[English-tailor]

this is very interesting but you have posted the same press release twice

[martin]

that's cool

[Athoul]

Is Jesus (Jeezus) his real name?

[English-tailor]

Is Jesus (Jeezus) his real name?

probably, it's a common Mexican name.....

[Locky]

Yeah often pronounced "hey zuse"
I think that guy in the bible pronounced it as "dave"

[bmthbloke]

4get  the jesus bit ---is halfanimal a real surname?

or can we all choose new 'bocking' names

[Sprog]

A world class gymnast, Jesus halfanimal currently holds the jumping-stilt record as the only man ever to perform a double back-flip.

So how come Mattias (SweBounce) does one in his avatar?

I counted two (2) full rotations there... Using false information to promote a person is bad in my books. You should say he is "one of only two people in the world who have performed a double back-flip"

Anyhow, sounds good, good luck to him. Video will be required

Edit: Didn't realise he played Titan in La Nouba, that's cool. Do you know what dates he performed on, as I saw it in July 2005...

[jono]

Im with sprog on that

[Locky]

Yeah I did a double back once too, so get yourt facts straight.

[MCTom]

Twice or it didn't happen Locky.

[Locky]

Good point. Bugger.

[MCTom]

caught out by your own rule there eh?

[shakdaddy]

Yeah I guess Mattias would technically qualify.  Mattias is definitely among the best in the world and very clean and technically proficient.  There is a lot of padding underneath him, however. 
Not saying I could do it, but, let's be honest, it's not exactly azzz impressive with all of that padding there. Does it count or doesn't it? PM me, I can change the press release if it seems warranted.


NONETHELESS, it should be pointed out that Jesus Halfanimal did the double back in 2002 on nothing but 2 - inch foam.  That's 5 years ago and real animal!

I will have the video of the World Record, likely by the end of June.

Its a bit weird and the stilts aren't even seen until about 1.50 into it

And the double backflip he does in this at 3mins in he doesnt even land
