World’s Biggest Backflip – Cam Zink

Filmmakers: Unknown (for client G-Shock)

Riders: Cam Zink and Kyle Strait

This is definitely the biggest backflip drop I have ever witnessed in mountain biking. It is one of those things you watch and actually just can’t believe humans are doing!

What I also really liked were the variety of unique GoPro angles, which I haven’t seen properly before, like framing the hands off the side of the bike, and also under the frame looking back. Really works well.

The ‘friendship’ aspect of this clip is very nice as well. ‘Just 2 friends playing in the desert on their bikes’, would’ve been a simple caption for this. A great element of mountain biking is just the ‘soul’ of it, when riders just get out there and ride for the fun of it. No crowds, no prize money, just friendship and fun!
