Robin Goomes made Crankworx history on Friday, becoming the first woman to land a backflip during Crankworx competition.
The New Zealand rider landed her historic trick during early rounds of the Dual Speed & Style competition. Goomes kept flipping perfectly all the way through the women’s semi-final round, when she lost to Canada’s Vaea Verbeeck on time.
In the bronze medal match, Goomes kept it going, pushing women’s competition forward with another perfect flip.
