I saw this on the news this morning, back flip with an avy at your tails, wild!...and lucky. He must have seen it during his rotation, don't you think?

so he flips it anyway? That's ballsy as shiite

It certainly is!
He must have thought that the height of the ridge he flipped off of would protect him from it. Of course, only after he stuck the landing could he see it approaching on his right side as well.

Probably thought it was his last chance to pull one! Going out in style! Did he win the competition? I hope so.
