Fallbrook, CA (12/19/2007) -
"Backflips have been done on quads the
last four years, no tricks or anything and
its time for that to change," said Caleb.
Eager to take the sport to the next level,
Caleb has been rotating continuous flip variations
into his foam pit in Texas. On November 28,
2007, Caleb flew out to Temecula, California
to make the trick official. After a few backflip
trick variations into Jimmy Fitzpatrick's
pit, he was ready to stick one to dirt. He
"warmed up" with a few backflips
to dirt and then surprised us all when he
went for a "Naclfip." A Nacflip
is a backflip while extending a Nac-Nac during
the rotation. With a near perfect landing
his first jump, he consecutively knocked out
flip after flip. Some of the riders and spectators
were joking about Caleb breaking the "Most
Consecutive Flips" record on a quad,
or anything for that matter.
It didn't take long for Jimmy Fitzpatrick
to hop on his dirtbike and get in on the action.
With side-by-side ramps lined up, Jimmy didn't
hesitate to flip alongside with Caleb to the
same landing. Jimmy added, "I've flipped
multiple times next to a dirt bike, but a
quad next you, that's a whole different deal.
That was crazy." The guys ended up flipping
until the sun set behind the California hills.
It was definitely a record setting day in
freestyle motocross. Caleb later added that
he has more variations up his sleeve and is
looking forward to some more time in the foam
pit.
The footage is shown in H-Bomb Films' "Huevos
10," which is now available and shipping.
Clips of the backflip can be seen in the Huevos
10 trailer on the H-Bomb Films website.
