Paris Rosen Crashes Attempting Front Flip During Moto X Best Trick Contest At X Games 16

Paris Rosen crashed hard after attempting a front flip during the Moto X Best Trick contest at the X Games 16 in Los Angeles.

Before his practice session, Paris Rosen, 29, had problems with the carburettor on his bike and had to stop to fix his bike. Because of this, Rosen was unable to practice and lost confidence in his bike and his ability to land the front flip.

During the attempt, everything seemed to go wrong. The bike only flipped about halfway as Rosen land hard on his back with the bike nearly falling on him. Rosen lied motionless for several minutes in front of thousands of shocked and silent fans. Medical personnel loaded Rosen onto a stretcher where paramedics rushed him to the hospital.

Doctors reported that Rosen was able to move his arms and legs and should fully recover.

When I was young, it took me weeks, if not months to learn how to do a kickflip on a skateboard. Each time I fell, I always thought I was tough and would dust myself off and try again. Only now do I realize what a pansy I was.

Other than Travis Pastrana's double backflip a few years ago, this has to be one of the most insane tricks I have ever seen attempted, successfully or not.
