Amazing precision! (Another fun video)

Very nice! I especially liked how he landed in handstand on the edge of the roof!
Although a completely different discipline, it reminded me of this awesome video (that has probably been posted before): Damien Walters doing mostly freerunning/parkour, but also some crazy tumbling.
his 2011 reel is amazing! when he jumps in the bed. lol
This person has developed an incredible air sense. I started to learn a bit of tumbling 1.5 year ago. I learned basic front and black flips. But only then when I actually got through the proces of learning these skills my appreciation for this guys began to rise. The thing is: when I saw gymnasts at the olympics I didn't even realize WHAT they were doing since everything happens so fast. Now I have some ability to "follow" in real time what is happening due to my little experience with tumbling...but I still struggle to see if something is 2 or 3 twist 
. Unfortunately I couldn't continue with my tumbling journey due to a meniscus injury. I am still rehabilitating and hope that someday I could learn some more skills (without any additional injuries).
I wonder/hope that coach Sommer is ever going to bring out some "foundation" for tumbling since I just learned stuff by trail and error. I could get away with trail and error with lots of skills, but tumbling is some different beast...(I am paying the price now 
).
And Micheal: I am also from the Netherlands (Amsterdam). What city are you from?
Yeah, the trampoline guy has developed some incredible spatial awareness!
Rachid: I live in Delft (but I grew up in Zeeland and I've also lived in Utrecht and Wageningen 
)
If you check out Cirque du Soleil "La Nouba" show (youtube) there is similar wall double trampoline stuff there, very nice.
arrugh....dizzy......, which explains my poor spatial awareness.
