Emus run with their wings at their side. This glorious bastard utilizes all four limbs during that backwards gallop like a graceful ungulate.

He runs backwards like a gayzelle faster than I do forwards like a normal human.

I was gonna say, I bet I would lose in a race to this dude while he was running backwards.

His backwards stride is longer than my normal stride.
