After shoulder surgery, Cam Zink is back at it, training for a 150-foot backflip to break a world record.
| This project has been years in the making; since the day I set the Guiness World Record for longest backflip on a bicycle, it has been on my mind.
Over the last few years, I have been trying to obtain support for it, but after trying for so long I realized I have to make it happen on my own and build the jump on my own property and produce this whole project. However, it takes a village and there are a lot of people who this wouldn't happen without. Ray Syron, Mike Power, JP Preston, Damon Iwanaga, Dustin Lindgren, and others. Adidas/ Five Ten has now committed to the project, so hats off to them and thanks for the support!
I was trying to get to 150 feet last year but my shoulder started coming out very easily shortly after flipping 110 feet. This is the first time hitting the ramp since shoulder surgery and just the beginning of starting over after surgery. Should be progressing pretty fast barring any more bars to the leg!"—Cam Zink |
2) lean back, pull the bar and start pedaling (at the same time)
3) profit
backfliping 150ft even easier
1) carry speed, lean back, pull the bar, look to the sky
Ignorance is a bitch for mother nature.

Damn it. I knew it. I had one these things come to my door and try to hand me some literature.
Some of you should have your man cards
revoked.
Good luck to all involved with this project.
