    Imagine a load a scumbags coming up to you, start doing the human flag on a bustop and see them leg it! That flag is crazy stuff, showed a mate of mine who was convinced it had to be camera trickery.


    Or good for escaping

    NOT!!! I have a spine, which rules me out :eek:. Speaking of which, are there any good stretches for back flexibility?

    Yeah the one I posted literally blew everyone away as it was mainly strength based elements and ther only swinging he had in it was the required elements ie one forward swing to support, one backwards and the dismount.

    I think they had to change the scoring system after that rountine iirc

    A waste of talent spent dancing?;)

    Is that first video something which most people just can't do? Surely that is natural.

    Actually funnily enough, when I was in Paris last March, me and the lady were on the Metro... group of teen lads got on, and would do flags during the trip, then get out and breakdance when the train stopped.

    Bizarre stuff!

    It was novel, bear in mind that's from '91. It's the initial muscle-up I found most godlike...

    cheers rubadub :) I ordered mine already (come on... come on) but passed that info onto a mate who's keen on them. Nice one.

    The height he gets on his very last jump - extraordinary!
    All these videos are great. You can show me all the physique before/after pics in the world, but this stuff (all these videos) are what's truly inpirational.
