nice try guys! :good:

If i had to theorize, I would say the Slayers wheels contain too little rotating mass to allow it to flip 360 degrees on such a small ramp.
but 10/10 for effort.

you can theorize, although i'm pretty sure the more obvious answer is that i'm just not practiced enough at backflip jumping :lol:

true, it was muddy though, in the end we had to stop because it was ruining the ground with the landings.

lol good effort, very difficult to backflip on such a small ramp. Prop it up about 1 foot with like a toolbox then then try. You should get alot more height making it easier to flip lol. Whenever I try backips off small ramps with my Revo something always goes wrong :lol:

thats true, i'm amazed myself we managed to get it to backflip, we have a couple of old milk crates we normally use for propping up ramps but i'm cautious of jumping the slayer too much, as lee said the front arms arent as tough as i'd like em to be

probably the lack of weight although this is a pretty good jumper all things considered.
