Watched this video and I was wondering if it was fake because of the awkward hand placement for his human flag and the thickness of the pole, especially his "jump" to human flag. Thoughts?
Real or Fake (Human Flag)?

Fake, no doubt
I'd love for that jump to flag to be real. Opens the way for flag climbs between two poles... awesome

this is what really happens if you do a jump to flag 
(it was posted in "funny gymnastics" a few days ago)
I think it's fake, but I think it's possible to jump into a human flag if someone is very proficient with it and has practiced jumping into it.
It's supposed to be comedy. Fake but funny.

Now THAT video would be comedy
Oh I just remembered that Handbalancer had shown a video of his friend that has jumped into a human flag variation (sideways back lever). I can't find the link anymore.
this one?
Not that one. The video is of a circus performer and he jumped into a sideways back lever.
This might be off topic, but what is the narrowest grip possible for human flag?

Shoulder width or slightly wider.

I'm having a hard time imagining a sideways back lever lol. Do you have a video of it?

I believe this is the one, if not it deserves watching regardless!
Enjoyed watching that, thanks. Some funny editing going on at 2:23 - 2:31 
Wow, 2.48 ... what is that? Is there a name for that.

Yes it's this one. Apparently, he did not jump into it. I must have remembered wrong.
