John Henry's own Curtis LeBlanc Flips Out
It was July 30th and it was me and Dylan Johnson riding that day. I was pretty sure I was going to try my first back flip that day. We spent a good hour fixing up the jump before riding. We added a fresh layer of dirt to the landing so it wouldn't be so hard if I crashed. A few test runs later, and I was ready to go.
I told Dylan to get the camera out and film my next run. When I was getting ready to go for the jump I said it myself I was going to do it. I got 3/4 of the way around and then I bailed out onto my knees. Right after I got up and walked back up to the top I felt confident I could land it.
This time I went faster and got the full rotation, and landed it. I was pretty happy. Then after a quick break I wanted to do it again but when I picked my bike up the rim was so bent and rubbing on the frame. So we had to go home sooner than planned. The only down side to the day was I had to walk to John Henrys with my bike on my back.
