WORLD'S FIRST MTB BACKFLIP TO FRONTFLIP CAVEMAN - THE STORY
Ойын-сауық
Many of you have already seen the Design & Conquer series that I spent last year producing with Red Bull, where I wored on worlds first tricks that have never been attempted on a mountain bike. The feedback on the whole series and the final edit has been nothing but rad, from inside and outside the MTB community. This is a much deeper insight into the story behind this tricks, that has never been attempted before, and I had no idea how difficult it would truly be to land this to dirt on my jump bike. Here's the story that took me from the skatepark, to my slopestyle compound and ended up on the full course down in Devon to get it done. Sorry again for the swearing!

All I could think about was just holding my bike and jumping off my roof a few hundred times (not even trying a trick) .... taking that slam over and over. And ever time he slams, he still has to carry his bike and CLIMB back to the top.... 337 times!!!! Holy shit!!! The conditioning of this man, is insane... I'm 35, I spend "a day" at the bike park (more like half a day) and I'm completely destroyed for the next few days.. and I only wipe out a couple times... He gets kicked in the teeth 337 times in a row, and kept smiling and trying.
It’s so cool that you never give up on anything. Keep doing great stuff

Never gave up. Looked like u had contusions at one point. This was beyond dedication. Very impressive you should be so proud of yourself matt!! 🙏
Props to Ben. Such a good mate with his constant encouragement. Every tiny improvement met with a "YES OMG MATE!"
Idt people quite understand the complexity of this trick! I mean if you know physics, then you will have a better understanding. But just the fact that he's trying to stop forward momentum on a dime, yet have straight enough legs to allow fot the rotation of the bike alone is insane. Then as he let's the bike keep its forward momentum and to help twist the handles back to help gain momentum in the opposite direction, using the bikes momentum to also carry himself into a full rotation. It's quite beautiful when you really think about it! Tbh, I think the hardest bit was fighting physics on that log. Because there's a lot of force being exerted on his legs because he's not only catching his weight but trying to stop the enertia magnifies his weight. Once u understand that, and then understand what it's like to do that with bruised and exhausted legs. THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN YOU TRULY APPRECIATE THIS TRICK, AND HIS DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE! Congrats Matt!

Came here to see a flip, saw it was almost 34 minutes. Ended watching it all, and really wanted it to happen. I'm not even interested in bikes lol. Great vid.
When you watch him do the backflip onto the logs so many times it almost starts to look easy then I remember I'm too scared to try a backflip into a foam pit and I realize again what a next level rider Matt is
The great thing is how supportive Ben Grist is, that is someone who really cares, keep up the good work

It’s so much more interesting to watch the effort put into one trick than the trick itself. From now on I will appreciate every edit I watch Edit: . I know you probably won’t respond to this but I’d just like to let you guys know that on my channel I have uploaded a video that is a vote between you and Sam Pilgrim. It is just a friendly vote and I would just like you too check that video out it would really mean a lot. Also maybe you would like to tell your followers about this so they have the chance to vote as well!

when all the flips are cut together like this, the battering is horrific. Kudos to Matt for his resilience and resolve.

Hi Matt I saw your last video where you suggested an Alcatraz Give Away. Getting would mean the world. I have been following your channel since you only had 20k subs and have loved to see your progression. I have been stuck with a 2015 Specialized P.26 dirt jumper for almost 4 years, though I am getting to the point of a new bike. Marin seems to be the best dirt jumper at the moment and getting one from my favourite rider would be amazing, Cheers from Tay.

