I know there have been countless threads of the famous switch lincoln loop....BUT can it be done? i have never seen any proof of it. Could someone pull one and get it on video please? or is there already footage of one?
 
it can be done. at windells last summer, my session was waiting for our session photo or whatever. 2 coaches were hiking the rainbow rail, and they started doing tricks off the lip of the jump onto the rail, going off the side of it. tom wallisch starts throwing every flip...back, front, lincolns both ways, switch front, switch back. it was so insane, cause there was barely a jump. then someone from the crowd shouted switch lincoln, and tom was like, whoa, that'd be weird, i've never tried that. so he hikes up, and stomps it first try. it was insane.
 
the ultimate blind flip. i dont think you would be able to see where the landing is once the whole time
 
I was there too. I remember he was sayin he didnt think it was possible so no one though he was gunna try, then he just hucks it and stomps it.
 
It was done in a movie a long time ago. It was about 8-10 years ago. I forget what the movie was called, but it followed 5 or 6 people going to whistler for the summer and at the end they were doing supermans in a superman suit...i think kristi leskinen might have been in it? one guy threw a switch lincoln. It was pretty sick looking.
 
3:08 Garrett Russell is the man!

Truth. That is sick, but def not a Lincoln. Pause it and you will see the rotation. No rotation in a Lincoln.
 
I wouldn't call it flat 3 since he clearly gets inverted which you don't get in a flat 3. And about "rotation" in lincolns, that's how I do them...like a mix between a sideflip and a backflip.
 
very strange that there seems to be no footage of a switch lincoln out there... i'm not saying i can do it, but hey, it cant be that hard!
 
Damn i wish i saw it, i was up there in June a few times. Somebody has to find some footy, or film it themselves.

I can't quite get the balls to try it myself...
 
looked like a backflip handplant to me, and why would you go all the way to japan just to ride another park?
 
yeah dude one day while driving to school, i was thinking about skiing and suddenly switch lincoln popped into my head and i was like "shit i've never seen one done before"
i wanna see some stomped!
