New Zealander Jed Mildon flipped his way into the record books with the first triple backflip on a BMX.
Jed Mildon, a 24-year-old from Taupo, New Zealand, landed the world's first triple backflip on a BMX bike in competition Saturday during the Unit T3 Mindtricks BMX Jam in Taupo.
"This is the perfect result to three intensive months of practicing and training for this moment," said Mildon following the jump, which he landed perfectly. "The impact and implications hasn't sunken in yet, but I'm so pumped to have aimed for something once deemed impossible and made my dream a reality."
A representative of the Guinness Book Of World Records was on hand to witness and approve the authenticity of the triple backflip, which Mildon had been working on into a foam pit and air bag setup for three months prior to Saturday.
According to Mildon, the previous attempts and practice still didn't calm his nerves.
