locogato11283 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 flips are weak, my granny learned them 3 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheeryder_69 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 freestyle is like golf or hillclimbing. gets boring quick but could you imagine the rush of actually doing a backflip? Freestyle is for the guys that came in last in MX and can't compete. 466398[/snapback] unless its pastrana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelbanshee2 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 unless its pastrana 466451[/snapback] It applies to him too..he hasnt FINISHED a race since he won the 125 class way long ago. The backflip has gotten waaaayyy old. I was mildly entertaining a couple years ago when they would do a variety of neat tricks. it almost like it was many years ago when the only tricks were heelclickers, nac nacs and can cans. except now they do those same tricks in a backflip A buddy of mine has a good analogy.

rjvoight Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 A buddy of mine has a good analogy. "freestyle is to motocross as figure skating is to hockey." 466507[/snapback] Wow, that hurts....I am not a big freestyle fan and had the thought that Freestyle was for those who could not race. Then I was up close and personal at a show, gave me a whole new respect for those guys. Watching it on TV just does not do it justice. Seeing 6 bikes jumping at the same time in opposite directions doing Kiss of deaths and whips that are basically upside down live is flat out impressive. Ive been riding/racing since I was three and I cant do a fraction of the stuff those guys put on. I tip my visor to those guys. RJV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reded Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I agree, the flip is getting old, though Pastrana did put a new twist on it with the double backflip. I don't get into freestyle too much and have much more respect for the guys who can put in 20 hard laps every weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for the 1080 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJV 466523[/snapback] No shit.. don't knock something till you've tried it or at least witnessed it in person... I work 5 days a week outa town.. bout the only thing I get to do is ride ramps unless I go to the local track and race blind.... Hitting 3 different ramps trained together facing different directions is a feeling I can't describe in words ... IMO both are about equally taxing on the body at the end of the day but the margin for error in freestyle is pretty fucking slim...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 From my point of view, both MX and freestyle riders are doing something so far beyond my level it isn't even funny. As far as backflips are concerned, even though it does get boring, the act itself takes talent, timing and big huge hairy balls. If you look closely, sometimes they are hanging off the side of the tank as the guy flips through the air. I can't say I ever get sick of seeing the back flips. I've got to see an arena MX race from one of those sky boxes, same with a freestyle show, and being there is 0908097867326423 times better in person than on TV. Plus, I can't hear the wife over the motorcycles at the arena, and here, she can mute the tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never do one... Just I get tired of knowing what trick the next rider is going to pull.... What happened to the ssg to dead body combos and shit... quads are catching up with the quickness... caleb already has the KOD indian air no hander lander in his bag of tricks.... At the last TX show Steve w. threw down a ssg to heel clicker over a 45 ft gap... down right nutty... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
