episode 28: Rewriting FMX and BMX backflip history - with Jason Ryan
Jason Ryan is currently producing one hell of a documentary called "Out of the Loop : The Jose Yanez Documentary" which will re-write Action Sports history, detailing the story of the first ever back flip on a motorcycle which was landed by BMX Pro rider, Jose Yanez in 1991.
If you haven't heard the name Jose Yanez before, you're like most of us who had not either. 9 years before Carey Hart launched his CR250 upside down at Gravity Games, Jose had already landed a motorcycle flip on his RM80 with very little recognition at all.
The reason this all came about, was the Riders Lounge Podcast interview with Jarryd McNeil (https://ridersloungepodcast.podlink.to/jarrydmcneil) where he blew my mind with footage of Jose, and the fact that neither of us had never seen it.
That's where the award winning filmmaker, Jason Ryan, comes in!
This new movie shows how the BMX legend who landed the first ever Backflip on a BMX bike, then went and landed it on a motorcycle. And how the BMX media and FMX media for that matter, haven't really recognised either achievements.
And there's even more! Jose Yanez even attempted something crazier in 1983 before all of this started and you'll find all about that in this interview!
This is one history lesson you won't fall asleep too in class!