Hi bike and beyond
The amount of work that goes into these tricks is just insane. The perseverance, bravery and skill is just ridiculous. Love seeing these insights bts. So much respect for you Matt!
'Giving up' does not seem to be in Matts dictionary!! Incredible Matt, amazing work. Are we gonna see The Story of the Wall ride......so wanna see you landing that
How exciting for other people to see this! To watch him crash and crash and crash but to get up every time and try it again! He did his utmost best everytime he went out there and his hard work paid off. You go Matt. That was probably the coolest trick I've ever seen and to see the grueling process was inspiring! Congrats man, congrats🤩🤩
Man, I’ve never seen anyone put this much work into doing a trick, you are a special person to be able to keep doing this. It does make me appreciate the final edit much more seeing all this work has gone into it.
Yes never give up mate you will make history
Just started watching your content and loving it. Huge respect for pulling that trick off and great to see the process and support behind it
This was absolutely eye opening and humbling to watch. Thank you for taking us along for the journey. You took a beating getting there and made legendary status because of it
I love how you never give up and are so determined to do a trick
It’s insane how Matt can just repeatedly crash super hard and never give up
Dude. Congrats to that. This is so inspiring and incredible. Btw: also props to Ben who filmed this bts like an awesome documentary and pushed you with his crazy motivation ❤️❤️
That was unbelievable! Talk about never giving up to achieve your goal. Amazing effort Matt. Also big up to Ben & Jono for their amazing support & encouragement. Matt, you must be buzzing after that 🤟
I love bens constant enthusiasm he always manages to put a smile on my face and his laugh is hilarious Not ignoring Matt obviously who has done an amazing job
These are my favorite videos so far. We all see the final product and think "yeah that's cool" but these show the massive dedication that it takes to be at the top of the game. They also show that this stuff is actually really hard and needs to be worked on rather than come up with an idea and fluke a landing. Huge respect Matt. Well done.
This is just insane Matt!! I have so much respect for you and your persistence! Amazing!
So happy for you Matt and i love how supportive Ben is.
You should be so proud of yourself, you’re resilience was outstanding. I’ve no doubt a very emotional journey with lots of pressure. I’ve also no doubt it couldn’t off been done without your friends and bro by your side. If you read this, I feel super proud of you. Cracking effort.
So inspiring for all of us Matt!! 🙌
So incredible Matt! Huge respect for that whole process - the amount of tries is immense!
Honestly the best video you’ve put out Matt, you can see the passion and determination clear as day here! The emotion in you voice is catching! Big respect. 👌🏼🤘🏼
This is so inspirational, the way you never give up and keep going, Matt Jones keep up the good work bro.
Congratulations matt 🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I've been following Matt's 3 world's first journey and knew these tricks were hard and yet this video made this trick feel like the impossible trick it was..... MAD RESPECT!! Keep pushing the limits
Matt, thanks for sharing this video. Anyone that has ridden any style of bike can appreciate how damn hard this really is. The amount of work you put in even on the first half of the trick that you have accomplished before just shows that its something not many would try! The second half is just wicked to even think of. Can't wait to see the full video cut of the Worlds Firsts Tricks!
Love design and create it’s so good love it great vid
What a legend! This shows what it takes to have an extremely unique world first under your belt! I can’t wait for the next one, I know you’d have something in mind
Matt Thank you for the hard work effort and time you put into this to give us joy to see you doing the trick. Made i appreciate the effort.
I remember seeing the compound set up in a video just in the background and I had no idea what it was. Great job Matt👏👍
The editing on this one was really well done, smooth and helping the video along nicely. Great job Ben(?) or Matt or whoever.
0 Dislikes thus far... Probably the first video I've ever seen without A SINGLE ONE!!! Proof that perseverance pays off, this. Well done, Matt!
So much pain in one single video this is crazy, you are crazy! But I so admire your persistence and perseverance, it's incredible, only discovered you so far but already a fan, well done!
What an awesome video!!!! Seeing the whole journey was eye opening, motivating, and mega impressive. I was clapping and screaming at the end when he landed the trick!!
You remained confident and determined that it was possible the whole time, and that sir is why you achieved your desired result. Very well done! 👏
I DID THE SAME MOTION BY PUTTING MY HAND ON MY HEAD CAUSE THAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE YOUR THE BEST MTB FREESTYLE RIDER EVER!
Matt, you're a massive inspiration. Never say die, never give up (and still smiling) What a legend !!!!
So stoked for your success ... persistence, dedication, BIG BALLS (although I suspect a little bruised at times!), defiance and a great sense of humour. I love watching your journeys as you take an idea for a trick through to nailing it. Awesome stuff :)
Totally crazy Man u just got my deepest respect and made me appreciate hard training athletes in this sport even more. I loved this video and was hooked til the very last second xD To see how much is possible if u train hard enough just makes me wanna ride my bike even more and get better step by step
33:37 and on the 337th attempt Serious commitment, congratulations Matt
Matt your commitment to a trick is just inspiring. When you landed that final one it nearly braught tears to my eyes!! Lol. Keep doing what your doing 👍
This is my favorite video I've seen on the channel. Loved the documentary style and seeing your raw focus
That dog was like “HeY GuYS HowS IT GOiNg!😀”
Do twitch or KZread livestreams! You guys are incredible funny and with a chat calling tricks and talking to each other the community would connect so much i think.
Got completely swept up in this video the final few goes almost jumping up with excitement at how close you where to landing it , and when you finally nailed it, just amazing so stoked for you, next level riding.
What an athlete, the tenacity, lots of hard work and the amazing support. It was an Amazing 30mins watching. Good job!
Jesus I can’t even imagine trying something like that 337 times What an absolute legend
I love how moose runs to Matt after every attempt
Hell yea Matt!!! What dedication u have!!! U are def one of if not my favorite bike rider on KZread!!! Such a positive role model for everyone! I know this video is a yr old but i still wanted to watch it again and comment on it! 🤘🤘🤘
Dude what a great trick and video. As always when you do it, it looks effortless. Sweet to see the team work that makes it all happen.

I was a downhiller and was never really into jumps/tricks other than drops and gaps and I can’t tell you how following you for a while Matt how unbelievably relatable you are!! You had me hooked even gasping at times when you bailed or took a tumble! You make it almost like watching your friend on the screen it’s so inspiring!
Well done matt looks like gruelling work but just shows hard work pays of in the end. You're a machine dude and I'm glad you pulled it off. you're a big inspiration to people out there, keep up the good work. You've got Balls of steel, literally and figuratively. 👍
