I have ,but it was not intentional
I won't be repeating that move any time soon
But I have a nephew that can go backwards and forwards
he looks cool flipping like that down the street ,he can do it for a long way

@Mindful My brother raised him to be fearless
He is into PARKOUR ..he seems to defy gravity ,skate boards ,BMX bikes ,motor cycles ,,its it can kill ya ,he loves it .
He is pushing 40 and has broken a lot of bones ,but he is still good at flipping
My brother likes to get him to show off he is still good at it

And all I have done is work hard all my life and I can barely walk
go figure

Wow. Except for broke. Bones.Perhaps stress and fear keeps you down? @rckt148

@Mindful No in my day I was the one they thought had a death wish
Go on to sinking ships and keep them from sinking ,fight fires ,do things with a boat they weren't meant to do ,,I have saved just a few lives
I lost my last fight in 1976 when a so called friend put me in the hospital
I totaled 7 cars in 1 month
I swing chucks ,swords ,throw knives ,tomahawk shoot marksmen
I work on and run any kind of equipment you can think of ,including the boats and locomotives I trained others to work on and rebuild
I can walk on a 2x6 on a walk board on stilts as high in the air as you need me too
But I have a bone disease eating my spine ,,I know there are things that if I break something ,,I won't heal
I am not a whimp by any means ,nor is my Brother
But if I am in this much pain from just saving lives and working
Why would I do the things he does ,,and cripple myself so I can't support my family ?
He doesn't have any assets ,,he lets the state pay for his screw ups
I paid off every dime for my surgery ,,$20.000.00
I pay my bills ,,I can't afford any just for being a show off
Now with 12 decompressed discs ,spurs in both shoulders ,both knees bone to bone ,3 heart attacks and a collapsed lung ,,
I think my feets of bravery were enough
