I was in Jax when Cam pulled off the backflip. The whole stadium came UNGLUED !!! I remember yelling "HOLY SHXX!!!" A couple of the kids that were in our group lost their minds. We were lucky enough to witness M J history in the making. Nowadays, it's a given you'll see a backflip, but I'll always remember this one. Thanks for posting.

I had no idea that the first competition backflip was done in Jax. I went to Monster Jam in the old arena there back around 1994 or 1995 and there wasn't really a lot of room for the trucks to truly show off. Of course, the trucks have come a LONG way since then. It is still awe inspiring to see such a huge machine move like that.

That Consecutive Backflip from the Mohawk Warrior was sweet. <3
-
One evolution of the backflip that wasn't mentioned was the backflip to moonwalk, one of my favorite moves to see
-
This moments always been engraved in my mind, I used to obsess over Pastrana’s backflips and was dying to see it done in a monster truck I still remember the shocked numb feeling after watching it be done lol, Cam’s from nearby and when Monster Jam came here I shook his hand said ‘Jacksonville 2010’ and he grinned ear to ear. He’s very humble and Im proud of his success

I would be interested in seeing you analyze the influence that the front flip has had in the sport. It's probably nowhere near the influence that the backflip has had; the move is notoriously difficult by comparison. The Mad Scientist did the only one that I've seen done. Though both Grave Digger is reported to have done it a few times in both the late 90s and the 2010s. Big Foot is said to have done a front flip in the 80s.

Feels like a sequel to the moonwalk video; nicely done Jackson, you are one of my favorite monster truck YT channels. Keep it coming
-
I love this motorsport and especially the flips..never seen one in person but would LOVE TO!!!
-
I love watching differentials explode lol
-
u dont need a backflip ramp for the show to be good lol
-
I was expecting to hear "the shut off button" or crowd judging lol. It has stopped NUMEROUS free styles that could have been epic.
-
At 8:32 its interesting to hear that a move was Banned. I wonder if you can make a video about the different Banned moves in Monster Jam. I never knew that there were banned moves and it'll be interesting to see a video about them.
-
Well done and well explained you obviously did your homework (as one expects from good channels on YouTube!) look forward to more content. Thanks
-
If I grow up to 12-20 I get a mic 🎤 and talk to the driver to see what or why they need to be in WF
-
I liked the video I love monster jam thank you for the history of the back flip. I have seen a lot of those videos before but you put it all together nicely so thumbs up.
-
2:52 That was my first monster jam show and once I saw Tom meents do the first backflip I was hooked
-
You know from the outside it's always looked amazing and scary at the same time when they go for the backflips. But the view from the cockpit at 7:44 really puts it into perspective how terrifying it truly is to try and pull off the backflip because they are literally driving at a flat wall. Everything in your body has to be telling you NOT to do it because a normal car would just smash into it. But having those huge tires makes all the difference in the world in climbing up a flat wall. It's insane.
-
Hell, I remember the days when the whole sheet metal body would peel off the truck sometimes and not just the hood and the bed of the truck.
-
Woah. I was actually at that show in Jax. Didn't realize how big of a deal it was at the time. Pretty cool though.
-
I remember seeing Larry quick do a backflip at a monster truck show at ford field, I don’t remember what year as I was very young but I have a vivid memory of watching that truck flip and going crazy
