How the heck does one even begin to learn this kind of thing? It's not like "half-right" is an option...

I'm thinking longer and longer jumps over time. Then, when the rider is comfortable enough with a really far jump they can try that trick, or maybe slightly less dangerous tricks first.

There's a guy in that sport who is 15 time champ(probably the dude in the clip). That means he's been the most creative 15 years in a row. Basically you have to push yourself to the point of being as creative as that GIF 15 years in a row, and be more spectacular AND more technically sound than anyone else in the world. It's pretty mind-boggling.

Yeah, that is impressive.

I don't know how you build up to it... but you don't want to get it wrong, nope.

I wish I knew. I cant even ride a bicycle yet. But I will... oh yes I will.

First you do that whole jump with flip while holding on entirely. Then you start toe move the legs/body more in mid jump until you get that as the end result.

(I can't find the one I really wanted to show, but it will do).

Until youtube, we didn't hear much about those!
