Wow, that was crazy! Good advertising for COC too, I wanna go and try :P

Good for Mike, but he certainly didn't "create" it like it says in that vid.

Woooo, it's a new trick because it's on a mountain bike! Nevermind that it got done ON A QUARTER like 4 years ago, and a bunch of times since. :rolleyes:

It's gonna hurt if his front wheel slips and he lands balls first on the cable.

Crazy trick for sure. but it doesn't have any style to it (yet) so i cant really say i like it.

WOooooooo THINK POSITIVE! Give Paul B a 10/10 for an unlanded flipwhip attempt at Sea Otter! It's Mountain Biking, so it's the thought that counts!

lol ron, work on your delivery dude.. sarcastic wanker.
however, he does kinda sorta just a tiny little bit have a point.. but he just can't see past his nose on this subject.
this trick has been bagged already, just not on a mountain bike (thats been documented?).. and for mike to work on and figure out the technique and timing that is put into a trick like this? is much appreciated both as a rider and a spectator.
there are a few different influences in the sport of mtbing.. some mtber's look at FMX.. some look at BMX … we are in the middle of these two sports i feel.. and its only natural we draw inspiration from one or the other.
why all this bitching Ron? yeah you have a point.. but you're also missing the full picture by finding fault in the frame it sits inside, no ones perfect..

Antagonist anyone?………………

To be fair the fault is with the industry and the filmers and their description, not with Mike; he pushes it pretty fucking hard and good for him. BUT, the trick is burly enough as it is without being a world's first, so we don't need to sell it as such. Nobody "created" tailwhips on mountain bikes, or backflips…

ride your bike.

in the mountains, preferably.

It's like in High school, you guys remember? …..at the end of the day not anyone I know of listened to this one particular student any longer, not the teachers and not the students, and the chicks did not either - so basically it is just a matter of time.

Oh, and sick trick.

ride your bike.

in the mountains, preferably.

…without a helmet.
