‘Trick’ seems the wrong word for the tweeter to use. -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 15:49

- That flying off the lower bar back on to the high bar is clearly sorcery. -- nm - Barynn Oct 20, 15:47
- ik, r? That is some Marvel super hero shit -- nm - Beaker Oct 20, 15:30
That whole routine is like the Australia of bars - multiple ways it could kill you. - Max Oct 20, 15:27 10
- It’s the resting on bar rolling flip, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 15:28 9
  - Yes. It's the backflip off the top bar that's the "death loop." -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 15:31 8
    - What’s the time stamp? -- nm - The Allfather Oct 20, 15:43 1
      - :08 apparently. Originally 0:16 looked to me like the most dangerous move before the dismount. -- nm* - Max Oct 20, 15:44
    - That? That’s banned? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 15:43 5
      - Apparently it's very hard to spot the bar and when they miss they fall far and hard or they hit the bar. It's very dangerous. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 15:53 2
        
        Seems stupid to me given you got double backward flip blind releases but this is too dangerous. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 15:58
        
        "Don't do that move! Is there a bar?? You don't know!!" -- nm - Balancy Quest Oct 20, 15:56
      - It’s the standing on the bar that’s dangerous -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 15:48
      - It doesn't look so bad when they catch the bar, but ... -- nm - rollo Oct 20, 15:47
