Exclusive video: World’s first superman tailwhip flip
Danny Pace on his way to a Superman Tail whip Flip (BikeRadar)
On a crazy summer’s day Mountain Biking UK photoshoot with the cream of
the crop from the
Sam Pilgrim dialled in frontflip X-ups and frontflip tabletops, Jim Davage practised un-turndowns on a shopping bike and Welsh lunatic and Action Man impersonator Danny Pace attempted the elusive superman tailwhip backflip.
After more hard crashes than a human being should be able to take, the iron man of dirt jumping, who recently signed for Identiti and Gusset, pulled off this insane trick – but you’ll have to wait a while to see the video of him landing it. Instead here’s a little teaser before he managed to nail it.
The full story will be in MBUK 243, on sale on 23 September 2009.

Uh, he seems to have eaten it big time there. I"m pretty sure you have to land it in order to claim having pulled the move. Perhaps just a little premature with the world premier.

No way that was landed, slo-mo shows he's about to eat dirt to the left....impressive nonetheless!

Again, READ the story. He did land that trick later in the day after numerous attempts.
This is just a little teaser...
