Bob Kohl was the first, also no handed backflip and invented the Superman in our backyard!!!!!✌️

Also Jose was the guy who did the backflip in the movie RAD

Really that's great information thanks! I knew about this B,M,X rider being the 1st although Cary Jason phillip Hart is in my mind who was the 1st being he hucked it on a 250 2 stroke when we didn't know it was possible until foam pits. What's super ironic was I accidentally invented the Kiss of Death Back flip on 1/20/01 which my best option was to throw the bike had I not have thrown the bike! I wouldn't be texting this information.

Hart was the first person to do a flip in live competition. They made that very clear when he did it. However, seeing that dude flip in 91' - pretty cool to see.

Yeah i agree on that. And even when he crashed, he still made a flip. He landed on the wheels and the seat but slid out afterwards. Thats a flip in my mind. He is the first one to flip a large 250cc bike. And Jose Yanez`s flip in 1991 is just sick. Wish more people knew about him.

Jose was the first. He was doing backflips when hart was swimming!! Jose also was the biggest trick in the movie Rad. We all know who the first was and why he wasn't celebrated.

wow so crazy I just found out about this

Hart didn't land it, he attempted it

This is a great find. I'm an old moto head that has been riding and racing since 1972 and I never knew about this. Very cool.

Thats awesome! Its nice to suprise people, and thats what i was thinking going to happend if i made a video like this. In the same way its sad so few knew about those hardcore riders from early 90s that did backflips. This should be something most people knew about in the moto community but thats not the case. I must admit that Yanez was fairly new to me too, and Bob Kohl was totally new. Atleast this video might teach people what awesome things happened back in the old school days!

I remember a magazine article talking about all these guys back in 2003 when Metz and Travis brought flipping into the mainstream. To me it was Caleb Wyatt, he rode away clean on a big bike and there were witnesses. Carey Hart showed everyone it was possible to flip a big bike. The guys who did it on 80cc bikes don't count to me, gotta do it on a big bike.

Caleb is my co worker. He definitely was man dope dude!

There was another dude in the 90,s that did a backflip when I was in highschool here in Canada also can't remember the name but I remember my bro and I were freaking out. It's before internet so their were probably a lot of people that did them from the 90 and before and didn't get alot of publicity

I remember it also being clear that Hart did it on a full size bike, but still impressive nonetheless

Jose is now living in Tent City in Arizona. I went to see him Sept 14, 2023. I did not find him but had spoken with his daughter who sees him regularly. There is a documentary in the works. RS

That’s sick information but none of those were in competition. Carey did something on television that no one had seen other than those two bmx riders.

Cool vid and good job digging up the truth and putting this together.

I thought there was no way I would learn anything new from this video, but I had no idea Bob Khol sent a flip, and im a BMX rider for life. Another mention should go out to Steve Madrano and Adam Ownsly on the 1999 video Children of a metal god. The full video is on youtube and even though they were both into water, Adam Ownslys flip is still one of the wildest things I have seen on a dirtbike. Its around the thirteen minute mark

Another man we need to mention when we are searching for the first backflippers, is Reckless Rex (Rex Phelps). He did extremely big backflips and landed in water, back in 1976 (and i mean REALLY big jumps!). Too bad i was introduced to this guy when my video already was uploaded to KZread, or else i would add him in. Possibly the first man ever to experiment with motorcycles and backflips? Before i started this "backflip project" i always thought that Carey Hart did the first ever backflip in 2000 but after this re-search i have now learned that people flipped motorcycles way back in time and Carey was not the first. Crazy! Its time to let those unknown heroes shine!! Anyone agree?

Good video; setting the record straight. All was got under my skin when people mention Hart as the first. Not a lot of talk of it now a days but nevertheless.

Yeah, I'd say riding away from one clean trumps almost landing one in a competition. Especially considering that FMX competitions didnt formally exist at that point.

So true I never heard of this until some cleaning up the homeless or something. Where was that footage? This needs to investigate because it’s really kinda sketchy

Mira la altura que alcanzó Hart y el peso de la moto,si Bob y Yañez fueron los primeros pero no en arriesgar su vida tanto como lo hizo Hart,la altura de los 2 backflips con motos de 80 no m parece ni de lejos la que alcanzó Hart con la 250 y en una competición tan importante,el mérito se lo merece todo Hart aunke los otros también pero a mil años luz de Hart,fue el el que revolucionó el deporte junto a Pastrana y mcgrath

There’s about 7 billion people in the world no one can claim the first back flip it could of been landed many years before

You should do more homework on this. The first back flip ever was done in the late 1970's. Can anyone name the rider? He's on youtube so there is no excuse for missing this.

@@jangho9 I worked at a place with his daughter, only reason I know about him. He was the first to do a back flip but not the first to land on wheels. He still holds the first back flip Precedent. The later guy is in another catogory.

Jose is now homeless living in Phoenix, He dreams of someone finding him and help him become the oldest man to do a back flip.

Carey hart was the first to show it could be done in competition did not land does not count 100% if you think otherwise then Travis pastarna to roll crash counts

Carey did it on a big bike so he has bigger balls.
