The vid is set to private..play with some settings :Cwink:
-
wicked, well done man, thats impressive
-
It still looks like a 7 to me. But I'm very willing to be corrected by a gymnast or trampolinist.
Very impressive whatever it is. =) Well done!!! =)

¬¬ dont c y ppl cant c it at 3 seconds is the first 360 6 seconds the 2nd 360 and 9 seconds the 3rd 360 the a bit extra coz i was spinning to fast
-
I can see it, you do one twist on the way up then 2 and a bit on the way down. we see your sexy 6 pack 3 times
-
¬¬ dont c y ppl cant c it
Maybe becauses it's not happening. I really think it's a 720...
+90 so it's an 810. ^_^ That's still really impressive though
dude. Most people can't even back flip, let alone back flip
with two full twists! ^_^
Ask a trampolinist. There must be trampolining forums. That way
you'll know for certain... or everyone else will know for certain.
With the power of suggestion it's easy for people who don't know better to believe it's a triple, because you're so certain and because they read your commentary and think "yeah, I can see his abs/face three times." But everyone I've shown (without asking them - Is this a 720 or a 1080? - But simply, "How many spins does he do?") replies two and a bit.
I'm not deminishing the achievement. I think it's awesome. And if it is 1080 even better. But I just don't see it. So a professionals opinion would really clarify things.

i see it greg it is a 1080. you see his face 3 times so it must be.

dude i am a trampolinest and i asked my coach b4 i broke my self and showed her the vid and she could c it ¬¬ dont no y u cant

Because we're not gymnastically trained, Greg? lol
I don't know why you're so hostile about it, I can only count a 900 spin on it, I even got a spoon and reproduced your movements in 3D, watching your right hand side rather than your head and chest, and I worked it out to be 900.
The problem with the video is the angle is straight on, ideally it needs to be filmed from the side to count rotations so we can focus on a fixated point that only rotates in one direction (e.g. your hip).
The front view makes it hard to count as not only is your head/chest rotating around your vertical axis (from the rotation), but also round the horizontal axis of the flip. The side view would only rotate in one direction as the direction of the flip would be perpendicular (rather than parallel) to the viewpoint of the camera, so it wouldn't affect the view.
The two directions of rotation trick the brain as it looks like more than it really is, with 1 direction of rotation people would be able to count/see the rotations better.
I've attached a diagram if it helps explain all that better.
Incase that all confuses you, here it is simply put - The front view of the backflip, you see your face, then back, then face, which adds a 360 spin to it; From side view this wouldn't happen as we'd be focused on your side
-
sprog u just confused the crap outta me XD i know what u meen but i still dont c how u cant c the 3 spins i watched it about 30 times b4 i posted it just to be sure i know it is so i still dont c how u cant c it
-
the next step it to do it on stilts :PJ101John:
-
you posted that as i was typing it is defo 3 spins
-
watch the top of his shorts at the front! you see them 3 times so must be 3 spins
-
watching face, chest legs, both sides everything i count 3 and a bit, even with compensating for the fact there's a back in it, but whatever way it is it's still stupidly good
-
Agree with DG, whatever the hell it is, it's still better than most of you could do :P
(My bets are on paul saying something first)
-
i dont like to disappoint so
Wham bam its cheese and ham.
-
i asked my coach... ...and showed her the vid and she could c it
Fair enough then. Well done. ^_^ You use "¬¬" almost as much as I use. "^_^"
Cheer up. I said it was good whatever it was. ^_^ Be happy! Congrats!
But I still don't see it. Neither did 10 of the 11 people I showed it to.
