ETFnerd Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 i guess his name is cato aspmo (he is cat-like) and he's ridiculous... don't try this at home... at 5:20 in this video, he does backflip to handstand on an elevated surface, which gives him less time to get into the handstand position... so sick... i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

maegs Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 That is crazy stuff!Hmm i don't know if this is real or faked. He stops half way through the motion like he just told gravity " Hey, stop for a second so i can flip over"It might be something along the lines of ballon in dancing: Physically, the dancer's center of mass follows a ballistic trajectory, as does any projectile, but observers have limited ability to reckon center of mass when a projectile changes its configuration in flight. By raising the arms and legs while ascending and lowering them while descending, the dancer alters the apparent path of the center of mass and, in so doing, seems to observers to be momentarily floating in the air.

ETFnerd Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 it's known as a kip-up to handstand... but in essence what's happening is that you are doing a front flip springing from and landing on your hands... look ma... no legs... usually you spring with your legs and land on your legs... this is the opposite... incredible... i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

Ryan Sannar Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yeah Cato is really big in the russian parkour scene. Funny enough the front flip technique that he's throwing involves using your arms to tuck more than your legs. To get his hands through he has to cowboy tuck his legs, but he can't actually do much with them because there isn't enough time. So he uses his hands to tuck (its very very fast though because he has to get them back to catch it). The technique he uses is called the russian front flip. Very cool.He's a sponsored athlete through Urban Freeflow I think. His videos are very inspiring he tends to do compound moves like that. The most recent one he released was a diveroll 360 on the top of a shed, but the roll throws him off into a side flip. I'll have to find the video and post it. That move actually isn't as hard ad you guys make it out to be, it's how smooth he makes it that's impressive.Just my traceur $0.02Found it Link to comment
ETFnerd Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 That move actually isn't as hard ad you guys make it out to be,...i find that people who've never been able to do a particular skill can't fathom how hard it is... i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

RaeVynn Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think it is nice that he does show that he does a LOT of training for his outdoor stuff in a gym, over mats. Provides a touch of reality to what he can do - it takes hours of repetition and drill to look like it is effortless.The mom in me cringes, though, seeing him leaping into areas that he can't see into.

Ryan Sannar Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Guys really a lot of what he can do isn't so much hard as it is he has a good base to work off of. A base that he built by practicing consistently. From there its just hard work and creativity.Also yeah its not easy to make a living with it, but I'd imagine its easier than you think.
