The talons, with their frame design , the front wheels set back from the front end of the frame don't make for very good jumpers. The swing arm rear suspension tends to kick the rear high and causes that extended front "nose" to dig in. In effect, you flip end over end. Not pretty! Your lucky to walk away!
Tom Stevens @ Kidinme was the first to actually get a flip on film. Tom had just receives his very first buggy and had his son filming his riding. It was one of those" Hey yall! Watch This!" moments. Took a jump wrong, the buggy nosed dived and did a series of endo flips. Tom received some back injuries he still feels at times. That flip was infamously dubbed the "Kidinme maneuver" and is still referred as such to this day.
