Watch This World Record Mountain Bike Backflip

You want extreme? We've got extreme. Here's supremely cool video of the biggest mountain bike backflip in history. We get our first look at the 0:50 mark, then a couple of slow-motion replays at 1:45.

The stunt comes from the Red Bull Rampage competition in Utah, thanks to biker Cam Zink. His 78-foot downhill backflip set a new world record, said event organizers.

Amazingly enough, Zink only finished third in the event. But he did take home the event's best trick award — so there is still some shred of justice in this cold sports world.
