Crazy French brothers, Charles and Thomas Pages, have both landed the Front-flip to dirt! But to make it all the more impressive, both these cats did it with suspension set-ups they'd use in a normal freestyle run!

The footage popped up on YouTube yesterday, ending speculation and rumours that the lads had successfully stomped the revolutionary trick first landed to dirt by Travis Pastrana's rally co-driver Jim De Champ about a month ago. Check the clip! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uRyc_OWpig

However, the Pages' approach and execution of the trick is completely different to De Champ. As well as hitting a 66ft gap instead of DC's 45ft gap, it looks like the Frenchmen cork the bike out slightly on take-off to help get the rotation around in time for the landing. How does this help, you ask? Well for starters, the guys wouldn't have to fight the entire gyros of the engine and wheels to bring both wheels back around to terra-firma. By twisting slightly off-axis they can almost USE the gyro effect – and momentum – to complete the trick

I for one cant wait for the Summer X-Games Best Trick comp coming up in July! Between these frontflips and Kyle Loza's bike flip (from my previous article) this is going to be one hell of a competition!
