Josh Sheehan - Triple Backflip

It's coming, but yeah... when?

Insane! He is so high up in the air!

Even if everything goes "perfect" it could still be disastrous. That's a long free-fall.

"Thoughts?" you should try the homepage once in awhile

*slow clap*

I would agree with your statement.

Meh.......

Wow. I love seeing people push the limit of man and machine no matter if it's this, MX/SX, or some other discipline of this sport. It will be fun/scary to watch.

Josh Sheehan is: One Dead Sheehan



In theaters Friday.

He will eat shit badly.

I'm very concerned for him when he tries it in dirt. Hope he lands it safely, that would be amazing.

He's so dang high up it doesn't even look real. You'd think no matter what coming down from that height to dirt would cause Severe injury.

Last time I saw something that high it was a pissed off witch and a bunch of flying monkeys.

Even if he lands perfectly on both wheels I feel like he'd still break his angles/back from the amount of impact from that high up. Especially with that ramp, that's a lot of momentum going directly down to the ground, whereas a normal ramp is a pretty mellow landing considering the height/distance traveled.

Man either going to be EPIC or an Evel Knielvel type fail or more than likely death...

Two things -

With all that time & money into the ramp why doesn't someone spend a couple hours fixing the run in? Every video I see has them twisting through trees and jumping ditches? WTF?

Why? Is the income potential really worth the risk potential? I am all for stupid shit but it seems the risk/reward ratio is way off even for Nitro..................................

It's by watching nitro circus that you should now know that the potential income is probably the last reason on their list.

Wow, that can't turn out good

Highly unlikely that he's dropping a big distance. More like a triple-backflip-step up so that he doesn't potentially drop like a rock. Similar to Maddison jumping to the top of that deal in Vegas a few years back.

Wouldnt the landing from that have to be like a snow board half pipe transition. Landing angle be at the same angle of take off or damn near as steep.

MadSkills

Best-case scenario would be severe injury.

I wish they'd knock it off with this shit before someone gets killed. It's going to happen soon if they keep trying to raise the bar like this. I'd rather not witness it and I wish they'd use some fucking brains.

At what point does it become stupid, I say that it became stupid at the double. It's just hucking and tucking. I'd much rather see someone put the time into figuring out a true 360, it will happen eventually.

served him for new polisport plastics once when i worked in a Honda shop, had no idea who he was. true story

Actually, if they have a really long, really steep landing (Maddison's landing off the Arch), I guess he won't kill himself.

That's probably what they have planned, since, looking at the takeoff, it's not like it's gonna be mid-competition or anything.
