Double Trouble Belgium's William Van de Putte is the next in line to take the double backflip to dirt.
By Ryan Leyba

In the past we've seen how learning the double backflip can elevate a rider's career to the next level and sometimes even make a rider's career, i.e. Scott Murray. But there's obviously a reason that you don't see the majority of professional FMX riders messing with the dub flip — it's the most dangerous trick to ever be thrown on a dirt bike. Case in point, Cameron Sinclair's near-fatal crash in Madrid, Spain earlier this year.
But for some reason, Sinclair's crash, Murray's inconsistency and the general lack of participation from the industry hasn't phased Belgium rider William Van den Putte. Within the past few months, William has been posting videos on YouTube of himself hucking the double backflip into a foam pit. With each and every video he posts, his actual height and distance become larger, looking more spectacular than any double flip we've seen yet.
I hit up William to try and understand why he's on a mission to master the most dangerous trick in the world and why he's doing it on such a gnarly setup. Check out what the Belgium ripper had to say.
