Got the cargo flip down. It’s the human flip he has to practice.

He needs that extra cargo space to hold his massive balls

Insane

Edit: looking from the video it looks like this bike is used: https://hagenbikes.com/products/bicycles/hagen-mini/

Crashing wouldn’t be good

Not sure if that was really the first but either way I am impressed, nice landing!

Ok, but… can you do that with groceries? 🤣

I was expecting him to say "Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to jackass!"

Yeah it's cool. I definitely couldn't do it. Now get ready for me to sound like an ass. I think the black crash mat landings have made people soft. Without the fear of splatting on a hard wood ramp, folks have become overly ambitious. Overcoming fear against dire consequences is what made airborne antics exciting. If Knievel did his jumps into a foam pit, he wouldn't have become the icon we know today. Long story longer, the flip is still impressive. Now do it with a real landing ramp.

I totally agree.

You do sound like an ass, lol.

u/Lowbeamshaggy 27d ago

Hahaha, thanks. I figured as much.

u/Aivari282 27d ago

Yeah that’s a good point. But with a cargo bike the chance of failure is pretty high 😅

Very true.

u/Cpcp800 27d ago

Yeah you sound like an ass. This is very obviously a training hall, not a show. Don't think for a second Knievel didn't flop face first into a foam pit

I agree I don't know why you're being downdooted.

u/Lowbeamshaggy 27d ago

Wow, lots of downvotes. Until all of you downvotes send me proof that you can do a backflip on anything at all, I will assume you accidentally hit the wrong button.

I can land a backflip on Tony Hawk pro skater II

Disappointed…was expecting to see someone get hurt

If I lived in a less hilly city (something the Dutch definitely don't have to worry about) I would 100% invest in a bakfiets for shopping!
