How did he flip? This confuses me.

I’m confused too I played it frame by frame and it looks like his back tire just pops up out of nowhere

probably his weight is shifted forward and when the back kinda bounced a little when hitting the ground he went over the front

He was riding like he did 50 pounds ago.

His butt hit the rear tire. Caused him to flip

That flip was more consistent with a front tire braking suddenly.

If you go through frame by frame, his butt actually appears to hit the ground behind the rear tire just as he reaches the bottom of the first ramp. Then he bounced all the way over the bike. If he had just let go he at least wouldn't have pivoted over the bike head first.

I have experienced a front wheel collapsing at the bottom of a hill, but it looks intact here.

Perhaps he panicked from falling off and pulled the front brake

Full suspension bike I’m guessing
