GoPro: BIGGEST BACKFLIP EVER DONE On a MTB - Tom Isted 120 FT Record Breaking Backflip at Darkfest

This year the crew went even bigger and built a 110 ft Jump, but why not smash that distance, with a backflip, and go deep! Measured at an insane 120 ft, Tom Isted dropped a record breaking backflip on dirt and potentially the longest jump ever recorded on a Mountain Bike Dirt Jump.

Tom isted became a legend with this one

Someone needs to sponsor Tom. It's such big news that he's riding a Giant frame he bought for £300, it'll equally be big news when someone picks him up. He may do a lot of POV videos, but everyone still knows what bike he's riding.

DAMN... he was deep into that downslope!

I always had the feeling that Tom Isted flew under the radar of the MTB community. I guess that time is over.

no frame to carry this legends "balls of steel"

just goes to show you don't need a £15, 000 bike all you need is a hole lot of talent and a second hand ebay bike for £300🥇

"HOW DOES HE SIT DOWN WITH BALLS THAT BIG?!?"

[brimendis]

Giant, please sponsor your boy, he's riding a £300 Giant Glory he bought off eBay

Who is the drone pilot? Nice for GoPro not to put their name in the description.

I desperately want a static shot. Just from the side, no drones, GoPros, anything. You can’t feel the distance any other way.

[SummitMTB]

Ah, they took all the cussing out, probably for the best😅

[cyclingchef]

Anyone know what speed he gained before jump?

[whoisthispianist]

Has anyone dies on this jump yet? What happens if you come up short?

[JoshAllenberg]

Slowest backflip in history. The little amount of pull you have to put into that must feel wack

[mrt]

And damn near to flat on the landing...🤦‍♂️

[benclarke]

Amazing, anyone know why people have recently started randomly saying "lets go" when they are not leaving anywhere or asking people to leave?

[ericcartmansstrengthandpow]

Pfft. That's not even a world record. I have WAY bigger jumps that I've built here in my humble mountain town of South Park, Colorado. I've done double and triple backflips off jumps that are over 200 ft. gaps. And then I go home and smash reps of 855 on incline bench without wrist wraps in my basement home gym. So pfft. I'm not that impressed.
