Andreas Bergmark Lands Seven Consecutive Backflips
Seven jumps. Seven backflips. One single run – with no room for error. In Tänndalen, Sweden, snowmobile rider Andreas Bergmark took on a specially built 200-metre course where every single backflip had to be landed perfectly.

Andreas Bergmark comes from Fällfors, a small village outside Skellefteåin northern Sweden, and has been riding snowmobiles since childhood.Today, he is considered one of the world’s leading snowmobile riders,known for spectacular tricks and ambitious projects. In 2024, he set theworld record for the longest snowmobile backflip.
In Tänndalen, however, an entirely different kind of challenge awaited him.
Next to the ski area, 15,000 cubic metres of snow were gathered toconstruct a roughly 200-metre course featuring seven large jumps and atunnel made entirely of snow. The goal was to land seven consecutive backflips – all in one continuous run.

“Landing one backflip on a snowmobile is one thing. Doing seven in a rowis something completely different. We needed to make the snowmobilelighter, and every jump and landing had to be built so I could maintain arhythm throughout the entire course. Once I set off, there wasn’t muchroom for error – I just had to land them one after another,” says AndreasBergmark.
No room for error
Bergmark normally rides backcountry terrain and soft powder snow. Thistime, the surface was hard-packed, resulting in significantly harder landings and placing completely different demands on his ability to control thespecially modified 200-kilogram snowmobile.
After each backflip, he had to quickly regain his balance, position thesnowmobile correctly and prepare for the next jump. A mistake on any ofthe early jumps could bring the entire attempt to an end.

The weather presented another challenge. Even small changes in windspeed could have a major impact while the snowmobile was airborne,forcing Bergmark and the production team to wait for the right conditions.
Eventually, the wind dropped. Bergmark set off, landed all seven backflips,rode through the snow tunnel and completed the entire course in a singlerun lasting around 45 seconds.
“After the first jump, everything happened incredibly fast. I was just trying tofind my rhythm and take one backflip at a time, because I knew thesmallest mistake could ruin the entire run. When I landed the seventh andrealised we had actually done it, the feeling was insane. We had worked forso long for just a few seconds where absolutely everything had to cometogether,” says Andreas Bergmark.

For Bergmark, the project was not about pulling off the biggest individualtrick – it was about delivering seven times in a row when everything wason the line.
