Leave it to Utah’s otherworldly landscape. In this video, professional freeride mountain bike athlete Paul Basagoitia lands a double backflip on natural terrain. In a series of crashes that would make Mickey Mouse beam with pride (think if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again) Basagoitia attempts to backflip on his bike two times with spectacular crashes as the net effect. Undeterred, the dude picks his bike back up, hikes to the top again, and keeps working at it until he finally sticks the landing.
According to the video description posted on You Tube, landing a double backflip on natural terrain has been a long time dream for Basagoitia. It took hours of hard work hard work and brutal falls, but Basagoitia finally made this dream a reality right here in Southern Utah.
After watching this video, I think we can all learn how never giving up can lead to the impossible becoming possible, as frickin’ cheesy as that sounds.
After so many tries he finally got the double backflip. Good to re-see it again.
