Winter X Games 2012: Heath Frisby Front Flip Explained

[Mr420forlife]

why do people dislike this?!?!

[VinKing6294]

@Mr420forlife because they have no balls or their name is Justin Bieber what means they have no balls. ^^

[SpaZeHD]

Double cork 1080 next year

[hanndeledd]

Great flip :)

[FoxdirtbikeX]

"C'mon he EHHHHAHHHHHEHHHAHHHHH the reporters like orgy'd.

[Jesusmakesmelovelife]

We humans are flipping nuts. there are so many "bad idea" aspects to these kind of events. but we sure do enjoy them.

[250bowler]

ok....lets see the double front flip next year!

[TylerisBossy]

Stoned?



[ABrothersProduct]

how the fuck does he rotate? xD

[logansaito]

Hahha, man... this is what they call "defy gravity"

[acefanaticishot]

To all of those who clicked "Dislike", what about it did you dislike? Just wondering.

[TheYoeriBuis]

@acefanaticishot its family from him they dont want him to die

[Jesusmakesmelovelife]

@acefanaticishot was gonna make a joke about them hating on people having fun or something but i have no clue either. that was sick, there are reasons why people can be the first to do something after many years of competition. cause it is nuts

[Draedon]

Fuck gravity!

[JosephAZ100]

nice flip man!!!

[Gopro1917]

360 next year

[beauchabot]

Never thought that possible, wow , Jacko did it on a bike last year too. Crazy trick!!!

[iUnrivaled]

23 dislikes think they can do better...?

[evanthegr8]

@MMCNSnowSports there was a actor with a similar name, what was it? oh yeah! HEATH Ledger

[randomhappyboy123]

watch my video randomhappyboy123 please

[keenynman34]

the dislikes are from people who can only do backflips..

[DCAMAM0T0X]

Now Someone needs to land it in MotoX .

[christiancmg101]

@DCAMAM0T0X someone already did, last year....

[DCAMAM0T0X]

@christiancmg101 But that was a Front flip 360 . Thats Easier than the Actual Front flip .. i wanna see like a Straight up front flip with no Variation , idk if u get me ?

[JoeTheMeatbag]

@c1o5ry1991 It's probable that they have foam pits for offseason training, and yes, there is the risk of injury if you screw up, but the severity depends on where and how you screw up. But in reality the only preparation is having the steel nerve to try it.

[c1o5ry1991]

How does one practice for something like this? I mean aren't you basically dead/horribly beaten if you fail the trick?

[SeerTrulth]

"Where does it go?" he asks. It goes to kids killing and maiming themselves for that Red Bull cash. It's time for folks to get sensible and safer and quit buckling to the money pressure. There is a whole unseen pressure behind the X-sports, and it will one day be more obvious. Bravo to this athlete for this courage, but we have to check ourselves at some point in the heat.

[frenchfry21video]

1:26 a piece of his helmet look closely

[ok19]

the "yes" after the frontflip sounds just like /watch?v=C_VheAwZBuQ

:D succes

[mxrgn54]

wow

[PRbears2015]

heath looks high as a kite

[cckid566]

colton moore's trick was cooler. not as hard, but cooler

[DCAMAM0T0X]

He is my son .

[daveyAWS]

not to mention he had to this right after Justin Hoyer crashed and broke his arm and his leg trying the double backflip

[daveyAWS]

i was there! it was so damn crazy! i was screaming so loud! haha

[IamFleisch]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX Are you slow or something? Yeah front flips are easier on a trampoline.... I don't see a trampoline though. Its completely different physics on a 500 lb machine. Seriously, go to school man

[EpicFireTV]

lol wutever..... hold my beer.

[Broodzak15]

The Monster logo made it look cooler.

[Urlfan333]

As an mx racer I don't endorse fmx being cool at all. Fmx actually sucks and would agree that snowmobilers? Are cooler than FMX'rs lol. Nothing will be cooler than motocross racing though.

[toxicity90210]

this guy has balls!

[JMann880]

This guy will need two caskets when he dies, one for himself and one for his gigantic balls

[polarisalltheway600]

@JMann880 I think you mean three cause let's face it one casket can't hold both of his balls

[EpicPeaceMan]

@JMann880 Well three one for his sled.

[fiziksdrop180]

That's a huge machine to front flip with! Holy s***!

[swissskater98]

18 people can go suck dick cause this guy is legitt!

[LuckySevenSamson]

FRISBY FLIP

[413shooter]

heath frisby is a boss

[SuperWakedude]

100% Respect



[0sse95]

Pure Awesomenes!

[ic069]

What an athlete.. wait

[farmer07089]

daaamn....

[MsDakillah]

AWESOME!!!

[973SHA]

when i was watching this on tv and as soon as he landed it i instantly knew in my mind he won

[Sapo661]

very very very nice..........................

[jepanator]

Physics disliked this video

[Giestopz]

Next up, no handed front flip!

