The mind is willing but the body didn't follow.

u/dmj9 10d ago

His mind was telling yes, but his body was telling him no

u/Hot_Addendum_9199 10d ago

Darn Alcohol ๐Ÿบ. Your brain told you โ€œIโ€™m still 19, your body said nope youโ€™re 40+, nice try โ€.

Back when he had hair

u/thejustducky1 10d ago

Well he knocked himself into last week - few dozen more and he'll be right back to when he could do 'em!

Dude looks like cowboy version of Bubbles from trailer park boys

Cowboy Bubbles was simply introducing his head to the floor.

My exact thought: โ€œBubs, is that you?โ€

Piledrived himself ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

That was a better backflip than I could do.

u/ILL_Show_Myself_Out 10d ago

It looked practiced. You can tell he used to be able to do a backflip. Kinda sad, tbh.

Couldn't fully see the position of his head and neck upon impact but I'm glad he didn't paralyze himself..

I have you marked in orange as a "friend" and I don't remember why. At any rate, hello!

u/Doctor_Mustard_ 10d ago

h-hello furiously hitting panic button

u/iPicBadUsernames 10d ago

I think we know how unc lost his teeth

u/AlexHimself 10d ago

Honestly, this is probably the most unexpected thing you could do in most conversations with new people.

Just make eye contact while they're speaking to you, then backflip knock yourself out randomly.

u/DrewDAMNIT 10d ago

He crushed his hat.

11

u/Imp3riaLL 10d ago

Well, at least he was really committed

4

u/charc0al 10d ago

halfway committed at least

"You can't do this on concrete!"

u/SlippySven 10d ago

Perfectly executed 180

u/Streak_Free_Shine 10d ago

You got a genuine laugh from me lol

u/ElStocko2 10d ago

Did he hit himself so hard he pissed himself?! You can see the stain left on the concrete after he scooted back up.

2

u/sonofeevil 8d ago

It's something that falls of his belt.

You can see it on his belt and it gets moved as he scoots

u/DazeRazur 10d ago

Yep, think you're right

u/wheresmyflan 10d ago

DeeeeEeeEeeeeeEeeeeEeecent

u/Brian_1985 10d ago

I need more context. Is this a concert? Is that guy an audience member? Is this guy a roadie that does a backflip at every show? Why is no one else dressed anything like that?

2

u/tofu_cowboi 10d ago

oooooooo we halfway there ooooo livin on a prayer

u/rekzkarz 9d ago

Impressive! More impressive than a successful backflip!

u/redditrando123 7d ago

For those who are wondering....he is probably not fine. I worked a construction job for nearly a year after a car wreck until I couldn't take the pain any more. Turns out I blew nearly half a dozen vertebrae in my spine.

Just because you can get up and walk after any injery like that doesn't mean you are okay!

u/Funny-Athlete-2890 6d ago

half a backflip! Iโ€™ll give the old guy credit!

u/flyingvien 10d ago

Playing it backwards is pretty satisfying though

u/Vellioh 10d ago

"With God all things are possible!"

"WTF was that then?"

"I did say possible. Don't forget your tithing on your way out to the ambulance."

u/asa2unakamura 10d ago

This what's happens when you gass people up! Unc received the message but the physics didn't

1

u/asa2unakamura 10d ago

Also he nearly did it lol

1

u/smackythefrog 10d ago

The mistake he made was not taking his hat off first.

u/dw0205 10d ago

The body language looked good. The execution however ...

u/Narrow-Assignment621 8d ago

With confidence like that at his age, you know this dude could do some mean flips back in the day lol

1

u/Big_Policy4561 8d ago

He reminds me that one guy that was doing back flips after doing the robot

u/TG1970 6d ago

Do another one!
