BMX rider lands an insane bikeflip trick at the X Games and wins gold

‘Do a flip’.

ZACH WARDEN WON gold in GoPro BMX Big Air with an unprecedented back flip bikeflip late tailwhip.

Warden calls his tongue-twisting, mind-melting move the “Iron Lotus.” He followed the move with a triple tailwhip at more than 13 feet above the 27-foot quarterpipe.

Warden won gold in the same event last month in X Games Brazil; however, at that event he only threw the “Iron Lotus” without the late tailwhip.

The 2013 X Games follows a new format. For the first time, events were held in six host cities. The travelling tour began in Aspen, Colorado before heading to Tignes in France, Foz do Iguacu (Brazil) and Barcelona. Munich will host from 27-30 June and Los Angeles will wrap things up 1-4 August.

Here’s Warden’s sick trick (the commentators lose it):
