- magicjohnson, on 06/27/2008, -8/+147I'm in disbelief that kid was able to pull that off. I had no idea wrestlers were that agile. Freaking gymnast right there.
- Dirtynoodle111, on 06/28/2008, -3/+125Why link to the worst resolution?
Way better resolution

- fpaudon, on 06/28/2008, -14/+92After seeing Wanted, nothing seems to impress me anymore :(
- mrzeero, on 06/28/2008, -3/+75First they came for the backflippers and I did not speak out because I was not a backflipper.
- honeymustardn, on 06/28/2008, -5/+72Guess you haven't heard of El Blazer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ug92fkFAFTs heh..
- HeDiggMe, on 06/28/2008, -4/+61Your pimp cane cant hurt him when he's wearing his Jamaican colors
- polalion, on 06/28/2008, -1/+53I'm guessing this is the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuYixgVzC-M
- inactive, on 06/28/2008, -0/+47I do that all the time when I'm wrestling bears.
- Dylson, on 06/28/2008, -0/+47DO A BACKFLIP!
- ousthouse, on 06/28/2008, -2/+42That was awesome. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a viral from Gatorade. Oh crap. I think about Gatorade everytime I see an amazing athletic feat. They've won!
- Mishimaster, on 06/28/2008, -0/+35That was cool and all, but lucky him he didn't mess his knee up.....
- cgruber, on 06/28/2008, -1/+33Bears.
Beets
Battlestar Galatica. - chrisaug18, on 06/28/2008, -1/+30Why? It's a win-win situation for us. He pulls it off and we get a cool back flip video posted on digg...or he doesn't pull it off and we get a cool failed backflip video posted on digg
- wellyuk, on 06/28/2008, -0/+27That was ***** amazing. The last clip was *****!
- XxERMxX, on 06/28/2008, -0/+25Were you expecting a sunset flip off the top turnbuckle?
- mal1964, on 06/28/2008, -0/+228.5, 8.0, 8.0, 7.5, 9.0, 7.5.
- Pureeviljester, on 06/28/2008, -3/+22horribly, horribly; badly, badly; got it, got it
- mrjd54, on 06/28/2008, -3/+21Someone re-taped the video off their computer screen. Here's the original with a little better quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuYixgVzC-M
- Wootstapler, on 06/28/2008, -0/+17Can we please see it again with another flash-wipe to where the wrestler does it again?
- wrestlingnrj, on 06/28/2008, -0/+15guess you've never really watched wrestling. I've wrestled for the past 7 years and I can tell you that these are some of the most agile and talented athletes you will ever see. Funny they called him Flipper because on my high school team we called our 103 lb wrestler Flippy because he would pull of stuff like that all the time and he was in gymnastics so he's kind of a cheater.
- patricks, on 06/28/2008, -1/+16***** Chinese judge so hard to impress.
- DyceFreak, on 06/28/2008, -12/+26not a single one of you guys saw this one of the six times this has been front paged before?
I don't believe it - yohnstoppable, on 06/29/2008, -0/+13If the WWE was like that, and not steroided homosexual soap opera drama, I'd actually watch it.
- ligyron, on 06/28/2008, -1/+14How did I possibly miss that! Posted 155 days ago and 2 diggs...and I call myself a digger
- bad_fla$h, on 06/28/2008, -0/+13Having wrestled for years before college, I can honestly say that that move requires some serious luck. Most guys pull back once they have the single, to keep the other off-balance.
Awesome move either way! - bdfariello, on 06/28/2008, -0/+12I can see it now...
High School Wrestler does a Frontflip to avoid pinning opponent, ends up in a Single hold - TruGrave, on 06/29/2008, -1/+10But it didn't.
- Khangwin, on 06/28/2008, -4/+13this move is banned in my state because of the risks.
- fpaudon, on 06/29/2008, -0/+9Well in China, the wrestlers throw each other 30 feet into the air and do quadruple backflips before smashing their opponents into the ground
- BoneStamp, on 06/29/2008, -0/+9Except for the editing... why can't people just let it play through once, then add all the replays to the end.
- Elwayish, on 06/28/2008, -6/+15Digg always 6 months behind the normal news .... this was only a big deal like o say in 2007 ...
- spence798, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9that other kid should have just let go of his leg mid-flip.
- EarthernJar, on 06/28/2008, -1/+10Sweep the leg, Johnny!
- Miamisun, on 06/28/2008, -2/+10Kurt Angle would have easily turned that into an ankle lock.
- mllawso, on 06/28/2008, -0/+8Hey mon, you wanna go play pool?
*Accept
*Decline - ray4389, on 06/28/2008, -3/+11I wrestled for 7 years and was going to wrestle in college, but a car crash prohibits me now due to a brain injury, but wrestlers are the craziest athletes there are like the UFC guys and what not.
- Flashypoo, on 06/28/2008, -0/+8I love when people don't get good jokes.
- GramarNazi, on 06/29/2008, -1/+9He's obviously a talented wrestler, but that is a very stupid move. I've wrestled for four years, and moves like that aren't taught for a reason. They're dangerous, even for those who've practiced a lot. All it takes is an opponent to hold up your leg while attempting to "back flip" and you land on your neck. I've never seen it personally, but my brother wrestled with a guy who broke his neck trying that move.
Not dugg down, but wrestling is much more about pushing limits, self control, and raw talent than it is high-flying moves and showboating (I can name 3 other ways to escape a single-leg takedown that don't involve trying to back flip) - sully213, on 06/28/2008, -0/+8That was nice, but not unique. Looking at the related videos from YouTube it seems to happen more than you'd think. I never saw this in person when I wrestled, but I often thought about trying something like that if anyone ever had me in a high single leg. Of course, I also thought of roundhouse kicking them in the side of the head, but I knew that would get me DQ'd :)
- sleepwalkers, on 06/29/2008, -1/+7...What's misleading? You called it a backflip yourself.
- mrm3x1can, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6i probably find this lame because i am so use to watching people break bones in videos like this
- Gamer2k4, on 06/29/2008, -0/+6TECHNICALLY, he's not a wrestler. But yeah, cool moves still.
- Skanadian, on 06/28/2008, -8/+14Face = Melted
- bdfariello, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6Do a barrel roll!
- polalion, on 06/28/2008, -3/+9Ya mon.
- djm19, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6That was a strange flip...it was very low, and looks like he landed on his face but got up immediately.
- Daiken, on 06/28/2008, -0/+5Digg isn't 6 months behind. It's just that they like posting the same stuff for 6 months, every month in a row.
- davidrools, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6According to youtube, seems a bunch of kids pull this move off. Still cool though, and a good way to get out of a single leg shot.
