How to: Backflips and 360s

To do a backflip, hold the stunt button and pull back with the reflex stick while coming off the lip of a jump. The quicker your pull back is, the faster the rotation. And its all about timing it correctly. Doing a 360 is very similar, but you need to roll the right stick. Either starting by pulling back, and roll to the side. Or roll from the side and roll into pulling back. Think of it like doing a backflip, but adding a twist. The more you throw it sideways, the more flat your 360 will be. Sure, you can do a backflip or a 360 just by spinning a whip around. But the downside is you can't combine freestyle tricks because you are busy holding the reflex stick to get the bike to spin. The legit backflip and 360's kinda have the game handle the rotation so that your reflex stick is free to allow you to pull off fmx stunts in combination. Like everything else in this game, doing a backflip or 360 is kind of a loose formula. Depending on how you work the sticks, you may have a different style than your buddy. Keep in mind the left stick is independent from the right. Mix it up try new things and call your style your own!
