Craig Campbell used to use two bikes for his competition runs, a bike with a freewheel for his ramp run and a coaster brake set up for his flatland. However the famous fakie air picture was done using the Coaster brake bike!!

However the famous fakie air picture was done using the Coaster brake bike!! I had a row with Peter Hawkins over that, and it was the start of the end for me at Skyway
We were up in Newcastle for a UKBFA contest and that night got our bikes nicked out of the back of the Skyway passion wagon, (fkeen Northeners)
Allegedley first 540 was Woody Itson, strange but true. Josh White was apparently doing them before he made the big time and before any of the big names were doing them, however Mike D was the first to start doing really massive 540's ie in the 6-8ft region. Mike D did do the first tailwhip flyout though and did the first no foot can can, Brian Blyther did the first tailwhip on the ground.
