Yanez performed the world's first ramp-to-ramp motocross backflip on an 80cc motorcycle in October 1991 on an 8' tall box jump he built himself in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
In 2000, Carey Hart attempted the first backflip on a full-size motocross bike off a modified dirt landing ramp at the Gravity Games 2000.
Hart attempted the backflip again at Summer X Games in 2001, during the Moto X Best Trick competition, but bailed off the bike 45 feet (14 m) in the air, seriously injuring himself.
In 2002, Caleb Wyatt was the first person to land a backflip on a large motorcycle, on April 25, 2002, at the Rogue Valley Motocross track (RVMX).
This backflip was performed over a mulch pile of grass clippings, leaves, and bark collected during maintenance of the RVMX track.
In 2009 while filming for "Nitro Circus", Pastrana completed a 120 feet (37 m) backflip as part of a larger crossover jump, flipping over a number of riders below in the process.
2006 brought footage of Travis Pastrana completing a double backflip on an uphill/sand setup on his popular "Nitro Circus" Freestyle Motocross movies.
Three months later during Nitro Circus season 1 on MTV, Dechamp landed the front flip during the Guinness World Record episode.
In early 2009, Metal Mulisha rider Jeremy Lusk attempted a Hart Attack Indian Air Backflip.
In early 2015, Nitro Circus rider Josh Sheehan landed the first triple backflip, yet another trick deemed impossible by many, on a custom ramp/dirt setup at Travis Pastrana's "Pastranaland" complex in Maryland.
he had previously practiced the trick onto a large air cushion at the Maryland complex, using the same custom ramp built for the stunt.
This includes a helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, jersey, neck brace, chest protector, and MX pants.
Steering stabilizers are also common and help keep the front tire running straight when tricks requiring the rider to let go of the handlebars are performed.
