Derek Guetter lands 75 foot backflip [Video]

Nov 19th, 2009 By Derek Guetter

November 19, 2009 I landed my first ever 75 ft backflip to dirt!!! Can't even begin to explain how much commitment this took. Never in my life have i been that terrified, and still had the confidence that i was going to succeed. I want to thank each and every one of you for helping me throughout all these years, this has been a goal of mine ever since i watched my older brother Jon land his first backflip in 2004. Now it's all about commitment from here on out. I just signed on for a US tour that travels to 15 cities in 15 weeks, with riders like Nate Adams, Adam Jones, Mike Mason, and all the rest of the top FMX X-Games athletes. Check our website in the following weeks for the official release of the tour, all i have to say is it's the biggest tour to ever happen in the US!!

Thanks again everyone, and enjoy the video of me freaking out after i land the flip!! :) haha
