Caleb Moore and Johnny Hale Rip It Up - Video
It’s been a little while since we checked in to see what ATV video guru Blake Shipman has been up to. Turns out he’s been busy and has three new ATV videos already released in April.
Shipman’s most recent release features freestyle king Caleb Moore killing it at the Little Sahara Sand Dunes in Utah in his RZR XP 900 and what appears to be an old TRX450R. Few ATV riders seem more comfortable with all four wheels off the ground than Moore.

Derek Guetter Reloaded
We found two more great videos from the folks at QuadFreestyle.com featuring Derek Guetter.
The first video starts off with some shots of Guetter and some nasty looking crashes before getting to some of the best ATV freestyle goodies you’ll see anywhere – a real joy to watch. Guetter rides an ATV like a character in a video game.
Beyond Guetter’s brilliance, this video was very well produced and features some beautiful video that we can only assume was shot from cranes and helicopters. With all the fluff, nonsense and unwatchable garbage we see everyday on YouTube, it’s a pleasure to come across something like this once in a while.
The second video is all about Guetter mastering the back flip. He talks about wanting to get it done for five years before he finally landed one. Check them both out after the jump.

ATV freestyler Derek Guetter makes his living pulling off tricks on his ATV that most of us wouldn’t even consider. We showed you his first successful backflip on at ATV in a previous post. Unfortunately, we now have to show you his first unsuccessful backflip.
Guetter was in Indianapolis for the Nuclear Cowboyz tour when things didn’t go quite as planned. Guetter was getting the crowd amped up with a variety of tricks before he planned to wow them with his signature backflip. This time, however, Guetter came up short on the landing and crashed. Check out the video after the jump.

The folks at LP Motocross put together a fantastic video of ATV freestyler Derek Guetter preparing for and landing his first ever back flip to dirt.
Though the clip is under two minutes in length, you get to watch Guetter make a few practice jumps into a foam pit before he tries to land it on dirt. You can also see just how much the entire process meant to him as he celebrates wildly at the end of the video.
Guetter is currently travelling across the United States on the Nuclear Cowboyz Tour with some of the top two-wheel freestyle riders on the planet. Check out the video after the jump.
