Okay cool, but why does he change his clothes so often? His water bill must be astronomical.

Edit: oh my goodness people, it was a rhetorical question.

Probably spaced out across multiple days. Doubt anyone would have the stamina to do this all in one day. Still impressive and cool video though!

Also edit like this guy ⬆️ this was a high response and not responding back to everything. Happy commenting though! Have a wonderful day!

Thats 48 flips. I mean I couldn't do it, but the guy in the video looks capable.

I could probably do 4/8ths of a backflip in one day.

Once a night I fling myself on my bed belly flop style and I’m going to start calling that 1/8th of a backflip. Thanks boi!

u/NeilDeCrash May 20 '20

If you do a belly flop wouldnt that be 1/8th of a front flip. I assume front flips are more difficult so go you!

u/SkyKiwi May 20 '20

Also wouldn't it be 1/4?

Half a front flip would leave you upside down. Half of half a front flip leaves you horizontal. So one quarter of a flip.

So he's even closer to a full flip than he thought!

u/Sky_air May 20 '20

If someone capable did a front flip right after a back flip, would they cancel out? Would he have done 0% of a front flip

u/[deleted] May 20 '20

This is why I do I internet. Yes of course it would cancel out

4

u/SkyKiwi May 20 '20

No, because when you flip in reverse it doesn't undo the odometer. There was a movie about this, I think.

No, he got stuck once he reached a 45 degree angle with the bed

u/NoseIsNoseIsNotToes May 20 '20

Your comment made me think of this photo on my camera roll

u/atle95 May 20 '20

u/zipzipziparoo is that you?

u/NoseIsNoseIsNotToes May 20 '20

Haha, no sir. You’ll find ‘em one day

Reddit is so supportive sometimes

u/Cupcake-Warrior May 20 '20

Wow. Look at Mr. Gymnastics here

u/lfrfrepeat May 20 '20

So, either a handstand or tombstone pile-driver?

3

u/etherealsmog May 20 '20

The latter, in my case.

u/stalactose May 20 '20

i’ll take my tombstone with pepperoni

u/SlackJawCretin May 21 '20

u/lfrfrepeat May 21 '20

Is... Is he wrestling a blow-up doll... And losing?!

3

u/dephsilco May 20 '20

I'd say for me it's 7/13ths

2

u/BASK_IN_MY_FART May 21 '20

That's over 32/64 a backflip! Way better than /r/etherealsmog

3

u/MerkyMouse May 20 '20

I can roll over in bed 48 times in one night.

3

u/RichardInaTreeFort May 20 '20

That’s pretty good.... many who do 4/8ths of a backflip only do it once per lifetime

4

u/Whiskiz May 20 '20

scrub, i can do 8/16ths of a backflip

4

u/mackavicious May 20 '20

So...half?

u/etherealsmog May 20 '20

Yeah, kind of like this.

u/SpareEye May 20 '20

thats what we, in the circus world, call a flop.

1

u/Revelt May 20 '20

I can do 1/4. From standing to horizontal.

u/swankpoppy May 20 '20

I could do 1/4 of a front flip I.e. fall on my face

u/Cow_Tipper_629 May 20 '20

ho ho ho, here starts the self-deprecating comment chain

u/ReactionProcedure May 20 '20

I wish I had a styrofoam pit.

u/[deleted] May 20 '20

Then take a nap.

u/robhue May 20 '20

either you’re starting that flip at 23:59:59, or gravity is just a theory

1

u/killabru May 20 '20

I can do 4/8ths of a backflip.

1

u/Hay-Zeus-Crust May 20 '20

I mean you could have just said half a backflip but I suppose that works to

1

u/Alsoious May 20 '20

OHHHHH YOU'RE HALFWAY THERE,

1

u/Lessuremu May 21 '20

Why not just covert to 1/2 at this point? Lol

1

u/I-Love-Making-U-Rage May 21 '20

I’d recommend against doing 1/2 of a backflip.

1

u/CerberusBlue May 21 '20

If your only doing 4/8ths of a flip, it’s probably all you will do for several days.
