There's no doubt that the kangaroo flip is a crazy innovative trick...but does anyone else out there think it isn't the best looking thing out there. It kindof bring me back to aerials/1900's style backflips.   Thoughts?

yes i agree with you. it is a crazy trick but it doesn't look too good. its very innovative though and is another step in progression for our sport and it awesome in that aspect.

i hated scorpion in that game. as soon as someone would figure out that you could just shoot that harpoon thing out and then bring the guy in and punch him in the face he would use it over and over again and it would suck ass

The man speaks the truth!

As for the roo flip, did any of you actually see Jon stomping those at JOI? like he never left the ground.

They look sexafied. Id like to see it with a double mute or uncrossed tail, but i think that would fuck the rotation.

i think the one where he lands switch is pretty steezy but the one where he just comes back forwards is kinda gay

yeah if he rotates around to land switch, its amazing, but if he lands forward, it looks...incomplete.

I think it is a sick trick with a lot of style. Jon and Jacob do that trick so style and its original to. Anyway, its a free world, not every people like the same things.

i see it more as a novelty trick... cool too see every now and then, but i don't need to see it 5+ times in one vid. by one rider.

i've always wondered that, because the only other "kangaroo flip" I'd ever heard of in in BMX when you launch, do a flip over the bike, and then land. If you watch this vid, at about 30seconds Special Greg does one on a tramp bike. Soooo sick.    http://http://youtube.com/watch?v=YBXI951Ults
