    Yeh but on Nitro Circus they backflipped a plastic tricycle over like a 10 mile gap (ok not 10 miles but it was fvckn huge) Would think that would be harder then front flippin a bike a couple of times.. who knows

    Front flips are a lot harder than any backflip!! The body wants to follow the head and the head always wants to turn back. there is a lot of mind set in commiting to a front flip! think about what happens when you hit a ramp.. the natural line is for the front end of the bike to come up and slowly raise and go above and behind you! To go frontflip, you have to pull, then throw all your weight forward and down.

    Dont get me Wrong, Pastrana and the nitro Circus are a bunch of nuts!!! i have been following Pastrana since he was 15 and turned Pro Supercross! (My brother raced) and he has been a nut ever since!! Nuttiest thing ever is jumping out of the plane...Minus 1 parachute!!

    Exactly, front flips are much much much harder to execute successfully
