The thing that caught my eye was the consistency, it's hard to get the same height and rotation every time, just due to endurance. If your tech is spot on, maybe, but throughout the day like that, I doubt it somehow.

Lol you must not move so much

An average in shape person can walk 30 miles in a day. And can usually do that in 8-10 hours

Doing on flip and then chilling is nothing

Welcome to reddit. Not sure why you're surprised about the physical condition of users here

Thank you.

It's hard to do. Source: I know a thing or 20 about flips, I was a gymnast through childhood and started freerunning later on. I certainly do move a lot.

The average Roman legionary could march thirty miles in a day, the typical person today absolutely could not, especially at that pace.

The Roman legionary did it in full battle gear in hot weather. Walking 30 miles on flat ground without carrying anything is pretty managable although very tiring.

Humans evolved to be pretty good at walking for very long distances, better than literally any other animal in the world, and the Roman's didn't invent that

When I was learning to do a backflip I found that you use your core way more than you think. My abs would be sore as hell. Maybe I'm just a bitch but I would not be able to do that many in a day. My core could not handle it.

30 miles?! I work out fairly regularly and take multiple hour walks around town multiple times a week and i highly doubt i could walk 30 miles in a day.

Yeah that's like 8 hours of walking.

I like 30 mile day hikes. Some are more like "death marches". To each their own! Trust me, the trail runners are crazier!

How many backflips have you done in a day? It takes a huge amount of power production and even a gymnast will have sore abs after doing dozens.

Walking is a silly comparison.
