[cepopeye]

ahahahah its awesome that back then doublefulls == godlike talent on an international scale. Its funny how bad his form actually is! that was intensely interesting to watch! great find!

[AsoBit]

Back when men were men.

[Kofski]

yeh I know that vid :P
pretty good!

[Raven]

hhahahah how can anyone take that vid seriously with the narration Python twist or whatever. It is as easy for walking down the street for him

[thereid]

"Wolf has turned himself into a combination that includes a spinning top, flying bird, and twisting python, in his gyrations through the air, he has mastered every type of airflight. Twist and somersaults, all without the aid of propeller"

W...T...F...?

[Dave C]

This is perhaps the most awesome video I've seen in MONTHS

His full-punch front was very nice, also

Thank you, it might be awhile before there's another real sampler from me, but I'll be good when it comes.


EDIT: back on topic with this video, was any of it sped up? The full1 1/2 to FHS front tuck> handstand> BHS's to full combo looked fishy to me.

Its funny how bad his form actually is! that was

i don't think his form is that bad. the only things i noticed was that he spread his legs at the end of his roundoff and handspring, and relaxed his body too much when he came out of his fulls

other than that he has better form than most people i see, though obviously not like the professional tumblers today

his handsprings were mad fast though, and his 1.5 full to handspring front pass was pretty slick

i enjoyed this video

No i mean, he's sorta self-taught looking. Like, on his dfull he twists too early gymnastics wise, on his roundoff he doesn't hurdle well at all though TT has proven over the years that "proper" roundoff form isn't essential for most tricks up through dfull/dback. On his bhs he travels sideways a bit, his legs are apart on just about everything, but whatever! He's awesome and this is the coolest thing i've seen in awhile

Truth. Honestly if he bent his elbows a little more he'd remind me of James Yu

[BboyAgua]

Hahaha this was absolutely awesome. Wolf is pretty badass, his name especially. What's funny is that good tumblers were mostly underground back in the day. The old olympic gymnastic routines (1920-1970) were absolutely embaressing even compared to this. My coach has video of himself doing double fronts on hard floor (early 70's), and a gymnast he coached who does a double twisting double back on hard floor in the dark with only a spotlight illuminating the area of the floor where he takes off and lands (done mid 80's). The people ahead of their time got little credit back then. Matt, the guy who did the double double in the dark, still comes by to tumble sometimes. He's an absolute lunatic, his achilles are both gone, so are most tendons in his knees, and the scars from the surgeries makes it looks like he stole his legs from a cadaver. He can still double back higher than me.

Ha! He has no excuse, I sent him a bunch of tapes of tricking we did over the summer to edit.

The people who we were with were infinitely better than we are, haha.

SO fucking cool! It feels so raw and manly haha. His double full is nice as hell, even if not technically perfect xD
