Didnt some other aussie do a double onto some matresses flyout? Came close to doing them. And ryan upchurch or am I wrong on the name? He tried them over a box but came short.

Ryan tried them twice, both on a REAL box.
yea some kid from aussie put up a vid of him trying them.

one thing confuses me

Jarret Reid was 20 years old in 2001!? in RVM1 he sounds like a teenager!

so now he much be like 28 or 29

i forget, what can he actually do on a scooter except backflip and frontflip?

Thats not the ultralight, I don't think, I don't know what the hell that is.

Jarret did the first blackflip on a scooter for sure. Its in the Guiness Book of World Records, and it was on the GB show, I remember watching that episode when it aired.

He says he landed the double backflip, but there is no footage, so he gets no credit IMO. Anyways, I think landing tricks with 1 foot on the deck was legit to him...

Jesse has the first dubflip attempts, Terry landed it first, to resi. Some say resi doesn't count, but why not, its squishy, big deal, he still rotated a double backflip a landed and rolled away.

If it is, its some kind of prototype or early model. The Ultralight had all black (carbon fiber) bars, carbon fiber brake (that one looks silver), black (cf) folding mech. It could be one, it just doesn't look like the ones i have saw before.
 
dude don't underestimate the og riders, they've done crazy shit that most people still can't touch to this day, i think jarret reid landed it

Wyatt Conroy Tried one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_81c7CkYzY
you can see at the very end of the last rotation he bails.
I want to see a list of people to land them. so far the only legit people with footy to land them is dakota shits and terry price. both to resi.
I've heard so many rumours of people doin them. ryan, jarret, a few others too.
