The world’s first bmx triple backlift was successfully landed by a Kiwi rider today.

24-year-old Jed Mildon, a BMXer from New Zealand, attempted and completed a never-been-done BMX jump in his hometown of Taupo.

Hosted at the free-to-the-public Unit T3 Mindtricks BMX Jam, Mildon will attempt, what Unit Clothing's Simon Makker calls, "At least one world-first on what is arguably one of the biggest roll-in set-ups in the history of action sports."

He bailed out on his first attempt but in true Kiwi style never gave in until he nailed the big one.

Watch the video and be amazed.
