Until now, neither had we. Probably because nobody has ever done it before -- we don't think.Step forward Chuck Carothers, potentially the first man to backflip one of the beasts of on-road biking. In Prague at the FMX Gladiator Games, Chucky C managed to take a Harley XR1200 motorcycle all the way over. Granted he the impact was a bit too much to handle and sent him off, but surely it counts, right.?
Regardless, he took the bike which weighs about twice as much as a motocross bike, and did a full back flip rotation to dirt. Bravo.
Oh yeah, and just days before while practicing for this trick he managed to burn down a biking pit, escaping from the flames before it was leveled. What a guy! Check out his flipping madness, after the jump...

What a spectacle that would have been, if he had not fell off.
Anybody can fall off a motorbike, takes a Yank to think its clever.
Bit like leading a Grand Prix, then crashing on the last corner of the last lap.
