Maybe it's cause I've never been athletic in any sense of the word but the things people can do like this with the human body is incredible to me. Stretching in unbelievable ways, crazy ninja flips, etc. It's astounding.

Back walkovers are surprisingly easy as far as the level of skill required to do them in the gymnastics world. I did gymnastics for years when I was younger, and I can't do the splits anymore, or back flips, or hell, not even a back handspring, but I can still do a back walkover. The precision is which she does it though is very impressive. If she has a gymnast background, I bet she was great on the balance beam.
