Do you love doing 540 tailtaps? Here’s one that will blow your mind.

Over the past few years we have seen Brant Moore do a TON of crazy lip tricks on a quaterpipe and a number of other ramps. One thing that we never thought about is just how many different 540 tailtap combinations he has done. Well, you’re in luck because he has decided to compile all of them into one video and melt your brain. Each of these combos are nothing short of ridiculous! Check it!

“Over the years I’ve done quite a few different 540 tire tap variations. So many that there was enough for this video including all of them!
Hope you enjoy!” – Brant Moore

If you have ever wanted to learn how to do Vader Jams or Vader Slides, but you can’t figure it out, here’s a video for you. Scotty Cranmer had Jared Heitzman do a little lesson for the crew to learn how to get this trick done. This is not an easy one to learn, so give this a watch, see how the guys did with it, then grab your bike and give it a shot!

“Ever wanted to know how Jared does faders so well? In todays video he tried to teach the boys all the steps to doing a good Vader. Bk, Big Boy, Vinny, Fede, and Dom all got involved. Most of the guys learned pretty well but Big Boy took more falls in one video then everyone combined might have done this month.” – Scotty Cranmer
