How to Backflip a Hip with Drew Bezanson
Since everyone and their mother can backflip these days, here’s some advice on how to take it to a hip from one of the best in the game, Drew Bezanson.
“Drew Bezanson breaks down how to backflip a hip so you can take your BMX backflip flyouts to the next level. After you master the flyout flip, Drew says you have all the elements and when you take it to a hip the only thing that really changes is you line of sight. Unlike a regular backflip that leaves you looking at the sky for a second, the backflip on a hip allows you to look to your side and always spot your landing. Listen to Drew Bezanson break down the finer point to backflipping a hip in the Step By Step.” – Alli Sports
