Nice video. I have never even attempted a backflip, but to me your form looks really good.
Did you get rid of the xft pole? what are you running now?

Thanks, the xft short pole length made flips impossible! Using a pole that is to short for my height and weight put my body in front of the engine. This made rotation very difficult; however, some are running = to or even a 1/2 inch shorter poles and it works great for them. I have a XS adjustable pole and it is as far back as the throttle will allow. It allowed instant backflips/double attempts in the first day riding it...kinda crazy, huh! I also don't look like a hunch back anymore!

This is a vid with the xft pole...form seems fine, right?

Damn thats crazy. Your form does look good, but the pole is to short.
Not to get off of the subject, but what is the length of your xmetal pole when you put it at its shortest? The reason I ask, is because Im considering getting rid of my xft for a xmetal. My xft isnt as short as your and thats why I want to go a little shorter. Just curious.

Like 31-32 inches from the pole pivot 2 steering pivot...XS pole adjusts from -2 to -5...DO NOT SELL YOUR XFT (what's the length...it's the lightest pole going!)...my XFT is a -5, but on a SF hull the pole pivot is 4 inches more fwd= -9 inches just on the pole.

My XS pole is over double the weight!

...if you want to sell it, PM me and let me know what you want for it.
