But did he ever do a tailwhip air? I've never seen a pic of him doing them.... or no-handers for that matter....

I don't know about a tailwhip air, Joe Johnson is credited with taking them to vert I think, but I'm sure I've seen pics of Blyther doing no handers, & I can remember reading in an early action bike that He over rotated a 540 & landed a 720, the first?

I know Joe Johnson did the first vert ones but it seems odd to me that Blyther never did them. I've seen footage of his 720, that's cool. I think it's in the extras bit of the Aggroman/head first dvd.

brian did invent the flatland tailwhip (or tailspin as it was called then) and also the draino around 86- another flatland move, not to be confused with the drano air that john parker does.
did blyther invent the superchicken air, the blyther air, the pop-out to fiola hops to drop in, and the kickturn with half candybar decade to quickchange roll out??

mark atkins was the uk's 1st!

I think Domingues was the first person to do one in the air, but its was a flyout jump. Having said that, it was a flyout, out of the Uplands combi pool with 4ft of vert and pool coping, and he did it in a big aly-oop, almost 180 flyout!

I can remember that now as well, was it in an old mag, bmx plus or something?

Thats the one. Out of the combi pool at Pipeline skatepark, Uplands.
I went to Uplands in 1991, shame the original pipeline park got bulldozed in 1988. Doh!

That whip flyout is on Joe Kid.

I think Joe Johnson gets the nod for the first double whips though eh?

jedi · « **Reply #14 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:50 PM »

joe johnson did single too

JJ invented the TW AIR. That other dude invented no-handers at Upland. Forget the name. Think his name started with a T. Remember seeing his pic in Freestylim' and thinking, "(It's ON!)"
