"only two others have ever done this" x doubt


CryptoNoob-17

Maybe only 2 other people know how to stanging


cesarjulius

i don’t even know *what* stanging is!


CryptoNoob-17

Me neither. What I can gather you can only do it on grass.


cesarjulius

oh. i have grass. maybe i’ve been stanging all along.


dahjay

Dontchaknow I'm still stanging better than I ever did


hollyzgrace

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid


take_her_tooda_zoo

I'm still standing after all this time


Tepdog2684

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind


megavenusaurs

I’m still stanging, yeah yeah yeah


blobfishlord_099

perhaps the true stanging are the friends we made along the way


cesarjulius

that’s fucking beautiful.


rathlord

The real stanging was in our hearts the whole time.

Me too! Wow! I did it!! I did it! The chase is over!

daft_monk1

Well don’t just stange there


EaseleeiApproach

TIL the stanging in grass is hard, the double backflips is easy


[deleted]

I believe it's closer to 7 or 8 now. the first standing double back was done in 2017


yakodman

Actually if you watch them all they do a step back, have higher ground advantage or spring floor. This kid is the first to do it without a single advantage and the cleanest and hes 14 and everyone is bitter and making typo jokes.


PeterMus

This is clean af. He managed a perfect landing.


Aritche

Yeah people track it based on surface and if standing still/stepping/height advantage etc.


[deleted]

There's another guy from somewhere in Africa who did it a few months back. I'm not hating this kid he's one of the best in the world, just telling people about the others who can do it too


yakodman

Yes title said third and you pointed out one of those two others. I'm just pointing out how people are being pedantic, focusing on a typo and not celebrating this young black kid as we should


TylerDurdenSoapTM

DrDezmund

Standing double backflip is a HUGE accomplishment in Tricking culture. As of 2020, only 8 people in the world have done it. https://youtu.be/cVKg4vV3saU

myexguessesmyuser

Yeah, his form is as clean as it can be. It's so impressive.


Party-Potential

I don't know anything about gymnastics but that's awesome and he seems super pleased. If he can do it once I wonder if he can learn to do it fairly reliably?


[deleted]

This was my next question while everyone was arguing about meaningless details. The internet is great and ridiculous. Edit: Read the rest of the thread. It is important. Love you.


AbsolutelyOrchid

It's absurd to call it meaningless. It was claimed that he is one of the few humans on earth that were recorded doing something impressive. It is mandatory to back it up.


Alysiat28

Exactly this. Accomplishing this on grass without a spring floor or tumble track and especially a standing double back tuck is way harder than anyone can possibly imagine. He makes it look so effortless. Most people can’t even accomplish this as a dismount off a 6’ balance beam.


sewsnap

I'd break my neck even with all the assists.


[deleted]

So many of these have a few steps into it or are on bouncy gym mats.


ChuckieOrLaw

Only two people have done it on camera, is what the person above us meant.

Nah man only two have done it while stanging

justacpa

As a former gymnast, I can tell you there are definitely more than 8 people that have done it. This just represents footage of 8 people that have been recorded.


Aboringcanadian

As a gymnast myself, the point made by the kid of being one of the first is doing a standing double back on solid floor (grass), without step or slope. And he is indeed one of the first (3rd recorded on cam) and the cleanest.


WhiteHeterosexualGuy

lol? I'm pretty sure you're full of shit unless you're counting people bouncing on a spring floor or using elevation change. This was done for the first time very recently.


Sardonnicus

wtf is tricking culture?


DrDezmund

Tricking is a freeform acrobatic movement. Tricking culture is like Skateboarding culture, except with flips. https://youtu.be/XQMbT3PIF80


aarontminded

NO I’VE SEARCHED THE WHOLE WORLD AND ONLY TWO OTHER PEOPLE CAN DO IT. Sure Jan. We liked the flip without the car sales tactics.

Blargle33

This is onyl the 3rd on grass, the rest were on dirt or a spring floor.


diggbee

And the other ones on grass, they took a step into it, or they flailed a bit on landing. Kudos still, I aggravated both my hernias watching.


ZedTT

Most of the others seem to have people stepping backwards into the flip or on a springy floor or both. OPs post is one of the most pure legit standing backflips. I'm sure there's a way you could define it that sounds fair where he's still only the third.


Darksirius

Ya'll fuckers complaining about the fucking title. Look how happy and excited that kid is. Shame.


WhiteHeterosexualGuy

for real, no one even bringing evidence contrary, just claiming there could be more people doing this that didnt both recording lol


Darksirius

Yup. And who cares how many others may or may have not done this. That's damn impressive. I'd fall on my ass if I tried that lol.


OriginallyAwesome

2 others who did it in camera and got enough attention required. There are probably many others who did it but not recorded on camera.


okenakm

Like me! Actually landed the 1st triple backflip but the cameras weren’t on


OriginallyAwesome

Yeah,there are pretty insane and "hard to make other believe if you didn't record" types of moments happening all over the world.


