Can anybody switchback wheelie?

backward wheelie, or however you wanna call it.I've seen some pics of people rockin 50s doin them. I know people have died trying them. Anybody done them, or is it just plain knowledge if you try one your most likely gonna kill yourself when you loop?

It's kind of a taboo after that cat dies doing one. I've never seen one since.

Re: Can anybody switchback wheelie?

thats pretty much what I thought. However with the level of riding that some people are at, I wouldnt be surprised to see it done safely.

Re: Can anybody switchback wheelie?

Alex can but he doesnt ride it too far. But you cant expect much from that trick.Dan jackson had a burnout grab sitting swicthback and flip hes *** right off. Its in few loose screws one i think.And that o5 champ doesnt count he wasnt backwards just hes legs are.Ethier way its a scarry *** trick.
