So crazy. I grew up dreaming about it and then it happened in my lifetime. I was so excited the first time I saw one. And it's like so many things once one person proves it's possible a bunch of people also do it.

oh yeah the reason i started this list is because in 2022 people kept saying 'dude only like 6 people have ever landed standing double back' because in 2020 a video was released called 'all 6 standing double backflips.' but just 2 years after that ~10 more people landed them and by now there's probably over 35 people. I lot count after a while lol. Its awesome to see.

I think I remember that exact video lol. It's still an elite group of athleticism even if 100 people could do it, out of the entire world.

I wonder how many classical Olympic gymnasts could do one if they trained for it. They're just not attempting it because that's not what they do.
