Video: BMX riders attempt world's first triple front flip - did they pull it off?

Ryan Williams and Andrew Ahumada go face-to-face for Nitro Circus promo

A video of what is being hailed as the first ever triple front flip on a BMX bike has been released by Nitro Circus, the extreme sports brand founded by Travis Pastrana that tours with live shows as well as partnering with entertainment outlets such as MTV for television shows.

The video sees Ryan Williams – who pulls off some mean stunts on scooters too, as previously featured on road.cc – face off with Andrew Ahumada to see who can be first to pull off the stunt.

Without giving too much away, the first few times each attempts it, there are some pretty hard landings that certainly made us wince.

The Nitro Circus Tour will be coming to Europe in 2016, with three dates in the UK – at the Manchester Arena on Tuesday 2 February, the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on Thursday 4 February, and the O2 in London on Saturday 6 February.
