According to a press release by Teva earlier today, Paul Basagoita became the first mountain biker to land a double back flip on natural terrain. Its an incredible achievement all things considered, but when I heard the term “natural terrain,” I was expecting something a little different.

The idea of a free rider booting a massive trick over a natural obstacle recalls images of Darren Berrecloth racing down mountainsides in distant corners of the world – not a giant manicured booter. Semantics aside, Paul’s clip is awesome. Even after a few major spills, he gets up, and tries again until he finally nails it.

What was natural it took a shovel to built it?

I wonder how many bikes he wrecked before pulling this off? Still, have to admire his persistence!

That terrain’s about as natural as Red Bull–although it probably tastes better.
