Backflips from Rare DVD 'Flipped Out' with Carey Hart, Caleb Wyatt and Mike Metzger and the future
Riders Lounge Podcast - Freeride / Freestyle Motocross and Action SportsShow Notes
Have you watched the rare moto vid 'Flipped Out'?
No? Well, there's a good reason for that. Not many people have! But this week Clint Esposito and I were given super secret access thanks to Paul Taublieb, Executive Producer from Taublieb Films to watch one of the most in-depth videos discussing the first Backflips landed in Freestyle Motocross!
From Carey Hart's lead-in to Gravity Games in 2000 and the controversy of 'did he land it', to Caleb Wyatt coming out of the woodwork to stomp the first flip where he rode away from it and then Mike Metzger taking it to the next level only a short time later with the infamous Double-Double line ramp into dirt flips over 75ft!
Clint and I discuss this video and then the broader impact on the sport of FMX and what does it mean for today and into the future! Carey Hart (plus Jose Yanez before him) let the genie out of the bottle and we'll never get him back in!
Where to from here? We want to hear from you. Email [email protected] with your ideas or who will be the next guys to shape FMX!
Tune in to hear the companion discussion I had with Clint Esposito on the Clint's Rumble channel as we walk down memory lane watching one of the craziest X Games ever!

Here we go! It has been a minute since the last podcast!
10 years ago in Hamburg, Germany, Hannes Ackermann took his first major win at NIGHT of the JUMPs against some of the world's best riders! The following year, he would suffer a horrendous crash, broken back and take 9 years to get back to the point he can ride consistently at NOTJ. This weekend, he'll be back in Hamburg and bringing the heat with some new tricks and lets see if he can snatch a win. But it's going to be tough to get past his younger brother and 3x World Champ, Luc Ackermann and 6 more riders ready to throw down! Tune in for the latest preview with Clint Esposito and Steve Sommerfeld from the Two Wheels to Freedom YT The competition will go down this Saturday night, tune into NIGHT of the JUMPs YouTube LiveStream 7:00pm local German time UNofficial Track Walk - if you buy tickets and want the exclusive track walk with Steve, please message on Riders Lounge Podcast Instagram with proof of ticket and see you at 17:15 for the VIP walk!
This was a wild one! NIGHT of the JUMPs 3rd round of competition came to Budapest, Hungary for the very first time and the second best qualifier crashed out and nearly wiped our the reigning World Champion!
Did you guys know about this one? I didn't!
While I was driving on the German autobahn trying to figure out AI audio enhancements to make my recording sound better than listening to a guy talking into a phone microphone in an empty van full of road-noise... Luc Ackermann was Tsunami-Flipping from one semi-trailer to another truck, at speed, over a 9 metre high street sign.
