Lol, i'd be impressed if he did that with a 20 year old 306  ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

i'd be impressed if he did it anything other than a car, but that's been done in pretty much everything. i bet it isn't that hard to do, not like backflipping a bmx or a motocross bike in the chucking down rain in the middle of Goyt Valley. i'm just bitter because i can't backflip my car, but still________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Back flipping a BMX isn't that hard! It's just knowing where you are in the air and spotting your landing! I do miss those days,.. Back flipping something you have no control over once you've left the takeoff is nuts! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

did you know that if you press the brakes and steer mid-air you can control it like a motocross bike still?  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

If you pull the handbrake you can make it do a 360 in the air too. |

I did this special super magic jump in my car, which bought back to life all the dead cast from 'Allo Allo' including such favourites as Kenneth Connor who played Monsieur Alfonse, and who was also famous for being in the Cary On films. They all died again in terrible ways moments after I landed the jump, except for Kenneth Connor, who is still alive but horribly mutated and living in the attic in my house. |