[TonyBtheEG]

Nothing was explained here, but the front flip was still amazing.

[TheSam1467]

dislikes are for the people who claim to land triple front flips...

[MrYomama315]

i can do that... Hold my beer.

[MrKickyouindanuts]

Really dude! Shut the front door. That sheit was nasty!

[sledhead100100]

how did you do that!

[Daltonalex25]

wow a frontflip??? i can do that with my eyes closed. as long as im dreaming!

[bmxer319]

17 people are mad they didn't get the first front flip on a snowmobile..

[zSeAnThEbOmB]

i was expecting to watch skiing then i turned my tv on and saw this i was like OMG!!!!!!!!!! I'M WATCHING SNOWMOBILES!!!!

[ulsig95]

"no one will ever be the first, except heath frisby".... NO SHIT COMMENTATOR!

[bmxer319]

@ulsig95 He said that cause its true and makes sure its threw everyone's thick heads. lol

[JacktheSnowman24]

It would appear that he hit the brake just after takeoff to use the track's momentum to help initiate the front flip. Sweet trick!

[DlMrLong]

VERRY LIKE!!

[acefanaticishot]

Dislikes........really????? Are you kidding?

[isSHEEPMANimmortal]

@acefanaticishot the dislikers are RedBull. jealous he rides for Monster.

[acefanaticishot]

@isSHEEPMANimmortal You know, your probably right. I never thought of that.

[chrishession1234]

@isSHEEPMANimmortal lol so true

[WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX]

backflips are way harder!

[thepinne1]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX U clown.

[Filrox]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX are you retarded?

[coltonschnabel]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX ya totally?

[bmxer319]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX You don't play any sports then. You fail at life ):

[WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX]

@bmxer319 i bmx.. idiot..

[bmxer319]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX Then you aren't any good xD

[jjhhkkify]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX backflips are exponentially easier just through the simple physics inlvolved with the rotating track within the machine....you sir are an idiot

[WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX]

@jjhhkkify you sir are wrong frontflips areee waaaaayyyyy easyer on a trampoline.. you sir are a retard.

[spicychicken1661]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX have you ever tried both? no.

[sldnx97]

@WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX if u think that, iv givin up hope for mankind.

[WHYxRAINxIxWANAxBMX]

@sldnx97 man i was jokkkingnnnngngnngngg haha like a bunch of people replied to that comment.. it was a jokee :) love you

[TheLoco1998]

foarte tare

[caligaris27]

picture me frontflipping a schoolbus...

[dedmemries]

i like how it took forever for motocross riders to land it and one time for snowmobilers.

[ChaseandGavin]

TAKE THAT MOTOCROSS RIDERS

[ozzyawesome4811]

all you haters are so annoying you obviously dont know snowmobiling, how hard it is and have respect for it and winter x. they even said in snowmobile freestyle that the snowmobiles are not in any way even supposed to be taken to the limits they are, even doing those jumps pushes the limits too far. so massive respect to the riders and the events, cause those guys have some balls of steel

[bieberfactsnow]

@captainshmiggenns us gymnasts train 7 hours a day blood sweat and tears!! as they just sit in a coat driving!!!! BIG DIFFERENCE!

[iReALisTiC]

@bieberfactsnow yeah the big difference is that after 7 hours of blood sweat and tears... its still pretty gay... sitting in a coat riding as you call it is still way more legit. action sports will always dominate

[braggeroni]

@iReALisTiC you're talking a lot of shit about what constitutes skill and sport... considering you haven't uploaded a single clip of YOU doing anything

[spicychicken1661]

@bieberfactsnow just the fact that your name has bieber in it makes you a giant faggot

[sldnx97]

@bieberfactsnow iv seen like 22764659 of ur comments on here go do a cartwheel or something dont watch this video if u dont like it history was just made in this video

[BraapaTap]

Must need huge upper body strength!

[superblackdiamond251]

i love heath bars and playing frisbey

[juandhaltrich]

and the explanation???

[jgrygs]

who gives a fuck its snowmobiling

[beeboyj]

that landing must just hurt the balls sooo much :D

[tysonmace]

Shit was fucking sick fuck all the haters raw raw raw raw frisky kills

[BionicleArm]

and quad guys...still cant whip. haha!

[haircutbob2]

Does anyone know where I can get the footage from the GoPro mounted on the back?

[xraysspex]

@haircutbob2 /watch?feature=player_detailpa­ge&v=T3Q_QkU458A footy is at 1:22

[haircutbob2]

@xraysspex Thanks a lot man! I couldn't find it anywhere.

[playstionproblems]

now, does anyone know if the snowmobile was modified in any way? it was a sweet flip, but was the machine weighted in some way?

[RipLikeABeast420]

@playstionproblems Lol no its a standard freestyle snowmobile. It is against the rules to modify the weight.

