I've see Fujas do a 90 revert 270 but I had a funny thought while talking to my friend about it. Has anyone ever heard of or seen someone revert a flip? Like start a really slow back then when you're about to reach invert or even just parallel with the ground throw their weight forward and land reg again?

You realise he fucked up coming off the lip of the jump? and instead of dying horrible yet specatular death he decided to live, which resulted in the revert.

This! The only way it might be possible is corked. If you need to validate this, build a jump, don't pack it down and try to back flip it. When the jump collapses under you, you will be inverted with no rotation. Even with no rotation it is impossible to create rotation to half front flip out of it, so there is no way to stop a flip and then go back the other way. Having said that, I would love to see the video of the attempts as long as the subject didn't die or sustain a spinal injury during the attempt. Here's a thought though. If anyone is into ski base jumping, that would be the way to test it out.

i believe rocket engines or some other form of thrusters would make this possible.

i drew up a rough model, and with around 240 bottle rockets, all firing at the same time, you could revert your flip, assuming average temperature and pressure, and accounting for a small rider.

ill post my equations if you don't believe me
