Double Flips

[Ryan Upchurch]

surprises me no one has landed one on a hard surface yet. I learned them at h-town perfect in a day into foam. i didnt like the takeoff on their flybox so i waited til today to try it at my local. I tried it like 10 mins after getting there. it seemed easy,i just under rotated a little bit cuz i didnt get enough speed. will be postin a video later. any thoughts or comments???

edit: After trying a bunch of these things. its honestly the hardest thing ive tried to get that last quarter of the flip. Due to the high risk and number of failed attempts I'm done trying double flips for now. I dont want to live the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

almost perfect, but somehow on the last 1/2 flip i started leaning forward for some reason??? and landed with my feet in the air and stomach on my bars. so yeah, i was really close though.

I'm putting the video on vimeo right now!!!!
and posting a thread in the video gallery. look in there for the video, and further questions/comments.