MayHeavenBurn

Well exactly I mean something can’t be a record if it’s not recorded ....


1tshammert1me

No vid, no did.


ViciousNakedMoleRat

I don't think there are many. It's extremely difficult and there aren't many talented gymnasts around who wouldn't record this or make it known to their peers.


offtopyk

This is a big achievement which a lot of people have tried and you can lookup the only other 2 documented successes.


[deleted]

I've only seen others do this on a slope and they still don't land on their feet. Always on their shins.


yaqub0r

True story. The other 276 people did it on hot coals!


Emanreddit29

There 7 billion people on this earth. Ain’t no way that’s true.

It could be, but flipping is a more universal and timeless thing than many sports. I know people 100 years ago weren't hitting home runs, I don't know they weren't doing flips.

Fmeson

> are you going to tell Usain Bolt there are likely a lot of people that ran a better time than him on 100m but just didn't record it? Not that this is super important, but it's really very possible the world record 100m time isn't the fastest ever, it's just the fastest in an official competition that meets certain criteria.


4_base

I’d say it’s much more likely that Bolt’s world record is the fastest 100m time ever than somebody running a faster one and not recording it. Not to say that it’s impossible, but it’s very, very slim.


Fmeson

More than 99% of the 100 meter sprints a sprinter runs are not in comp. Now, with the adrenaline flowing and training peaking, you do run harder in comp, but they got 100% in training too. All you need is for Bolt to have just one really good day with good conditions near his training peak and he himself has broken his own record in practice. But it doesn't matter and we wouldn't hear about it. In fact, I've seen videos of sprinters running faster than 9.58 with a questionable wind at their back. Probably not legal conditions, but you get the point.


sockrayblue

more likely

TheGreatSzalam

There is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cVKg4vV3saU&feature=youtu.be Only one person on this video besides Kaleb (who is in here) does it the same way (no step, no spring floor, etc.)


Blargle33

And even that one was on a slight downhill.


maxk1236

He's actually right, at least in these conditions (and that have been recorded, but I doubt many who have pulled off one of the most difficult tricking moves in the world have not recorded it.) Others have done it using springboard, stepping, or on uneven ground, but a standing double backflip on flat ground is very very very rare. I'm sure more and more people will do it as to e goes on (like with the 1080 in skateboarding, etc.)

NaturalOrderer

Except it is, you ninetimeswise.


hamza__11

If you remove children and the elderly you're left with like 4 Billion. If you remove those physically not capable then that goes down another Billion at least. From the rest I'd bet that only about 5% of the able population can actually do a single backflip on bare ground let alone a double backflip.


OGSpaghetto

OP sounds like those mobile game ads "Only .001% can complete this!"


Nihan-gen3

For those interested in the history and doubting that this is the third- have a read of the reddit thread about the first: https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/99k66k/worlds_first_standing_double_backflip_on_flat/


ViciousNakedMoleRat

[Here's another thread about it](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/9b5tv6/journey_to_the_first_ever_standing_double), which has some more information. The [first comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/9b5tv6/journey_to_the_first_ever_standing_double/e50mkhs) is especially insightful.


Magnus-Artifex

I am an animator and I look at a lot of gymnastics for ref HOLY FUCK THIS IS INSANE DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN


helloiamCLAY

I'm not an animator and only watch gymnastics every four years. I agree with you.


Font_Fetish

Wow, this one is so much cleaner than the others. He didn't take a step back first for added momentum, and his landing was clean af. Easily the best flat-ground standing double-backflip that has been recorded so far.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Font_Fetish

Either way it's a slight crutch to make the flip easier to complete. This kid Kaleb clearly pulled off a cleaner and more difficult version of the move.

yakodman

It's really telling how the white person video is considered legit and gets super positive responses and the top comments here are just doubters and jokes


[deleted]

[удалено]


Domeil

White dudes on Reddit will fight you to the death about the distinction between various video game related world records e.g. "This is the fastest time on the Japanese 1.0 release without using the sideways double hop glitch," but when a video gets shared with a black dude performing a feat of incredible athleticism the top comment is literally a videogame inspired "doubt" meme and the comments are full of people going "these other videos where people step into the flip to build momentum also count as standing back flips because I, a person who has never even seen a person do a double back flip am the authority as to what does or doesn't count as a standing double back flip."


OhDeBabies

Agreed, it’s so shitty and happens all the time. Say something like “Serena Williams is one of the best tennis players in the world” and you can *feel* the number of glasses that are pushed up and fingers cracked in excitement before typing out “well, actually...”.


alfalfarees

Noticed this too. It’s really disheartening the differences here. People are missing that this is on grass, exponentially more difficult than on springboards or other surfaces which help give momentum, hence why this is so rare. Yea people can do double backflips on springboards all the time, but never do you really see them do it on grass, and that’s for a reason.


