backflips



I've started a new blog/repository for clips of people doing backflips with an almost unbelievable array of techniques and equipment.

This isn't totally frivolous as it sounds, as to me, a backflip represents everything good and great about being human, like:

* dedication
* play
* athleticism
* now-ism
* bravery
* freedom

here's a couple of clips to show you what I mean:

wheelchair backflip



the double moonsault
by they way this is a cute example for Herd readers out there - listen to the spontaneous crowd chanting
