Gosh, this was back in 2003. I honestly had never heard of it before. The young whipper snapper in the video was interesting. One time he asked me...'Hey do you want to see me do this backflip (Off a stack of plywood)? It was just me and him. Ok...lol...so...lol...
Ok I had to recompose myself.
So he gets on this stack of plywood that is about five feet high. He jumps off to do a backflip and in mid air (with his belly towards the ground) He just freezes. I mean stops moving. Looks like superman froze in mid air...Lands face and belly first right in the desert sand from 6 or 7 feet in the air. To this day it is one of the most hilarious things I have ever witnessed.
So, yeah. He was interesting. But he was young too. Probably one of the youngest in our platoon. He's still in the Army. The last I read he was an E-6(Staff Sergeant) and really squared away. For all I know he could be an E-7 by now.
I am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the follow.
Wow, that sand must have killed his face lol...Im sure the army was one of the best things for him especially since he is still in now almost 15 years later. I bet he matured a lot and is not doing back flips off plywood.
