Snowmobile frontflip!

That's just not right. I don't know how he pulled that one off. I remember seeing the fist back flip Jim Rippey did and how much work went in to doing it, in fact I think I still have it on tape, and RUN is right, that could have ended VERY badly.

And just before him the guy doing the double backflip crashed and well they had to take him away to go get x-ray'd he might have broke his shoulder and leg.

Heck yeah Craig, Jim Rippey's back flip was on Sled Necks 4, I know I still have it on tape. He got it on the forth try IIRC, most of the work went into building the ramp in the back country....by hand..

If you watch some of the other footage of this front flip, as soon as he gets off the ramp he puts his weight forward, tucks down, and locks up the track throwing the sled forward and around.

Im glad I got to see this here, every time I turned on the X-games....it was skiing...:x

And the sound of that sled gives me goose bumps..."thumbsup"
