If you only watch one gravel bike backflip video...

Disappointed it wasn't you doing it

Me too 😂 thought this might have been an outtake from the gravelco bloopers reel

I’d be more impressed if he could ride without skidding like a child everywhere.

Careful...apparently skidding is how many people open up the trail so they can ride it. You may be called out for flagging skidding isn't great.

Strangely, I am not 😆

The balls on that fella! Loved that, really enjoyable to watch

I figure if Chris Akrigg, Martin Ashton, Sam Pilgrim and Danny Mac could do it on road bikes years ago then lots of other people can as well nowadays.

What’s old is new again.

Fine if it's a trail that you created and maintain, shit if you're a visitor and don't clear up your mess.
