How to do a Double Backflip:

  1. Ride at the ramp to get as much air as you can.
  2. As soon as you take off, pull the bars really hard, pinch the bike with your legs and tilt your head back, all at once.
  3. Right at the peak, you should be starting your 2nd flip. Just keep going exactly the same.
  4. Once you see your landing spot stop pulling the bars and land.

Tips for doing a Double Backflip:
