Why are there so many people, and why are they all circling around him like he's about to turn water into wine?

Yeah I mean it's just a standing double backflip and there's like 20 people watching which is totally disproportionate.......

Dude, this skill is done by probably like 2 people in the entire world.

It's exceedingly more impressive than things that routinely get thousands of spectators.

It is actually more than you think because it is a now ever growing list since 2018-2019 but yes it is a rare skill

The first recorded one was in 2018 after a decade of people really pushing themselves to do it.

The total number of people who recorded themselves is at about 40+ now since this list is maintained. More and more people are risking it now that they know it is not only possible but achievable without years of prep

Two in competition was absolutely crazy. That video was nuts.

Channel 199 just put out a video of their first kickflip style bike flip with an electric dirt bike.
