| backflip 360 | Zach Shaw 1993 Zach, march 2005: I came up with the idea after doing the Mansfield Demo with Mat Hoffman in 1990 where he pulled the first flair, it got me thinking that a 540 flair was possible but I had to learn flips first ! ... when I finally got the opportunity to learn flips I started messing with flipping and spinning (on a jump), I could do 180 flips no problem but getting the extra rotation was really hard and I never could get more than flip 270's until I went too the jump at Crowhurst in Hastings. When I first jumped at Crowhurst I realised that this was THE jump i could do it on, I didn't say anything to anyone there and just rode in to try it, the first one i rotated full 360 and landed then my back wheel slid out, the second attempt the same thing happened on the third attempt I landed sideways and blew the spokes out of my back wheel and had the wind taken out of me as I landed on my ribs, this footage is on a rare video called WASTED II, possibly available from Custom Riders in the UK? I vowed to pull the trick the very next weekend ! When I went back to Crowhurst it took me 2 attempts to pull the 360flip (zakflip) which was documented by DIG magazine.

| bike flip | Brad Blanchard was attempting bikeflips in 1989. The Brad Blanchard bikeflip had been a complete huck-and-hope until 2004. Senad Grosic laid claim to the trick over a box and Morgan Wade let one fly over the spine during the X-Games X in Los Angeles. Morgan Wade, Ride BMX US, december 2004: Nathan Wessel was trying it on the vert ramp and I thought it was pretty cool. He said, "Why don't you try it?" so I tried it twice in the foam. Once I threw the bike away and I thought it wasn't going to work, but then Nate said something about how to throw the bike. I tried again and pretty much landed on the pedals in the foam. I just wanted to see how it felt, because I had never tried it before. Fifteen minutes later I pulled it on the resi and 15 minutes after that I pulled it on the box to pedals. It's way easier over the spine. It's just a little bit of a low awkward landing, that's all. You don't jump forward: you just go straight up, do it, and go straight down. Going over the box you have to drift over the whole deck, so it makes it a little difficult to get the rotation right. When I first learned it I had both gloves on and it was working since my grips were worn in real well. But then when I put new grips on I couldn't do the trick anymore because my hands were sticking to my grips. I went to get a drink of water and a light bulb went off in my head. I put my hands under the fountain, got my gloves soaking wet, and then pulled it first try. So that's the key-get your gloves wet, with new grips, anyway. Eventually I took the gloves off and just got my hand wet. Sweat works better. anyway, because it doesn't dry out as fast as water. I tried a 360 bikeflip into the foam, but it didn't work out. It seems like you could try a regular three and come around like a three-whip. I don't know how you'd hang onto the bike. Morgan Wade superman bikeflip 2005.

| busdriver | Chris Moeller did busdriver in 1989 at an ABA National race in Reno Nevada. He was already doing x-ups and one handed x-ups, so he figured, why not going all the way around ? Although he had already done them off picnic tables, his first busdriver on dirt was at this race and he pulled the first one. Chris Moeller, www.thecomeupboard.com, december 2008: People had been done bar spins out of fly-outs but I was the first to do them over doubles as far as I know. We called it a busdriver because at the time the S&M team van was a VW bus and the bar-spin looked like someone doing a U-turn with that big flat steering wheel. |

| hardflip | www.expn.com, march 2011: 24-year-old Ingvar Neumann of Tartu, Estonia is the first person to land BMX's first lateral bike flip. Dubbed the "Neu Flip" by the organizers of Simpel Session, Neumann refers to the trick as "HD, for Heavy Drug, High Definition and Happy Day." The trick, a flyout style jump in which the bike is laterally flipped 360 degrees in the air underneath the rider, was pulled on home turf by Neumann and uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday, March 23. "I hope that I am the first one who has ever landed this trick on the planet," said Neumann on his personal blog. "Somebody has probably done it and I am the only who doesn't know that," he added, "but who cares." The trick has been attempted by riders for years using trampoline bikes, and was featured in the 2001 video game "Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2" as the original version of the trick now known as the bike flip. Riders such as T.J. Lavin and Jody Donnelly have reportedly also attempted the "neu flip" in the past. Neumann is the first to land the trick clean to the pedals, and provide documented evidence of the pull. Ingvar Neumann, soulbmxmag.com, march 2011: The first time when i tried to make that was about an year ago when i saw my friend doing that on trampoline. I was so obsessed to try that thing on my own bike. It seemed to be impossible but so cool that time. Few days ago i went for it. It took about 3 hours... whole practicing and testing. It's very hard to get the bike spinning. And this trick took life from my handlebar on the 2nd attempt ( i was thinking about quitting) |

| tabletop | Despite rumors that Johnny Tabletop first did it in 1968, the first tabletop ever recorded on film was of David Clinton on his Kawasaki at Saddleback. The date? July, 1975. One footed TableTop by Timmy Judge in 1980. Brad McDonald, www.vitalbmx.com, september 2006: My foggy memory is that a Judge was originally a lookback, but Harry Leary claimed the trick (The Leary), so Tim Judge found something new to claim (a one-footed table). At least that's how I remember BMX Action presenting it. Seems hard to believe that someone could claim to invent the one-footed tabletop, but I guess someone had to be first. I'm sure being sponsored by Hutch or Diambondback back then helped with "naming rights" for tricks. |

| tailwhip | Darren Whitfield, www.radbmx.co.uk, may 2007: I'm from Barnsley in South Yorkshire. Many may dispute this but I THINK (and if I'm wrong don't jump on me) I invented the Tailwhip Jump. Southsea Skatepark around 83 I was trying to do a Can Can jump out of the bowl just in front of the main key hole bowl that everyone jumps out of. As I was practicing them my foot slipped off the other pedal as I stepped over the frame and the frame unintentionally spun round which gave me the idea. Next time I tried to do it and I meant to kick the frame round but didn't get my feet back on the pedals. Anyway, after many attempts I managed to get my feet back on the pedals and ride out which I think was probably one of the first Tailwhip Jumps. Albeit not as high or as stylish as they do it these days. Jess Dyrenforth did witness it if he remembers but no photographer was there at the time so you only have mine, Dave Slade's and Jess D's word for it. I did learn it in one day and I did again many times after. However, because I wasn't a high profile rider no big deal was made of it. Action Bike rarely ventured up north as many will testify so after doing it at Southsea no one else would see me when I got back home. Mat Hoffman was pulling them on dirt in 1990.

BMX Action january 1982: You don't need a degree in grammar to figure out where the X-up (pronounced ex-up) tag come from. To 180 the bars you have to bring your arms across your chest in a big X. |
