In 2009, Paris got invited to XG for one reason: footage of him throwing a no-handed frontflip 75 feet into a foam pit surfaced on the Internet. While Rosen went for the trick at XG, he came up short on the landing and ended up with a broken tailbone. He shook the monkey off his back a few months later (end of Oct. 2009) when he landed an 88-ft frontflip to dirt in the Arizona desert. Look for Rosen to not only stick the frontflip at XG 2010, but to add a variation like the nac-nac, Superman or Indy air.
