Tom Isted Lands Record Breaking Backflip

If you’re planning to fly over 100 feet through the air on your bike, why not huck a backy? Tom Isted found himself asking this question as he sized up one of the longest dirt jumps ever attempted on a mountain bike. I guess he decided there really wouldn’t be any reason not to backflip this insane feature, so as he soared a record-breaking 120 feet in the air, he laid out a smooth, slow back flip and stomped it deeeeeep on the landing. That's 10 feet further than Cam Zink, who held the current record at 110 feet. I wonder what he was thinking about during the three and a half seconds of hang time…