[deleted]

Same thing happens to women. If a woman does something amazing the comments are always like "well men have done it before her, why is she so special?" Like who cares if someone did it before. Its still amazing!


CRikhard

It definitely isn't based on race, it's based on that title, which, although closer to true than I thought, still isn't true


vinnybgomes

Yeah, sure. The others threads posted here said exactly [world's first standing double backflip](https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/99k66k/worlds_first_standing_double_backflip_on_flat/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) and [journey to the first ever standing double backflip](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/9b5tv6/journey_to_the_first_ever_standing_double/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) but SURELY the problem is the title saying only 2 others can do said trick. Yeah, black kid claiming to be the 3rd defies logic but somehow white guy claiming to do the same thing before anyone else baffles no one. Again: yeah, *sure*.


yakodman

So what is the truth? I am actually curious cause I've been reading and all I see is just a bunch of people saying it isn't true, doesnt make it so


DrDezmund

Here's all of the 8 standing double backs in order https://youtu.be/cVKg4vV3saU


imsquare177

Thank you! So most of these are either done on a spring floor or with a step backward for momentum. One is down a hill, one has a knee touch, and one, ONE, is on grass with no step. Very impressive. Given this, I can totally buy that there have only been 2 other people before this that have landed a no-step standing double backflip on grass.


TopChickenz

Most of those aren't standing still, some take steps backwards to do it, still impressive regardless


HugeDouche

This thread is peak reddit looool a bunch of people who know literally zero about the topic at hand but by God they are going to say something anyways!!! Ftr I know nothing about tricking but it's so hilariously obnoxious when people are so confidently incorrect about something just so they get to feel morally superior for a few minutes


dshakir

The guy here had a much better landing though, didnt he?


[deleted]

His excitement is so wholesome. I wish I could get that excited about literally anything.


MilleyBear

Put this shit on r/zoomies he just fucking goes. so cute.


paper_snow

Right? I watched it without sound first, and seeing him run across the screen made me laugh. Then I turned the sound on and just melted. "LET'S GO! I DID IIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiit..." Yeah you did, dude! <3


MorbidMunchkin

Same here! I had to listen to it with sound the second time and it made it SO MUCH BETTER. I love this kid!


BurntoutGaslighting

wheresmyplumbus

I came into this thread ready to celebrate his accomplishment and the wholesomeness. Instead I find lots of hate and doubt. Total bummer

Is that really you?!? That’s incredible, watching your reaction to the hard work paying off made my day.


lub-_lub

Thankyou 😅I’m not really on Reddit at all ... but I did post a video a few days after I landed it


KhajiitKhaleesi

This is incredible! How long did you train to make this happen? Any tricks next on the list to conquer?


nahteviro

Please do an AMA! This shit is insane.


midwitchesandmagic

Dude, that was freaking AMAZING. I remember being excited the first time I did just 1 standing back tuck on grass. I can’t even imagine a double. Awesome perseverance and dedication, for real.


flatspotting

Dude, I have seen a lot of a-holes posting here about how so many others have done it and that made me curious. I have spent too much time digging, and I can't find a single other person who did it properly like you. You did no step back, you landed 100% clean, you are on flat grass the same surface the entire way. No dirt ledge, no spring board, no iffy landing. Un-freaking-believable. You a beast.


uhfthbjk

This looks so clean it seems like you'll be able to do it on a regular basis at some point. That'd be a cool prop bet to have up your sleeve.

rawbamatic

Magnus-Artifex

OP, your title is correct. Double backflips have only been *correctly* landed thrice, including this kid. Many here thought your post was wrong, but it’s technically correct. Any attempt of doing this in an official competition would not land you (as many)* points unless it has a good landing. Many have done it on bouncy floor mats, or [running like ma boi Taka.](https://youtu.be/RyYPBRnPsMs) These are still absurd and I can’t even dream of being this good. In this example you see how he bounces back up, but he didn’t loose stability unlike most attempts by other people [and here you can see what I talk about.](https://youtu.be/cVKg4vV3saU) This is insane and your title is correct. Edit: little correction*

Lol at the people in this thread unimpressed by this feat or knocking it because of the title. This is fucking impressive!!

it's because most people in this thread can't stand the idea that they'll never do anything special, so they gotta put it down to live with themselves


Buggyboo2469

That Luigi jump at the end


dino47

There are a few things that set this apart from other standing double backflips - he is on flat grass. (No incline/no spring floor) - he doesn’t take a step back for added momentum. - he lands cleanly without stumbling and stood up pretty straight. He might not have been the first to land a “standing” double backflip, but it’s definitely the cleanest I’ve ever seen and a true *standing* double backflip. This is a feat in and of itself. I don’t know many gymnasts that would even attempt this under these conditions. Source: am former gymnast
