A special thanks to Chapon for this video, you can view his blog post on the event with more photos here

This just in from the Masters of Dirt Website -
bigquotesBinevenido called us up and said it's time to stick the frontflip "I don't wanna do it for the first time in front of a crowd, I want to deliver what I promised so let's do this... We said alright and just one week after a big shoot in Belluno, Italy with filmerforce at the cmyk compound we booked our flights to go even further south to Barcelona and support Bienve on his big mission. It all turned out great and after a few crazy crashes Bienve stuck the world's first double frontflip on a mountain bike after only 3 weeks of practice. So get ready to see this amazing trick being performed at the Masters of Dirt tour stops in Graz (February 25 and 26th 2011) and Vienna (March 12 and 13th, 2011) This is an absolute world premiere so gnarly that you can't miss it. Thanks to Bienve and his great family for the support and of course thanks to filmerforce! The video should be online in a few hours !

We're working hard to find out more and we'll let you know as soon as we have the video and more info, until then here is some practice footage from Bienve



Full story and pics from Juan Angel Triguero Melian -

The past Tuesday, the 25th of January 2011, Bievenido Aguado landed the first double front flip on a mountain bike. He has been training very hard to get this trick works, and now he got it. In the next days you could see more progression of this natural talent on his bike, stay tuned!

Check the photos and the new video from DirtyFlows where you can see all the attempts and the final landing of the trick.

dont show the landing though...a*sholes

 no shit, nice editing. it looks like he jumps off the side because he gets bucked so bad....look closely at the photo sequence...but i just watched that bullshit video too...
  • 28 3
 Sure he does a double front flip but the question is does he land it? The video sure as hell doesn't show him land it and the picture looks like it has had a major photoshop job. I'm going to say this is fake until we see a real video of him actually riding out from one.
  • 5 0
 I am with these fellas. No doubt this is a nasty trick to pull, but show what happened no matter what. Heck, this cat might stick it tomorrow morning and then there is more to report on. I personally liked his single front better, that was silky smooth.
  • 8 0
 dont steal his glory. fact is he can spin more times forward than most of us can in any direction. the picure shows him getting off his bike, but it looks like he bailed.
  • 4 0
 Maybe he was just so full of adrenaline and stoked not to have landed on his head that he jumped off straight away. I know I would be after landing any trick that I had just practised for 3 weeks and stuck to dirt.

 i believe Lacondeguy is working on the triple flip. In my opinion, that is crazier than this :/
  • 2 0
 iambike4lyf why wouldn't you count it?! he still did a double front flip and it was freaking amazing, isn't that what matters?
  • 1 1
 because it defeats the point of mountain biking, hes using a motor bike to help him get the speed he wouldn't otherwise have been able to reach. if it counts, why not have all dirtjump competitions 5times bigger and have the riders towed in?
  • 9 0
 If you take that to it's limit then really anything that isn't on a "mountain" defeats the point of mountain biking... How is having a tow in any different than using a 6 story tall roll in ramp as far as "mountain biking" goes. I'm not trying to argue, more just curious about what makes something mountain biking, and therefore what defeats the point of it. Previously it's been agreed that what defines mountain biking is the type of bike you ride, primarily the wheel size. If you do a dirt jump on a 26 bike it's mountain biking, on 20 it's bmx. If you ride a 20 down a mountain it's still bmx. If you build a wooden ramp and ride your 26 hardtail on it it's mountain biking, even though it's got nothing to do with mountains... Is Aaron Chase's NWD part using a winch to tow him in not mtb either? just some food for thought...

 na dude it's only mountain biking if your are going up or down a mountain, everything else is just commuting. Dirt jumping? commuting. Urban? commuting. Note the tons and TONS of sarcasm Wink

 thanks for the link! It's the same as the video above of Bieve sticking the flip, but you can watch it in HD on vimeo. It was uploaded by Pira Dirtyflow to Pinkbike.
  • 1 0
 ok, so its acceptable for riders at the rampage to get towed in for the 60fter to give them an advantage?
its the same as saying cos i can backflip into a foam pit i can backflip.
  • 4 0
 No, you're comparing very different things....
  • 2 0
 @iambike4lyf I'm sure they could have built a drop in tower for him to use, but don't you think a moto-tow is a little easier, cheaper, less time consuming? and think was to dirt, I don't get your comparison to a foam pit?

 @bedgeburybiker, then he shoulda built a ramp and it would be totally legit
i can't backflip without a foam pit yet, so basically i can't backflip
he couldnt do that without the motor bike, so basically he can't double front flip, yet
  • 4 0
 lol you're an idiot dude, just stop posting, please
  • 2 0
 i think that riding in on a moto is a lot harder, you cant control your speed. a lot more dangerous, id much rather have my own roll in but that'd take way to long.
  • 2 0
 Are ya'll kidding? You're trying to argue that the dude didn't land it?? Pleeeease thats such crap. He landed both feet on the pedals, both wheels on the ground, and rode away at least 50 ft from it. Also it would be hard to believe that a professional DJ rider could not ride away from a wobble such that he had. Disorder films, whos seen em? I think number 8 paul bass lands sideways off a 3 and rides away from it, and numerous other times they do it. Look at his front wheel, wheres it pointed? In the direction he wants to go of course, its legit, and his timing of jumping off the bike at the same time and running is legit too. I wanna see some vids of ya'll, hit a backflip then jump off your bike, bet ya can't do it and not fall on your face.
  • 2 0
 most of the arguing about whether he landed it or not was when they first released the video, which didnt show him hitting dirt, just the rotation. But ya after seeing the complete footage he def landed it

