PayME presents, the SSX 2012 BIG AIR COMPETITION:

While playing around on my favorite drop The Dilemma I stumbled upon an awesome cliff to get some serious air on. The competition is simple, let's see who can do the biggest flip count on whichever drop! I'm presenting x21 Blackbird Front Flip. Let's see what we can do here!

Did a test run on Code Blue in Patagonia, managed to squeeze in 27 flips. Sadly no camera but it shouldn't be hard to replicate or improve.

Someone did mention to me code blue prior to me posting this video. And i just did another run on that same fall, and managed to get x23flip as my phone died LoL. More is possible! I will head over to Code Blue myself and see what i can accomplish.

In Zombies with Jetpacks, there's a way you can squeeze in 20-22 flips. I'll need to upload a video of it. But I'm pretty sure most people know that spot already.

if you backflip instead of front flip you can get more flips in as you are pushed upwards instead of forwards which lets you stay in the air just a bit longer.

Do you mean if you stay left and climb through the trees just after you get off the cliffs and are entering the bottom section? That is an epic jump!

Also: Wierdsville. Off the ultimate winsguit shortcut you can get huge, huge air.

I'll have to test that, I got to 31 on Code Blue with frontflips, will have to see if backflips help out much.

Oh no, not weirdsville again lol. Thought i was done with that level :frusty I'll check it out batty, also I know backflips are faster. It's just a bad habit to break sometimes lol. Hopefully some more huge drops and videos will be revealed shortly.

I haven't really hit a "big air" track yet.

The most I've done is maybe 13 flips on Rolling Thunder I think it was and I thought that was pretty good!

Can't wait to try some of these other drops.

After about 200 damn attempts from the same jump, I have to conclude that the difference between front and backflips is too small to matter. I got my best result from doing front flips:

ON WEIRDSVILLE. PAYME, YOU ASSHAT. HAPPY NOW? :pimp

I can get 21 flips out of Buckeye in New Zealand. Definitely not Code Blue style but I like it since I didn't have any help finding this jump.

Funny, I was just doing this in Patagonia for the hell of it last week. :D

I know I got like x31 flips on Blackbox. I'll have to try Code Blue.

I was playing around with blackbox before I left this weekend, will have to start up some more videos. If anyone is unable to take a clip, feel free to specify where the jump is; and I'll try it out. Of course give you credit as well :pimp
