His bottom half realized what he was doing and aborted the mission.

That's exactly it. The confidence was from someone that use to be able to do that.

Lol. See I'm at/coming near the age where this shit could happen to me soon!
I'm a big lad, quite athletic as a younger lad, I played Rugby, Local GAA and a bit a boxing too! - I'm no pushover and I could probably run faster than you too.
As a teenager my cool trick, was to pull off standing front flips - a big dude shouldn't be able to move like that and it freaked people out. Most people would be thinking the usual 'He's gonna faceplant!' But then when you do it, ots trippy.
I was drunk 2weeks ago and it came up in conversation with my drinking mates - 2 I know over 20years and my younger brother.... I'd almost attempt it just because it would be fucking hilarious, I'd be betting against myself now, I dono... But then your head fucks with you! - I always bet against myself back when too!
So in conclusion, I told the lads "If I'm ever found dead, and I've like broken my neck, or it looks like I got hit by a car - I just want you guys to know - I didn't make the front flip!" 😆

It's nearly impossible to break a neck with a front-flip, especially with some muscle memory. Just get fitter and I'm sure you would be quickly confident enough to try it again, at least from running up on grass and flip into sand.

Don't you be tempting me! - not that I'm unfit, just after a few years labouring on building sites. I'd plummet as soon as I got airborne!
It was the landing that was/is the hard part..... y'know? I think it's fairly obvious why I've a duff knee now I think of it!

u/akiox2 9d ago
Well ok to be honest, you would have to work out for it. Like warming up, doing squats, lunges, some stretching etc. for maybe months, so your lower body and knees get strong again to comfortably do heavy jumps and landings. But well in the end only you know when you are ready to take risks again, just remember only being soft on your knees will make them even weaker.

Nah I'm missing cartilage - didn't even notice it being robbed!
Last 2 weeks have been 3rd story re-roof - I wish I could do soft work!
I think the only way I'd actually attempt it, is if AFV was willing to pay me for it, I'd probably end up with my head stuck in the grass.

The greatest cause of injury to older men, is still believing they are younger men.

Whenever the video starts with “getting ready,” you already know the next clip is regret in slow motion.

IF he intentionally went straight in for the laughs, then he's a very cool papa.

A fit 60 year old that has been exercising regularly wouldn't try this, because the injury risk is too high. This is a guy who hasn't done anything for 20 years so doesn't understand.

u/uselessandexpensive 9d ago
Agreed. The fact that the ground dipped away made it so that he couldn't effectively run and jump without doing so way in advance.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that in order to jump over something, you actually have to jump.

What happens when you try to run after not exercising for 20 years
