This past Friday night, Anthony Napolitan made BMX history by pulling the first double frontflip in BMX history. I'm sure you've seen it on TV by now. If not, it was pretty cool.
Coincidentally, I ended up with a plethora of finger bike toys this past week while at X Games, including a Mega Ramp. Knowing Anthony is a good sport, I tracked him down and asked him to reenact his feat. The action is in the above video. Enjoy.