[xSirDingo]

@playstionproblems He was able to do it because of the ramp. He designed it himself for front flips. The middle is raised so that the back end goes higher than the front, causing the flip.

[traxxas777]

people can hardly do a frontflip on a dirtbike.. Frisby did on one a fucking snowmobile. badass

[thejohnnymx]

where can i find a beanie like that ?

[NytroSledMKGJ]

Riding sleds is harder than it looks. I have a lot of respect for those guys.

[BallCracker15]

Yeahhhh.. it was on a ski doo.

[FlyingRubberGuard]

It just looks fake, SO INSANE

[Springhillwinterpark]

ya , its kinda been done before ..

[5dragons2]

@Springhillwinterpark Yeah...except that they didn't quite get it and the snowmobile ended up landing on the person and caused serious injuries

[HeadShotMatt3]

Is you don't think he is an amazing althlete then you haven't driving a snowmobile before

[HeadShotMatt3]

If Indy think he is an athletic

[doe791]

I hope no women tries this or they'll end up like canadian Sarah...

[tumbler0615]

HOW IS HE AN ATHLETE?!

[Tupsuboi]

@tumbler0615 Go try frontflip a snowmobile and you will find out why.

[ukele6]

@tumbler0615 shut up seriously

[notarupert]

i feel emotional watching this hahahaha class man!

[wydeq]

man, RESPECT !

[bb321a]

next year will he try a 360!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[bb321a]

when i think i saw it all someone goes and front-flips a fucking snowmobile

[TheCRAGIES]

fuck dam straight..

[mattyfizzle]

That landing looked damn painful tho.

[sb4448]

He looks stoned

[recycledproductions1]

reppin idaho!!!

[MrBassman923]

!!!!!!!!

[Bosingr]

Sicker! 

[foxoakley93]

ha ha. that was funny after he landed you could hear the one of the announcer sound like the dad on christmas story on the blind scene when hes crying.

[TrerotolaSH]

El primero en competencia genial! y el primero que veo xD

[PaRtYrOcKeR1234567]

@DLPskater3 you really need help with your spelling

[PaRtYrOcKeR1234567]

@ DLPskater3 you really need help with your spelling

[frenchfry21video]

hole down 1 for psssssss

[redbullmx29]

The ramp helped him a lot

[dapaynetrain08]

@redbullmx29 cause it was so giant?

[wingnutters]

Monster Powered, Frisby OWNED this trick! Wonder whats gona be next to top this? Corkscrew Frontflip????

[hurlysurf]

nicceeeeeeee Heath!!!

[barb261068]

whooo hooo

[CHADandTracyLoveYou]

"JOE, SHOULD I RUN DOWN THERE!?!?"

[gsupt]

Sick trick! You got some big ones !!!

[MrKickyouindanuts]

You can tell which comments are made by people that haven't even touched a sled.

[MrJkalbb]

fuck all you haters, you can't even ride a sled

[hornedfrog5]

too bad the double backflip didnt work out so well if u know what i mean...

[DLPskater3]

if anything is possible then y done u do a qaudrouple front frlip



[trueeastsidebuzzer]

he should do a back flip next time

[lallenisse]

@trueeastsidebuzzer Are you stupid? Backflips are much easier on snowmobile. The sick part about a frontflip on that vehicle, is that he has to work against the snowmobiles momentum from the takeoff to get it to flip forwards.

[AlbinoTWONinja3]

@lallenisse Also the person needs to stop the rotation of the treds, very complicated move

[tbopne]

@trueeastsidebuzzer front flip 100x harder

[tannerpoo202]

Woah dude. Frisby flip 2012!

[999nizami999]

i dont understand . is it really the first Front Filp in history ever done?!

[jackupastrana]

@999nizami999 first one a snowmobile

[traxxas777]

i can watch this a million times and still think hows it possible

[OscarAndradePTY]

LIKE A BUS!

[skifree110]

OMG 

[bieberfactsnow]

That's not a sport it's cool but all they do is drive not a sport like gymnastics!

[TheKiZeClan]

@bieberfactsnow its a motorsport? x]

[pewgoose]

@bieberfactsnow its an extreme sport not a fairy sport like gymnastics

[CaptainShmiggenns]

@bieberfactsnow Yeah you're right. He just hopped on a snowmobile, jumped off a ramp he spent no time designing and threw a front flip without any kind of practice.

oh wait no he didn't, he spent months training for this event. Kinda like gymnists train for their events.

It most certainly takes more than just "driving" to do something that's never been done before.

[UhOhSpaghetioz]

@vasquez228 yes sir it has :)

[bruechel]

I've been doing front flips on my sled since I was 11. I landed my first double 2 years ago.

[daniel9940]

@bruechel proof

[Frediboy94]

what will it be like in 15 years? double corks?? :D

[vasquez228]

dude has this even been done on a motorcycle yet???

[MrZexz]

@vasquez228 Nope, only a modified version. Search it up and you'll see thats its not "pure" frontflip :)
