19-year-old Jackson Strong is the first rider to complete a front flip in competition, according to reports. The first recorded front flip completed on a motorcycle was by Jim DeChamp in 2009, but this X Games front flip video captures the move in competition. We already reported that Jackson completed a front flip on the Crusty Demons tour in Australia recently, but we’re not sure if that qualifies as a ‘competition’ one or not. In any case, it looks like it’s becoming Strong’s specialty and what’s more, in this latest front flip, he sticks the landing and runs away with a gold medal in the best trick contest for doing so. Check it out in the video.
