[scem0]

Here's two videos of yours truly:

Video One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGzeDsF0lHI)

Video Two (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rw6wxTDtbXY)

Call me a showoff or call me... eh, just call me a showoff :).

[scem0]

erm, I don't know how this became a thread, I meant it for the macrumors pic thread. The videos aren't exciting or impressive enough to be in their own thread :(.

[TheMonarch]

Whoa. I wish I could do half of that... Better yet, I wish I could do a handstand in the first place :o

[cslewis]

Holy crap! I wanna learn how to do stuff like that!

Teach me, scem0! :p

[jadekitty24]

I can't help but think that I would break my neck if I even attempted that! :eek:

[devilot]

I like your jeans. :D Oh, and yeah, it is quite impressive.

[njmac]

very impressive. It's funny you say your out of shape in the video - you look like your in great shape. :)

[mjstew33]

Oh wow, that's impressive. You do it really fast. :o

[Aarow]

Impressive. Were/are you in a gymnastics class?

Holy crap! I wanna learn how to do stuff like that!

Teach me, scem0!

I don't know how! You have to take things one step at a time. Start with a front roll. Hell, start with a jump. Just jump up and land on your feet, nothing fancy. Perfect that, then move on :).

I can't help but think that I would break my neck if I even attempted that!

Maybe I should have included a warning - "Do not attempt at home" ;).

I like your jeans. Oh, and yeah, it is quite impressive.

Thank you! They are from H&M :D.

very impressive. It's funny you say your out of shape in the video - you look like your in great shape.

Thank you, but I'm not! I've lost a lot of muscle weight since moving from New York to Austin, mostly in my legs. I've also stopped doing acrobatics, so those were the first flips I had done in a long time, which is why I couldn't land a frickin' easy as pie backflip. ;)

Oh wow, that's impressive. You do it really fast.

Do I? :) I think it's pretty slow compared to most acrobatics you see on TV etc. Thank you though!

Impressive. Were/are you in a gymnastics class?

Thank you! I was a diver for 5 years, competitive on a prenational team for 3 of those years, but that was from the ages of 8 to 13, so that was ages ago. I've always been infatuated with flipping and tumbling. It's been a hobby of mine. If I was aiming to impress y'all, I'd be on a trampoline :D. Trampolining was introduced into the olympics at the height of my diving career (can you call it that?), and I seriously considered quitting diving to pursue trampolining. I can do crazy things on a good trampoline :D.

showoff!

hah :D.

[IanF0729]

I haven't done that in years...you make me want to do it again.

At this point, though, I'm so out of practice I would break my neck! :(

Nice job, by the way!

[mkrishnan]

Very nice, sir! Thank you for sharing! :):):)

[Sharewaredemon]

That was cool!

And timely considering yesterday I saw this (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/7203/matrix_for_real/) video.

Though he is better than you, I like watching yours cause you post here, and are a "normal human."

[njmac]

How about a trampoline video for us?

[iGary]

My discs are popping just watching it. :(

Well, uh, you just got smoked!






JK ; )

[calebjohnston]

Bitch, you just got served.

[Eevee]

You are flex-i-ble! :D

Wish I could be as flexible with my armor on...:D

[rockthecasbah]

I like your jeans. :D Oh, and yeah, it is quite impressive.
i was going to say the same thing! Anyway...cool videos. I use to take gymnastics when i was 5ish but didn't get much further than very basic stuff. I wasn't very ambitious about it :)

[scem0]

How about a trampoline video for us?

I'm missing two very important things to do so :). 1) A Trampoline and 2) a video camera! :D.

I broke both of them, unfortunately. I broke my trampoline by bouncing too high and tearing right through the center of it, and I broke my camera just two days ago by dropping it :(.

If you broke them both at the same time I would be scared / worried.

I should take some video of me riding my Dirtbike, and crashing.. I have done some similar tumbles roles and handsprings while crashing. Fortunately I have not been seriously hurt yet, with the exception of breaking 3 bones in my foot :( .

[hpzine]

Thats so awesome... I always used to wanna learn how to do that kinda stuff...
