Backflips with Elias Elhardt

Trying to figure out how to impress the cute girl you met in the bar last night? Try casually busting out one of these laid-out backflips and you may just get laid yourself… The backflip is one of those timeless tricks that everyone should have in their arsenal but many are too scared to try. Most riders who can do them (Aimee Fuller included) will tell you that they’re actually fairly straightforward to get to grips with and that something like a much less scary frontside 360 is technically a harder trick. Here’s Elias Elhardt showing us how to get them dialled in the latest Relentless Energy Pro Tip. We can’t promise that you’ll be chucking double ones like the one in Elias’ full part anytime soon but if you can muster up the courage to give these a try on a powder day, you may just surprise yourself.
