ATC Back Flip "Maybe Jacob Hall"

[NeverLift]

Something I've thought about for a long time. However i'm in NOOOOOOO! condition to do it. We would need someone young, talented, fearless and possibly a hookup on custom suspension. So looking thru pictures and I keep seeing Jacob Hall going HUGE. I don't know him and have never met him but he seems to fit the build perfect.

I believe these are both him.

Can we start a fund raised to get him to a foam pit or build him one. He would be the biggest Badass on the face of this earth.(back flipping a banned, outlawed, illegal death trap :lol:)
Who knows if he could master it we would probably see him traveling the world on the Crusty Demons Global Assault Tour.

would be cool to see.

Lollolololol

I don't think Jason and sandy would approve.

[250rRoostmaster]

Rob Ray would be a good candidate! That guy is a savage on a trike

[Billy Golightly]

I don't think Jason and sandy would approve.


Poor Jason is already a wreck watching Jacob ride most of the time..lol

^^^^ Pretty much this. Jacob is still in high school, and yes, he does go as big as anyone I've ever seen.

We have been tossing this idea around for years too. Kintore will do it if you give him a foam pit to practice - just never had access to one. Jake the Snake probably would too.

Rray (Chickenhawk) has already been mentioned in this thread he is amazing and fearless. Jensen is another one that has gone really huge, and he does cool trike arial tricks. I know he's done some stuff off a very large ramp. That wasn't too many years ago, but both of those guys are into their 40's now, so we're not talking about a spring chicken(hawk) here.

I also can't leave out Brandon (3leggeddog) when throwing out names of legendary 3 wheeled arial acrobats.

But those might be the only guys I have seen go 60+ feet in the air. Who am I forgetting?? West coasters?
There's a kid in Cali currently doing some amazing jumps in the dunes, unfortunately I haven't got to see him fly yet.

Am I leaving anyone out? Maybe some of those guys will "jump in" this thread and comment.

Jacob Hall is one amazing rider. He won the first round of the NE-EDT race series yesterday and I am sure he will whoop up on the old guys in round 2 today as well.

Congrats on the win man.

Jacob is amazing. He only gets better!!

I love that he loves trikes but I am surprised no quad sponsors have tried to pick him up! Especially at Unadilla Nationals last year.....

[Jason Hall]

NO BACK FLIPS!! LOL.. I hope he doesn't read this!

[oscarmayer]

The guy in the video looks like he would have landed it!! I'd love to see it on dirt; Sooner or later someone will do it.

I messaged Travis Pestrana a few years back but got no response : (

Back when they did the first backflip, my wife and I was watching. My eyes lit up, and at the time I was doing quite a bit freestyling on the bike. Cheryl looked at me with the most serious look, and said "I don't care what you do, but if I ever find out you try that, I will change the locks and you will never come in this house again". So went my dreams of flipping :cry:

I was at the local MX track yesterday with my buddy's 7 year old who was preparing for his first ever race. We are hosting a national event here this weekend. As we're waiting for our turn to run a young man landed short on a double and went away on a board. I don't know how bad he's hurt, but it looked "grave". Made me want to throw up. I've never done a double and at 49 its time to get it out of my head. My lower backs hurts just from a trip through the whoops.

So here we are watching a guy who likely has lost his ability to walk for the rest of his life being hauled off and I my buddy locked eyes as we glanced towards his kid at the same time. We didn't have to say anything, he knew what I was thinking and I knew what he was dealing with. In the end we did the typical male thing and shrugged it off like it was an anomaly and not the norm.

When the ambulance returned we fired the 50cc beast and watched him run with the other 10 kids. Poor little tikes were crashing all over the place as our track is basically a groomed pile of rocks. Fat, out of shape father were running back and forth across the track screaming at their kids to go faster and not slow down while approaching some very intimidating jumps. Looking at these guys I was thinking most of them couldn't do what they were encouraging their kids to do. Midlife crisis parents looking for their kids to do what they couldn't or didn't. Today they returned for the real deal.

Any one reading this and thinking they should push someone else to seek fame and fortune by doing what they suggest should take note. The guy on the stretcher likely has a father who will have to live the rest of his life knowing he was the one who bought his kid his first bike and pushed him to run hard at the doubles.

wow. heavy stuff. can't look at it that way, amigo. can't stay in the bubble. its sad, scary, sobering when someone takes a big hit. but, its the game we play. people die on the golf course and on the couch. someone will backflip because they can. thats where the envelope is right now. someone wants to be "the guy". and someone WILL do it. i don't know jason or jacob. but i've heard of both of em. which is more than they'ed say of me. i suspect that the sensitivity around the subject of jacob flipping is due to the familiarity and respect jason has in the community. i respect the hell out of both of them. jacob is a super hero, weather he flips or not. but, if you start to look at things through a "he might get hurt" lens, then you might as well get us all off these death machines right now.

PS - i hope the guy that got hurt is doing better. the prayers of my family are with his.

Please don't think I'm telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do. It's the people egging them on to do things they won't themselves I have issue with. If a 7 year old wants to take a run at a double let him, but to see a parent push a reluctant kid into it is what I have issue with. In other news my little 7 year old buddy was third to the first turn out of 23 competitors in the first moto and second in the second moto.:)
