this guy is like... the Matrix

My version:

*late at night (or early in the morning) on the campus of Ithaca College after a party*

Me: Dude, watch this!

*jump, fall, snap, thud*

Chris: Dude?

John: Yo, dude...?

Mike: I think he's dead.

John: Everyone, here's a stick. Let's poke him.

*everyone pokes my lifeless, bleeding body*

*ten minutes later*

Chris: Well, that was a fun ten minutes of poking.

Mike: Seriously, I think he's dead.

*everyone resumes poking*

*I wake up*

Me: See, I told you it would be cool... Where's my arm? Dammit John, eww, that's my arm for chrissake! Give me that back.

*hobbles back to dorm room only to wake up 3 hours later for class*

Thank you, Tennessee Williams. Did you build a set for this?

ya know, I've seen all variety of amazing gymnastics, but joe eigo has consistently blown me away. I have never seen anyone that I can clearly say is "better" simply because eigo's style is so unlike conventional gymnastics, that it's something of its own. That said, I'm sure there are gymnasts that can do everything he can do and then some, but I have yet to see it.

I haven't seen Joe Eigo's videos (won't load :( ) but I've seen some amazing gymnastics at Cirque du Soleil performances. I won't say anyone with gymnastic talent is better than anyone else, I'm simply amazed by everyone who can do flips and such. :)

This guy is good... some are better though :)

Here is a good story about back flips though.
I have a friend who was a gymnast, could do all sort of flips and stuff, he is pretty good. He had a friend who was also gymnast, so one night we were walking down the street and sees his buddy walking toward us and some skated doing tricks on empty street. So out of no where when he gets close to the skater he does a back flip and keeps on walking like nothing happen.
Skater kid comes up to him with "wow that’s amazing, teach me how to do that, bluh bluh bluh". So my buddy just goes "dude... its easy anyone can do it... I mean look, ask any stranger on street, he will do it." so skater pointed at the only guy who was walking along on street besides us "we ask him to do a flip and he does..." skater right away tries to do back flip himself and falls on his ass.

NOW that is good usage of you skills! :D

Cheers
That's easily one of the funniest stories I've heard all week. AWESOME.
