Best back flip ever.

Not even a back flip.

[–]MarioBGE 190 points191 points ago

Also not funny. Put it in /r/gifs, OP.

[–]Mcflexington 153 points154 points ago

Also, fuck your !'s.

[–]SirTheBob 120 points121 points ago

Also, fuck that space after "ever" that doesn't need to be there.

[–]amsfer9 101 points102 points ago

Also, capitalize the first letter of your post.

[–]Chazzey_dude 78 points79 points ago

Also, if you're going to use the word 'back-flip', at least use a hyphen to connect them.

[–]Jellyman64 101 points102 points ago

Tl;dr: OP, you are a faggot.

[–]Wolfy87 77 points78 points ago

Also, repost.

This is possibly the worst post I have ever seen.

[–]HeresMyTrollFace 23 points24 points ago

Have you clicked some of those links? These are...slightly edited. You didn't think it was weird that it was labeled NSFW? Not quite the same gif (NSFW!)

[–]anthereddit 13 points14 points ago

Oh god, that is quality content.

[–]TKOS7 1 point2 points ago

Came for the backflip, stayed for the goatse

[–]Maximuqq 4 points5 points ago

Also, repost the repost after all above corrections have been made.

[–]damotron500 2 points3 points ago

not a single repost was posted to /r/gifs

[–]readdingit 3 points4 points ago

Now, I understand that we're all on the OP hatin' gravy train here but "backflip" and "back flip" are valid spellings for the word "back-flip" is not.

[–]Chazzey_dude 1 point2 points ago

You called my bluff. All of the good corrections were taken!

[–]Gaminic 1 point2 points ago

Seriously, the only reason any amount other than zero or one is justified is when you're being very, very ironic.

[–]TheKingofPanclark 2 points3 points ago

OH OP HAHAHAHAHA THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH!!!

it belongs in r/gifs

[–]That1guyUmightknow 4 points5 points ago

The funny part is that a wood chipper was on the other side.

[–]evan331212 0 points1 point ago

Back handsprings technically qualify as a backwards flip.

[–]TheThingToSay -4 points-3 points ago

Lol, I didn't even realize that until I saw your comment. It was still pretty cool though. Also,..how to become paralyzed 101.

[–]Dentzu -4 points-3 points ago

Steal comment.

Acquire karma.

[–]Dead_Rooster 102 points103 points ago

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Seriously, fuck you OP.

[–]EpicJ 11 points12 points ago

At least it wasn't the goatse version

[–]Dead_Rooster 10 points11 points ago

At least that would have been funny.

[–]oliverMcMayonnaise -4 points-3 points ago

Why so much hostility towards the post poster?

[–]ZeroOne_01 3 points4 points ago

:/

[–]MrAbomidable 12 points13 points ago

Someone rolled 20 in agility and dexterity.

[–]baberg 3 points4 points ago

What ruleset are you playing where it has stats for both Agility and Dexterity?

[–]MrAbomidable 1 point2 points ago

You cught me i only played DnD once.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]buster2Xk 3 points4 points ago

Yeah he's right. The maximum any stat can roll to in any game ever is 18. Especially whatever game you were talking about, MrAbomidable.

[–]Hiphoppington 0 points1 point ago

[–]laffman 2 points3 points ago

Waited a year for his 2012 showreel, i hope it happens soon! :)

Edit: anyone got a suggestion for more videos like his?

[–]Addeman83 5 points6 points ago

My friend is on the Swedish national teamgym team. He is "quite" good...

[–]laffman 0 points1 point ago

Häftigt!

[–]minasmorath 1 point2 points ago

It's always amazing to me that gymnasts can pop 10 feet or more into the air off of a flat hard surface. That black track is made of fiberglass. Just fiberglass. Holy wow.

[–]Hi_Im_Dark_Nihilus -1 points0 points ago

I'm here for my Damian Walters t-shirt.

[–]Destrae 0 points1 point ago

Only if you can flip out of the one you're wearing first.

[–]Destrae 0 points1 point ago

Best comment on that video: "He isn't bald, his hair just hasn't caught up to him yet." Pro.

[–]kel634 14 points15 points ago

adding 14 exclamation marks makes everything funny?

[–]Montgomrie 3 points4 points ago

God dammit. Now I've got to count them.

Edit: there are, in fact, 14.

[–]Sphynks 38 points39 points ago

Where's the funny cunt?

[–]DanceDanceEvolution 25 points26 points ago

Got enough fucking exclamation marks there?

[–]buster2Xk 6 points7 points ago

no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]T0PHER911 0 points1 point ago

Never. Enough. Exclamation marks.

[–]GlitchLord2 18 points19 points ago

Wow, OP is strange. He writes this post like he is 11 years old, yet his most recent comment is this:

But if it is a privately owned company, he should be able to give his profits wherever he wants. I'm sure that gay-owned companies support their causes with their profits, too. And, no, he is NOT forcing his views on his customers. Eating a chicken sandwich has NEVER forced me to take a stand on any issue.

[–]Gabe_b 4 points5 points ago

So he's an articulate 12 year old. The late tween/early teen years are generally the most homophobic age.

[–]GlitchLord2 3 points4 points ago

Why would he write the title with such poor grammar if he has clearly demonstrated that he can use grammar correctly?

[–]delabass 5 points6 points ago

because best karma ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]GlitchLord2 2 points3 points ago

Wonderful.

[–]seafoamstratocaster 2 points3 points ago

That's not necessarily a homophobic stance.

Just sayin'.

