I own SR.
I was there when when he first heard the rumor, over 2 years ago. Jarret CLAIMED he threw a double backflip at Point X Camp on the RESI RAMP.Matt Dibble said:agreedPete Pachota said:Josh Toy has openly stated that Jarret landed it (in the description of the video of Jesse's attempts which he has uploaded on Youtube). So it's all about considering Josh a reliable source of information or not. I think that if he says that he has seen it personally I will believe.OGCÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?â??Ã?¢Ã?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦Ã?¾Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?¢ Derek said:Theres no footage, nothing can be proven and only 2 people have said "i HEARD he did a dub backflip" so nothing can be proven.
So I suppose Jesse is the only one whose got close?
I personally do not believe it is true for a number of reasons:
1) It was almost 3 years ago and still no footage?
2) No witnesses, just his word.
2) After riding with him and seeing his consistency I find it so completely unlikely that he could have landed a trick like that. I have no doubt he is capable of hucking a double flip but not sticking the landing.
In the end the rumor was that he tried it on a Resi Ramp which is the equivalent of riding on a really hard foam pit so I don't think that counts even if he did it.
I say Jesse has gotten the closest out of anyone AND has footage to prove it, not just talk.
