Jed Mildon’s triple backflip on a BMX is pretty impressive.

But the video on the making of this historic jump shows what is truly needed to even consider it. BikeRadar has this video

Making of the triple backflip

The fact that even with the foam pool practice the triple wasn’t fully ready, the air bag test nailed two of the team and some last minute additional ramp wood left Jed with a thumb in air level of planning, so to set off down the ramp with so many points still up in the air shows some pretty hefty balls.

Nice one Jed.

Take all this into account and I doubt a quad backflip on a BMX will ever be seen.