[–]denhi 5 points6 points ago

There was no backflip here

[–]Software_Engineer 40 points41 points ago

THERE IS A VERSION OF THIS GIF WHERE HE LEAPS INTO GOATSE, BE CAREFUL

Someone will probably post that version of the gif in this thread, so be careful about links you click here.

[–]segura_7 69 points70 points ago

[–]StepOfDub 23 points24 points ago

Now, this version is funny.

[–]speedboatjesus -2 points-1 points ago

Agreed, i literally can't not laugh at that version!

[–]highsloth 26 points27 points ago

Don't know why I clicked that...

Dead dove. Do not click.

[–]IronLung420 0 points1 point ago

I prefer the term Stoner.

[–]Gabe_b 7 points8 points ago

Huh, I've seen that before, but I hadn't seen the original till now. I should really reassess my internet choices.

[–]DraconicEnigma 2 points3 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

[–]Kohuded -1 points0 points ago

I should really start reading things in bold text before looking at pictures. Damn you RES.

[–]evereal -1 points0 points ago

For people who want to watch that gif, but don't want to watch that gif - this is a technique I use:

Squint your eyes so that anything you see is really blurry/fuzzy, then watch the gif. You won't see detail and therefore you wont be scarred for life, but you can still make out the gist of it. Works for most NSFL videos too.

[–]DrDWayneLove 4 points5 points ago

The first time I ever saw Goatse was this gif.

[–]hiding_from_my_gf 3 points4 points ago

consider yourself lucky. its much worse when its full screen on the website.

[–]this_sort_of_thing 4 points5 points ago

To be fair, I only came into the comment threads just to see someone post the goatse version, that's right.

[–]RNRSaturday 2 points3 points ago

...still waiting for the gif.

[–]OuchLOLcom -1 points0 points ago

[–]ToiletMayonnaiseAss -1 points0 points ago

Was not disappointed

[–]Nyan69 4 points5 points ago

Needs more explanation marks

[–]Dentzu 8 points9 points ago

There are zero backflips in this gif; point of fact, there are no flips of any kind in this gif.

[–]Magrippinho -1 points0 points ago

There is one in the middle, before the crazy backwards jump into the fort.

[–]Dentzu 2 points3 points ago

Nope, that's a back handspring. It's akin to a cartwheel, not a flip.

[–]Magrippinho 1 point2 points ago

TIL, cheers!

[–]crazy2thestarz 4 points5 points ago

that's really awesome but I'm sure if you found the right sub you could get to the front page with it

[–]explodr 3 points4 points ago

The back flip wasn't really the cool part

Link to the video.

[–]lezazA 2 points3 points ago

when he makes the jump, if you look at the floor, there is a thing that pushes him (don't know the English term for it). I'm not saying it's less cool because of it, but at least it explains how the fuck he can gain so much momentum.

[–]mj5748 2 points3 points ago

Round off back handspring back handspring. Not funny, post in r/gifs

[–]Adamzxd 0 points1 point ago

Here Check all his show reels! they're amazing

[–]SuckMyGoldfish 0 points1 point ago

Not really a backflip, more of a back hand spring

[–]Maxplatypus 0 points1 point ago

Looks like he is jumping into a butt.

[–]Parkourdude 0 points1 point ago

Well if we go by gymnastics terms here, I'm pretty sure back handsprings are considered backflips and what we consider backflips are actually called backtucks.

[–]sugarfalcon 1 point2 points ago

How is this funny?

[–]LuckyDuck77 -1 points0 points ago

holy fuck this is old!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]amalik91 0 points1 point ago

[–]TheLastBadger 0 points1 point ago

[–]xrowell 0 points1 point ago

this has to be in reverse...

[–]MIKEoxinurface 0 points1 point ago

I would like someone who believes this... To explain the details of how such a thing could be done and just ignore the implications of such a stunt.

[–]kirwinator94 -1 points0 points ago

Didn't realise they were filming me...

[–]Kitsunami 0 points1 point ago

No flips involved.

[–]MIKEoxinurface 0 points1 point ago

I find it sad that evidentially me and OP are the only ones who think this is hilariously awesome.

[–]rocketsjman1 0 points1 point ago

but he never did a back flip?

[–]Iceberg_Sim -1 points0 points ago

OK, who's got the other version of this gif with him jumping through a butthole?

[–]StarHat -1 points0 points ago

Whats up with the exclamation marks? What are you, 10?

[–]T0PHER911 0 points1 point ago

This GIF reversed is height defying mad man who is amazing at landing front hand springs.

[–]Blagginspaziyonokip 0 points1 point ago

Someone post the version where he shoots into goatse.

[–]cardstocks 0 points1 point ago

maybe OP is trying to make a point by writing his title like this and posting something not funny in r/funny.

he's like an artist. a really, really bad artist.

[–]miss-sawa 1 point2 points ago

Haven't seen this for a while, but thanks for shouting at me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!111!!!

[–]Deestan 0 points1 point ago

I wonder which is imaginably louder, exclamation mark or uppercase.

BEST POST EVER.

or

best post ever !!!!!!!!

[–]miss-sawa 1 point2 points ago

Regarding the full stop you added, it's clearly

best post ever !!!!!!!!

While

BEST POST EVER.

is more some sort of jolly expressioning the awesomeness,

best post ever !!!!!!!!

just gets obnoxious. Note the space between "ever" and the exclamation marks. Just makes it worse and the poster more obnoxious.

Nope. Here's what you're looking for. Although it does look pretty cool in reverse...

[–]kungfu_kickass 0 points1 point ago

I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't look like it's reversed, but it's certainly possible for someone to do all those moves in reverse.
