Default backflips!?!?

Today was so much fun. Me and a couple of buddies went to the local park to drive around and do some jumps. The park has a sort of mini bike course so jumps were all over the place. Eventually we ended trying to do backflips off these little dirt hills and lets just say none of us were successful. I must have done 10-15 jumps of landing straight on the top of my truck. But eventually the last one took out my rear shock tower. No one actually got an actually backflip because the ramp was horrible and sent your truck in all directions but it was a hell of time trying to land one. The savage ended up cracking a a arm. The sportmaxx couldnt start and the rustler landed once upside down shattering its bulk head. It was a great day

In the rc nitro magazine , the one with wee man, it showed how to do backflips, frontflips, and 180 and slides and stuff on halfpipes.

Yea I like to put my truck though its paces The springs are AE 2.95 pound springs. They work great for me but they are smaller in diameter so they dont fit over the treaded section of the shock body but i think they are perfect even at the bottom. Great for jumps and driving at the track.
