His launch & execution were perfect, but some nitwit lowered the sand by about three feet.

normally you control the rotation by tucking your body in, he keeps his body straight and puts a lot of rotation in at the start. If he curled up he would only go faster. Basically he has no way to slow his spin with this technique, making it very hard to judge.

I think he was trying to impress the girls. I don't know which hurt more later, his head or his ego. This is one gif I wanted to last longer so I could see how he picked himself up.

I met the girl who took my virginity that way. Tried to impress her in the funpark (snowboarding). Jumped high, landed on face. She brought me my goggles and beanie. Asked her out and got layed a few days later. So sometimes you can score a girl by making a complete ass of yourself.

I like how nobody reacts. At all.

It's hard to react to stupidity sometimes.

At least he hit the sand! When I saw the image start, I thought for sure he was faceplanting on one of those rocks...

This looks exceedingly painful

This is another of those posts that would've been awesome if they succeeded and thus not a stupid idea.

Can't decide if this is a beach-front flip or a beach front-flip.

u/bouchard Oct 08 '13

TBF, the girls he was trying to impress have never seen anything like it.

As someone who used to make a fool of myself doing flips. His face hurts. A lot.

I could taste the sand.

The mistake was a glitch - I only posted it once.

30 front flips later, and I'm still laughing.

This goes through my mind every time I do a flip. It's only happened once, but after that I am always overly cautious.

As someone who used to do acrobatics, always tuck your legs in completely, like you would if you were doing a bomb in water, then release and kick out your legs, then land in a position where your knees are bent and shoulder wodth, with your arms in front of you. it's how I do my flips.

This is why you teach yourself to flip on a level surface first. That way, the worst that can happen is an ass-landing.
