Mike Metzgers' Backflip Over the Fountains at Caesers

Evil Knievel was first, on New Year's Eve, 1967. He crashed on the landing and spent 29 days in a coma.

damn...
 
hahaha! thats crazy!

Too bad skier don't get as much coverage hitting... the orage stuff last year (or the big pc jump) and road gaps like that.
 
because that was a world record...

i guess they could have done coverage of jaime's record drop but this was like a live thing, and there were tonsss of spectators so it makes more sense to cover this
 
u dunno about you but id much rather do a 120ft backflip on skis than on a bike, motocross is way more dangerous, respect to those guys, least we have snow to land on
 
that's total gnar sauce. he basically just backflipped chad's gap. very respectable. gatta start gettin that kinda respect for skiers now.
 
ya and this was in vegas. while jamie's drop was in the backcountry. and way more people are into freestyle moto. on summer x its on way more than neother sport there.
 
whoa, near overrotation too. that was freakin enormus. apparently he's pretty stoked on disney land too. haha
 
it was crazy, once he hit the rear brake to slow the rotation just as he was over the spout I was like "oh shit, he's gonna over rotate". it was nuts
 
yeah, i saw it on TSN, it was intense, but why the hell was he saying IM GOING TO DISNEYLAND, was he making fun of patrick roy after winning the cup in 93, cause if so that is very funny
