    Smile Front flip!

    X games this year is going to be so epic if these guys show up!

    If a man is walking in a forest and no women is there to hear him is he still wrong?

    didnt they lower the front forks when Dechamp had a go at it hard to tell in this video. Its kinda sideways forward roll aposed to the full on front flip done at last X games. But still way impressive.

    Yeah Dechamp's front forks are compressed, he did land it to and is in the world record books as the first to do it.

    These guys how ever have no mods on the front forks, they just man handle the bike which is why it goes of axis a bit, but looks sooooooo sick.

    Here is Dechamps version, much cleaner but not as impressive.

    They should put a tree stump at the end of the ramp, works for me every time.
