The race for the first Harley Davidson back flip heats up
It's currently 4:30 pm on this Saturday evening in Prague and the final Gladiator Games show is inching closer. The big news of the event? Chuck Carothers and his Harley Davidson flip. Carothers is still the talk of the town, but as it turns out, Australian Kain Saul quietly landed a backflip on a Harley Davidson XR1200 earlier today somewhere in Australia.
Hey gang. Today (November 28 at 12:55 pm) Aussie Crusty rider Kain Saul flipped a Harley XR1200 to dirt with a 20km/h crosswind in Tooradin, Victoria Australia. We'll have footage online tonight sometime (Aussie time), so keep checking firestormfilms.com.au. Sorry Chuck, but we've beaten you to the punch. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!
To see footage of Kain's flip.
I caught Chuck ripping down the hallway of the O2 Arena here in Prague, so I snagged him to the side for a quick statement regarding the matter.
I'm kind of bummed because of the whole Harley Davidson thing, but it's nothing like mine. It's the same brand bike, but his bike has all-new aftermarket suspension — I'm not sure what kind it is. It's a completely different bike and his is going to flip a lot easier than mine and for sure land a lot easier. My wife told me not to post anything regarding my flip in Prague, but I was like 'I don't know anyone that has a Harley that's going to go out this week and flip it.' I assumed I'd be all good, but maybe I should've waited to release the news to the public. That's good for him though, he went for it, but I still want to see the footage." [Laughs]
So there you have it. Who would've known that professional FMX riders would be racing to see who can jump a 600 pound street bike to dirt first? Crazy kids. Congrats Kain .... you crazy Aussie! Stay tuned to find out how Chuck Carother's flip turns out!
