BMX rider Jed Mildon nails world’s first quadruple backflip (Video)

Spincredible...

It’s not often we’re lost for words here at JOE, but this is truly gobsmacking.

The triple backflip was pretty insane when that trick was first nailed in 2011, but four? That’s impossible, right?

Nitro Circus followed a group of riders battling to pull off the world’s first quadruple backflip…and it looked insane.

These kamikaze riders were dropping to earth like rocks…rocks made out of flesh and bones. There’s some pretty painful-looking wipeouts which end in hospital.

But when Kiwi rider Mildon (who also recorded the first triple backflip) finally pulls off the audacious trick, it’s truly magnificent.

Five backflips anyone? Anyone?
