Awesome but how is it wtf?

[–]r_HOWTONOTGIVEAFUCK 14 points15 points ago

WTF is it doing here?

[–]oatwife 17 points18 points ago

Try r/awesome. I think this would go well there.

Travis Pastrana's cousin "Special" Greg from Nitro Circus. His nickname comes from the crazy stunts he's able to pull that catches everyone off guard.

[–]pepitko 1 point2 points ago

That's why the trick is also called the "special flip."

[–]0masterdebater0 2 points3 points ago

it really is

[–]ph133710101 1 point2 points ago

How do you do that without destroying your balls?

[–]canitoy 1 point2 points ago

How do you know he didn't?

[–]sk8fogt 1 point2 points ago

he kickflipped himself

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Looks painful the way he landed.

[–]callmeRichard 0 points1 point ago

That's what I was thinking.

[–]daturkel 0 points1 point ago

I think his feet hit the ground before the bike does, softening the blow

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah, I can see it now that I look closer!

How do you learn to do this? It's such an all or nothing thing.

[–]MadMau5 4 points5 points ago

It was his first time riding BMX, and he was just trying shit out.

[–]Squeekme 0 points1 point ago

Foam pit maybe. I dunno.

[–]LioydJour 0 points1 point ago

I like to believe the only reason i cant do that is because i have balls, and that they would hurt or break if i sat down/stuck the landing as hard as he did.

[–]OMROKER 0 points1 point ago

No fukn way

[–]tyjohns324 0 points1 point ago

Impressive that he didn't crush his nuts on the bike set

[–]hobitopia 0 points1 point ago

Well... I will never be this good at ANYTHING.

[–]bmxican99 0 points1 point ago

looks like scotty crammer

[–]Nosirrom 0 points1 point ago

This isn't WTF. Seriously. I love bmx and I know this is some really cool stuff but this isn't something that can make me lose my lunch. Sorry.

[–]holeycrap 0 points1 point ago

He's landing on a resi. It's a ramp with a thick pad, like a wrestling mat. You learn tricks into a foam pit, then move to the resi, them onto a real deck. I've learned a lot of stuff that way.

[–]Maboz 0 points1 point ago

This is old, its from when Special-Greg first started figuring this trick out. Now he nails it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOzpSWui3No

[–]iffe 0 points1 point ago

Not to take away from his unique and amazing trick, but I don't think he's "nailed it" if his foot touches down on the landing. In a competition that wouldn't even count as a landed trick.

[–]Maboz 0 points1 point ago

I have never judged a BMX comp so I have no clue, but if It was MX it would definitely count as a landed trick. But the video I linked is his first time ever landing the trick, I think he has nailed it clean after that.

[–]iffe 0 points1 point ago

I've been riding BMX for a long time and basically foot/feet on the ground = not landed. Same as skateboarding.

[–]VersatileLight 0 points1 point ago

I have seen some sweet body flips, but this is just sick.

I'M SICK OF GIFS
