Potter Learns Backflips!

Posted by: Cropley | Saturday, August 27, 2005 10 comments

Well after the Dew Tour in Portland last week Todd drove up to Spokane, Washington with Ailo Gaup from Norway to film for Pastrana's new movie, the Nitro Circuis 3. Todd hung around for a few days and got in some good riding and footage for the video, including some rock-solids, cliffhangers and KOD's off a 150 foot kicker!

After month of failed attempts and eating shit (which is well documented in the new Metal Mulisha video) Potter sacked up this week and pulled his first ever backflip to dirt. It was off a comp ramp that was jacked up in the front and dug into a hill so it was like a steep step up. It took a few tries of going over the bars and looping out before he finally pulled it (without a rear fender!).

Todd is doing a show in Fresno right now but will be taking his new found flipping skills to the 75' ramp at Deegan's next week. Good luck and congrats Todd!

    The missing ingredient for Potter was motivation : they gaffed a bottle of jager to the back of his helmet and he flipped that bike like a champ trying to get to it

    backflip's are a huge achievement but when u look at the big picture of this trick a standard backflip won't get u very far when u look at the backflip variations that pastrana and deegan n co are pullin out, congrats n e way m8 its a big step i'll be there with ya soon i hope...!
