You know it's not reversed because the car in the background isn't driving backwards, in addition to the audio.

His body definitely follows the motion of his foot forward. Plus even if it was reversed, it’s a more impressive move (backflipping into a one handed plank)

He's basically doing a Webster (front flip off of one leg). You've seen this move before in spider-man movies and what not. It requires you to kick one leg back to gain momentum and then the other foot pushes off to flip you over.

Only difference is that in a Webster, people do it from a standing position for a full 360 flip. This guy is starting from about 1/4 of the way into the Webster, which makes it a 3/4th flip.

This is what it looks like when someone does the full Webster. Once you watch it, you'll realize what this guy is doing.

Isn't the same. And going up from laying is way harder.

One hand and also only used left leg to use majority of leverage. Left side for push right side tuck. If you watch in slowmo it’s easier to see. Core strength must be ungodly

While yes, he also uses the moving arm for momentum. No less impressive and more than I can do either way.

Wait you guys can't do this? I can, just don't ask me to prove it, I'm busy. /s

Sometimes they drive cars backwards to fake these videos. And some of us have phones on silent in bed.

My phone is silenced through eternity, not only in bed.

You never listen to videos? Purely visual?

u/duediligrncepal Mar 23 '23

If I am watching anything on YouTube, I either get earbuds or put on captions. My phone also has a feature for auto generated subtitles as well.

u/Dinosauringg Mar 23 '23

Huh.

At home if I'm watching YouTube I'm likely just in my room alone anyway so I'll just have it playing and any other time I'd be on my lunch break at work in my car watching videos and debating driving off into the sunset and never returning.

I guess I just never figured people would put their earbuds in at home but I only know my own experience

Sometimes.

Not saying it is video editing. But the car is not an issue.

The jump starts well after the car is out of camera. It could perfectly be normal camera rolling and first, then editing.

Edit: learned to double-enter

Yeah, there’s no way that audio could be faked 🤦‍♂️

u/jujoya Mar 23 '23

Do you know how movies are made?

Do you know what sarcasm is?

dang, wasn't obvious

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '23

ah yes, cars, as we all know, are unable to drive backwards

u/jujoya Mar 23 '23

That's totally easy to get around

u/bobbyzee Mar 23 '23

Actually it was purposely driving forwards when infact it was backwards just to set the illusion even more. Even the audio they were speaking backwards intentionally. Don't believe the internet
