If you look at this with your phone turned 90 degree clockwise, it still kinda make sense.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t try this stunt at home or anywhere else. This was world freestyle champion Eigo Sato and partner doing a 180-degree airbourne somersault. I was a former motocross racer and that made it a little easier anticipating their moves through the camera. This was only a mild stunt in Eigo Sato&#8217;s books. For a couple of his extreme aerial stunts, scroll down my timeline to around 47 to 48 weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Eigo Sato died doing what he loved best. He succumbed to injuries while training for the 2013 Red Bull X-Fighters tour near his home in Iwaki City, Japan in February 2013.<\/p>\n<p>R.I.P.
