How about a double FRONTFLIP :wtf:
Somebody needs to Talk to these kids !!!!! :idiot2:

Truly mental.
Absolutely awesome to watch, but the way things are going I fear it's not gonna be long before there's another serious injury similar or worse than Stephen Murray's.
I really hope we never have to experience what we did with Stephen, but with these kids constantly pushing the limits I fear the worst.

totally agree. i know with progression comes the danger element but sometimes is the trick worth the risk. double frontflip is asking for trouble as it a definate face/head impact when it goes wrong. if it does get pulled then do it once and then leave alone. too risky.

come on guys, progression is always gonna come with risk. It is not cool when people get hurt at all and the stories that we see today are heartbreaking- but you will never stop people pushing the limits.
Even 25 years ago people were pushing in a way that could and in a few instances did, result in serious injury. Would you have suggested Mat Hoffman didnt strap a motor to his bike r built a 25' 1/4???? were you happy that Carlo hit 12 or 13' on a twiglet??? It is scary - and as a parent I see a whole different side of it now, but take yourselves bcak to the heady days of competitions, crowds, adrenalin and achievement - how much did you worry?
Should we stop the big air at X Games??? or all the other areas of progression???
nah, I didnt think so,,,,,,,,

:wtf: thats just stupid

even after Stephens Injury they don't wear full face helmets... or even elbow pads. I can't understand it.
progression can't be stopped, but its so easy to protect yourself better than they do. guess that's not cool though.
