Actually Mike Metzger landed the first backflip in an X-Games competition in 2002. However, in 2006 Travis Pastrana preformed the first competition double backflip in an X-Games competition.
no it was evil Knievel that did it firstpaul dallas landed the first 250cc Motorcycle backflip (not in competition) in April, 2002. your wrong it was Carey hart at the gravity games and i think it was in the 90'sCorey hart "landed it" in 2000 but he landed it with his body hanging over the side then fell. travis pastrana landed the first clean backflip though.
it was on July tenth 2010
The first double backflip ever landed was made by travis pastrana in 2007
Cary Heart landed the first backflip in COMPETITION in the best trick competition of the 2002 X Games. He wrecked attemting it at the 2001 X games, he also almost landed it the the 2001 Gravity Games but fell of when riding away.
The first backflip was done in 2000 by Carey hart.
Travis Pastrana did the first double backflip to dirt in competition. and now the crusty deamons rider, Cam sinclair can also do them. Others may have now done them, most others would be doing them into foam pits.
Drew Worley was the first person to ever land a backflip on a snowmobile
In 2000, Carey Hart attempted the first ever backflip on a full size motocross bike
I believe this was Cary Hart, however he did not successfully land both wheels. Still, at this point, everyone knew that it was now possible to land one. A major step forward for freestyle motocross.
Fist person to do the back flip was Mike Course in 1957 in the show Paris sur la glace in Paris, France Terry Kubicka introduced the backflip in the 1976 World Figure Skating Championships. The move was banned immediately after the competition, making Kubicka's the only legal performance of that move. One reason the ISU (governing body of figure skating) banned the backflip was that it did not believe it could be landed on one foot, as all other jumps have to be. Surya Bonaly and other skaters have landed backflips on one foot, but the move remains illegal in amateur competition. It is allowed in exhibition and professional skating.
