How To Fakie Backflip with David Pinelli

September 15, 2014

For Kyle Baldock’s latest episode of Insight, he gives David Pinelli a few tips on backflip fakies on quarter pipes. Check out how David did along with a few guest clips from Andrew Ahumada for good measure!

“The backflip to fakie is a classic trick that can work easily first shot or go horribly wrong and end up with you kissing the ramp. In this clip Kyle Baldock walks you through the dos and don’ts of the trick and also point out key things that will help you land it and not sample the ground with your face. For help he has enlisted his friend David Pinelli to come and learn them himself. Meanwhile, Brett Trigg is capturing the thrills and spills on his Canon 600D with 50mm F1.4, 11-16mm F2.8, and 8mm Fisheye F/3.5 lenses.” – Epic TV

It’s wild how massive events like this can go down and we don’t realize it’s going down until after it already happened. Check out this video packed with BMX and motorcycles from this years Finist’Air Show out in France! Plenty of familiar faces throwing down in this one!

“It is now a tradition, every late summer the stars of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour and Sports Action meet atgain at Briec inBrittany for Finist’Air Show.
Particularly appreciated by riders for its friendly atmosphere, it’s under a radiant sunshine that occurred on August 31st FAS 2014, sponsored by Harley Davidson France. And what an edition ! , an event rarely has reached such a level in Europe this year.
FMX with Josh Sheehan (champion of Red Bull X-Fighters 2014), Tom Pagès, Taka Higashino, Clinton Moore, Daice Suzuki, CharlesPagès and Jey Rouanet was simply amazing. Double backflip, Special Flip, Takaroll, Bundy, Flair, Flair Tsunami Volt, 360 nac or all of the most innovative combos of the moment have fascinated the 18,000 spectators present. Josh Sheehan won the Best tricks”Harley Davidson” before Tom Pagès and Clinton Moore.
Brittany also trembled at the BMX Dirt with aliens Kyle Baldock and Jaie Toohey, who flabbergasted the huge line of Dirt with thestars Ryan Guettler, Pavel Alekhin, JB Peytavit, Vincent Massardier and a promising Joseph Forrissier.
The stunt and BMX Flat also offer an incredible show concludes with a battle between the stunters Julien Welsch, Romain JeandrotSarah Lézito, Jerémy Perrudin Kevin Lefrancois and the Flatlanders Viki Gomez, Fabien Stephan and Joris Bretagnolles.
The 2014 edition of Finist’air Show was exceptional and presented one of the best Event in Europe.”