 lears we guarantee you it is made out of one sequence and not " stiched together of two different ones " as for him riding out he rode it out until the bottom of the landing and then jumped off because of exitement. you will see plenty complete videos of this jump soon we just aggreed with some guys not to show the landing at first. this is not fake he landed it and he will land many more at the masters of dirt shows. come on guys give it up for bienve and dont be silly talking about i dont believe this or "this is fake" cheers
  • 5 2
 to prove its not fake:

why not show the video with "him riding it out until the bottom of the landing and jumping off because of excitement"??
  • 6 0
 sorry buddy hampsteadbandit we dont need to prove you anything dude. its a promo clip for the masters of dirt shows " a teaser " teasing his doublefrontflip you get it ? probably by tonight there will be another full video online ! just believe it dude it is like it is. live with it.
  • 1 1
 so where is this video? the longer video posted still shows him sliding on the landing, dropping the bike and running out...

you don't need to prove anything to me, but you've made a bold claim to the 'world' so let's see the evidence

simply, really?
  • 5 1
 So...he doesn't land it but comes very close. They put together all of the clips and cut off the landing on every one of them. I don't know why this would be titled "first double front flip on a mountain bike" because I've seen it attempted before, but nobody has any video footage of somebody riding it off.

Everybody has to be thinking the same thing while watching this? I saw the attempts and got excited, then saw him atleast take the bike all the way around and start to hit land then it cuts off. I got a little more excited for the next shot in slo-mo, but still cut off the landing. Video fades out and credits appear, I see the video still has quite a bit of time left so I continue watching....then it ends. No proof of him landing it...

Awesome attempts either way, not taking anything from him at all...I think a lot of us would just like to see him ride off before he can take that title, that's it.

 no landing??? :S

 damn i was going out to film me doing a double front flip today, but since he beat me to it i guess theres no need :/

 unbelievable... 2 or 3 years ago single frontflip was a sickest trick and gets the biggest notes in competitions.try to imagine what will be "sickest" in near future...
  • 2 0
 who cares if he got bucked off, thats legit enough for me. i was still getting used to regular front flips but i guess we all should have seen this coming with the way things are going. like super flips and no handed front flips. its only gonna get better too!

 this is what this is all about, taking it to the most extreme levels you can think of, it was sooooooooooooo amazing and as famously quted by the king of drops "Bender" it all comes down to one meaning............NATURAL SELECTION. Keep goin big.

 Meu Deus que locura!!! Eu curti muito isso! Realmente é uma cena muito legal de se ver e claro, a sensação é imensurável. Somente vivendo o momento pra saber como é! Obrigado por me prestigiar com isso. Fico realmente feliz em saber que existam pessoas que não se prendem as limitaçòes ou às críticas dos outros para concretizar seus atos. Com muito cuidado. Equipamentos e tudo precisamente estudado com precisão acredito que ainda verei cenas ainda mais fantásticas quanto essa. E com certeza toda e qualquer nova tentativa de romper um limite. Terá como base o que existe hoje. O hoje precisa romper com dogmas e paradigmas para que o amanha não seja tão careta ou chato. E com certeza percebo que não será. Muito bom mesmo!!! E que venha sempre novos truques!

 Sweet. Another trick I will never perform. Smile Awesome.
  • 2 1
 SICK!!!!
BUT......No landing on the video...means no landing IMO....just because there is a "landing" in the photo doesn't mean there was a clean landing....maybe they are saving the entire clip for they're full length video
  • 1 2
 totally agree they did not show the landing because he did not land it clean enough to roll out of the trick,in other words he crashed or slid out unless you roll out of a trick, its not legit!!! its lame putting up a video claiming this awesome trick but we don't see him actually land rider has sick skillz, but this claim is not legit...yet
  • 1 0
 ye your right rob, thats what i thought when i checked the edit, it does not ride away, Hart may of done the first flip on a fmx bike and claimed it but he never rode away, same here, they may claim it but he did not ride away, so cool trick, lame claim

 with out showing him ride it out it doesn't count as the first! And they would have shown it if he did it. But he didn't yet so anything that shows up later wasn't filmed that day or else they would have put it in the video.

 They WILL show the landing, just read what MastersofDirt wrote 3hours before you... And you still have the picture that show it. It's not smooth, but it's landed!

 It looks like to me that he did not land it, all the celebrating seems a bit forced. And on top of all the scene is cut right before the front wheel touches the ground, and he looks quite off balance, as if he`s going over the bars. Would like to see the uncut version tough. That took some BIG BALLS. Kudos

 Sucks that they didn't show the landing in the video, photo sequence is so poorly put together it's hard to tell anything really. It doesn't look like he got bucked looking at it in high res, it looks like he landed, rolled to the bottom and then jumped off the side. Like it's celebration time. I'll try to find out more tomorrow.

 I guess he landed and then jump off the bike celebrating his victory. Video edition is poor, i agree.
