I remember playing games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX and laughing at the absurdity of some tricks.
“Yeah, right. Like a 720 double backflip is remotely possible!” I’d say.
No ad to show here.
Well, the inaugural Nitro World Games event saw a ton of ridiculous tricks being pulled off, including a backflip quadruple tailwhip by Kurtis Downs.
For the uninitiated, this means a backflip (of course) and during said backflip, the bike’s rotated around the handlebars four times. All this in mid-air.
Other ridiculous tricks include a double frontflip on a dirt bike and some ridiculous stuff on BMX bikes and skateboards.
Watch the video below for some of these tricks.
