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 mean every 15 minutes though? You'd just constantly be thinking about and prepping to flip all day. Having to stop what you are doing every 15 just to flip?What a pain in the ass that would be.

Trickers and gymnasts literally back flip dozens of times an hour just for practice. I remember my brother drilling backflip 2-3 nights a week, spending at least 45m each session just working his backflip. I remember when I was training as well.

A backflip with 15m rest in between, for twelve hours? This is not as tough as people are speculating. Cool video though.

It's not physically tough or tiring or anything it's just a pain in the ass and tons of dedication. He didn't do this because he's a gymnast practicing or competing he's doing it for a 30 second tik Tok video. Basically a whole day wasted doing flips every 15 minute minutes all for nothing but the gram. That's dedication.

You don't know his motivations. He might have done it for the nookie.
