I know Jim landed it first but the Pages brothers haven't done anything to their bike to do it.
They have a crazy rotation.

He has lowered forks. He only has like 6 inches of travel so while its cool as hell, you wouldn't be able to continue a run and hit a big jump.

Dayum! THta is a crazy rotation ....looks like the front flip equivalent of a whipped out backflpi some riders are doing also with the rotation like that it appears some of the impact force is lessened on the front end when rotated like that

Man, I REALLY hopes he brings this to X Games this year, one of the brothers has been in it before right? If not simply submitting this video should guarantee both of them entries in the best trick competition at least.......worked for Caleb Wyatt and Scott Murray

Not sure, but when he lands it at X he'll make 50-100K, get an X Games gold medal, and might win a car as well.
