Facing Fear Ep. 8 - First Ever Backflip on a Real Dirt Jump

In Episode 8 of Facing Fear, join coach Mike Sousa and I at the Whistler Airbag and Nesters Step Up as we take on a major milestone - executing my first ever backflip on a real dirt jump. With expert guidance from coach Mike, we progress from airbag training to tackling the Nesters mulch jump. The journey is filled with preparation, fine-tuning techniques, and dealing with nerves, culminating in a backflip attempt that, unfortunately, results in a minor compression to my T8. Nevertheless, I'm still considering it a 'success' having now faced my fear by giving it a go. A humble reminder that altough we can do everthing in our power to reduce the risks, goals like this still carry high concquences if we get them wrong. Would I do things differently next time, perhaps more millage and a longer timespan, but hindsight is 20/20. I'm grateful for the incredible amount of wisdom, skills, and knowledge I have gained, and continue to gain from this journey. Follow up video and injury update to come! Special thanks to Lisa for allowing us to use the amazing Whistler Airbag facility and to North Shore Norco for their support with the Norco Rampage DH. And a huge shoutout to my awesome coach and friend, Mike Sousa. I truly couldn't have approached this goal without you. Mike also managed to film on two cameras AND take photos of this session, all while providing great coaching - what a guy!
