike Metzger lost a testicle to it, Deegan has wadded himself, Nate Adams (the only person to beat Pastrana) Nearly KILLED himself the first time he tryed. None of us are at their level, Be smart. Keep riding.

Well i can't speak for every one but i think its becuse you see it online and moives it seems easyer then it really is. When you did contest could you do them?

NO! lol, I'm more old school. I'd like do do it some time, but now I ride for DeCoster's kids and it helps kids in school, I did everything I wanted to do in fmx, I'll always do tricks and try goin big, but FMX was good to me I went a bunch of places made good money and had fun. I've been riding since I was3 1/2 and I just turned 25. I've only had 2 "real" injurys and they weren't bad. check out www.decosterskids.com to see what we do.

So do you race now?

No, not into racing, I ride for www.decosterskids.com I go to schools and do a motivational program for the kids then I ride, hit a ramp and do ground tricks. Normaly jump about 120+ feet. And a fmx demo when I feel like it.

Kool,you should come to Grafton High School. What do you talk about like going for your dreams?

Yea and staying away from drugs. I'd like to do every school but we mainly do elem schools, High School kids think they are too cool to listen. I shut a kid down at a school that went from k-12. He was a senior trying to be cool in front of his friends, I told him my friends were the same way but they still live in my home town with their parents and I've been around the world.

Well i know im in high school and i know me and my buddies would loved it if you guys came to are school. But of coruse there are going to be jerks thinking they are kool cuse they rather smoke a joint then ride but there are kids like that in all schools. But if you intrested pm maybe i could talk to teachers or somthing.

Hey southernmostfmxer alot of friends at my school would think it would be awsome if you and decoasters kids can come to our school. I live in stuart so its only like a 5 hours away. I go to private school from preK to 10th grade. most of the kids parents dont let them do anything that could involve a scrape. ( im dead serious.) so they would think you are the coolest guy EVER. my school adress is 1300 east te street. stuart florida 34996 the phone number is 1-772-283-1222 the fax is 1-772-220-9149. ask for Dr. Cantwell or Cooper Westendarp if you want a pretty fat pay check for doing an assembly.

visit www.stmikesschool.org we are not a catholic school we just have a gay name thanks for your time.

well guys all i ahve to say is that im 17 and doing a backflip just cause was the greatest feeling of all, all i got to say is just stay commited too it dont try and back out half way up the ramp
