This kind of thing shouldn’t be possible in real life. It’s the kind of silly thing you can only do in a video game like Trials. Right?
Nunh-unh. This is mountain bike rider Szymon Godziek successfully pulling off the “tsunami flip”, a trick that has never been completed by a human being before.
You can tell by the reactions of the other riders just how insane it was.

Yeah this was pretty gnarly. Just for those wanting to know, those extra bars above his wrists are so he can pull himself back onto the bike after extending.
This has been done plenty of times before on FMX bikes, This is the first time it was done on a Push Bike.
Just to clear things up……….
That Lukas dude looks like hes on drugs…
that was a epic trick, that could of been bad if he did not get back on that bike. but that was great to see tho
Freestyle BMX has come a long way. I remember growing up in the 80’s that people thought it was impossible to do a backflip on a BMX due to physics (torque of the spinning wheel countering the spin of the backflip or something). And then a crazy dude managed to do it and it was all over the BMX magazines. He performed the backflip in the movie “Rad” (best 80’s movie ever made, by the way).
Woah. That’s intense.
Not quite the first, the first to do it on a mountain bike in competition iirc.
