As anyone done one before becuase I think it would look super sick like when you sit on your tails for more speed but you just stay that way. I searchbarred but couldnt find anything. Ive never seen one do one or ever heard of anyone doing one.

I feel like it would be hard to get the full rotation, but probably possible.

Also called Lazyboy 360 wich is always corked unless you get on your feet (standing) before taking of the lip.

it seems like it would be hard for you to throw your body back for the flip

tried just going off a jump straight like it. not a good idea, turns out its extreamly hard to get your body in an up right position, end result was me sliding down the landing on my back.

Yep, thats why you have to spin and cork while doing it, otherwise you'll land in the same position you started : on yo ass. And I think a lazyboy backflip would be very doable on a big jump, but we still need some video evidence.

Saw my buddy almost do one on accident.

He was sitting for speed and he couldn't get up for some reason. He went of the jump sitting and it threw him way back in his seat. No backflip tho.

yo eric, since I was little I have always heard that sitting on your tails greatly increases your chances of tearing your acl

I think it would look sick but always something to consider

plus I don't know how you could get the power to rotate. Backflips require a lot of power from your legs to push up and backward. Plus you could easily hit your head on the lip.

Its a cool concept though

my first backflips were close to this. i was trying to get speed so i was super far backseat and its not really a problem to get the full flip. But if ur truly on the tails im not sure how the pop would be?

that would be very difficult, like no pop would be very scary. A laid back 3 is much more easier from a biomechanical perspective.

last year i witnessed a nub back seating into a spine in an attempt to go all the way over, but he stayed squatted on his tails too long and couldnt stand up once he hit the tranny. He ended up doing a huge backy on accident, and stomped the shit out of it.
