Backflips?

skrobo · September 7, 2006, 1:39pm

i have attempted frontflips
into water
i might could have landed the first one on the ground, but it is hard to get the uni to rotate w/ you

there is a picture of it on my myspace (www.myspace.com/stephenskrobarczyk)

there is a video of it somewhere, but I havn’t seen it… i didn’t land it either
its just a frontflip into water whilst on a unicycle
a few ppl have done that

The link doesn’t work. Says that you don’t have an account or deleted it or something.

I hope that’s not right, where’s Tomsey? Rhys was riding an 05KH with profiles when I met up with him… he got all his stuff pretty cheap though so probably is the same Rhys (Kember?). I think he was on the brink of moving from Melbourne to Sydney…

He’s a cool guy, modest and chilled out. He was right into his BC wheeln, doing heaps of stuff I haven’t seen in any vids. And on his uni he was doing crankflips, 360 unispins, seatdrag & pretty much anything else (backflips) within a couple of tries. That was all with less than 8 months of apparently on & off riding under his belt

Before you all go out and try hitting backflips, be aware that Rhys was carrying on with various foot fractures and scars to show for all his utter lack of fear. Quite funny reading this thread knowing it’d already been done before the thread existed

Lol. Ok, different Rhys then.

Yup that’s him. And if you look at the guy standing in the bowl, you’ll see me! I thought a video was gonna show up pretty soon after my visit to Australia but they seem quite happy to keep it underground.

Alex Toms is the one to ask coz I think he’s the only Australian who knows what RSU is and knows Rhys.

I saw rhys only a couple of weeks ago riding at a big event in sydney called ‘Big exo day’. he still rides hard out but its not like u can ask him to do a back flip on his uni and he’ll whip it out right infront of you. i havent even seen this back flip of his, but knowing him i wouldnt be supprised if he has done a few, who knows!

That was Alex’s origional plan but I talked to him after that and he said he wasn’t going to make it.

Rhys still rides, he goes to my gym, he’s fucking hot dude.

xperfect_darkx · November 4, 2006, 4:13am

Oh, and I’m in Canberra, I don’t know when he came here/if he ever moved or it was a different Rhys you guys were talking about a page back.

skianduniaddict · November 4, 2006, 2:07pm

i can do it on a pogo off a ledge

ntappin · November 4, 2006, 2:43pm

That is just a backflip off of the unicycle, those have been around for a while, we want to see a backflip with the unicycle. Although that is still impressive.

xeaza · November 28, 2007, 1:21pm

That’s actually a back handspring off the unicycle. For a backflip his hands wouldn’t touch the ground.
Still it’s really cool.

Impossible, why did you thread bump this? It’s over a year later. Useless
