 This is not his first time throwing this trick. He threw this in Nitro Circus season #2 at Woodward East on a resi-ramp. It was not as big or as clean but he did it. SO this is not the world's first "special flip". Sick trick though. Doubt anyone else will be throwing it for a while yet.

 i think they have said it's the first on the basis he didnt land with his feet on the pedals at woodward wheras he technically rode out with one foot on this time not that i'm complaining about either its the f*cking dogs danglies as a trick

 I think we may be missing the point. We all know he has had this trick in the works for a long time. TravisP was even talking about like two years ago and how special greg is like a cat in the air. I saw him do it into the foam pit a long ass time ago. GUYS EITHER WAY.........THIS WAS BIIIIG!
