At 1:15 you can clearly see he paused the game typed in sv_Gravity -800 then at 1:16 he paused the game again and put in sv_Gravity 800 again -.-!

[RammsteinFan1100]

[proudpotterfan]

[thepuzzler1]

[rodtorre7]

[thepuzzler1]

[LTtriCk3R]

[whatnowalli]

[IanLeoTV]

What's the stunt at 1:06? The double backflip wasn't tucked so what was it THANKS!!! :D

[SWIFTteammiami]

@IanLeoTV its called a double wip///:D

[DerFischiPlayer]

he is good O.o

[LCAmarkymark]

Liukin did this in 1988

[Jezkough]

He got 8-9 feet in the air somehow..... what an energy transfer, new highjump technique?

[Anark9]

well he is asian... im not suprised... they are way better in EVERYTHING

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

this is what every asian does when they get new pokemon cards

[markoparko]

Li Xiaoshuang was bad ass.

[SuperSeven8nine]

Fregan freaky has this dude got balls

[Verification11]

what year was this

[TripleAces78]

@Verification11 1992 Barcelona

[Verification11]

@TripleAces78 maaaaan that's old i was only 2-3 years old O_o, he's the best i ever seen tho.

[23house23]

is he the guy in ocean's eleven?

[crigoba1]

joooooooooooooooooodddddddeeee­eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr

[Razraal]

FREAK!!

[Trashboldus]

this is unreal

[jadie151995]

omg! look like knee cap because he also fell down!!

[danabe12]

woah i mean, how do people get such height on this floor. i mean i been in gymnastics for a while as well but i have never seen anyone get that high!

[charliehustlenflow]

@danabe12 just a little thing called block

[Elisheval]

what did he place in the olympics after that performance?

[ChainChomp2]

@Elisheval 1st

[Aikipanther]

Best part about these is when your face breaks the sound barrier because of the torque from the accelerating rotation and you're thrown off balance because the air rushing into your ears burst your eardrums.

[FunAndJokes]

alway the chinese 

[unholyfarter]

this is gayer then 8 guys fucking 9 guys.

[wushunate1]

@unholyfarter You're ignorant.

[pivotlordylord]

@unholyfarter how in any way is this gay?

[citiuscovax1]

Thats right about the time spring loaded floors came out but its still not that bouncy, you do have to know how to punch.... and Triples suck to do.... they scare the crap out of me

[kap2z]

Where the fuck did gravity go?

[encore543]

you know if you think about it @ 0:22 he could be a grate brake dancer

[2ndAveLine]

Did Li Ning ever do a triple back? It would seem so easy for him- I recall him doing quadruple dismounts off high bar in practice, and his 2 backs look way too easy.

[Stain559]

high backflip

[yoshortyb]

how the hell is that possible

[eggnog158]

OMG why don't high jumpers do this?? he got like 3 metres up :|

[miley1996jonas]

wow that is creepy!

[0SCJustJohn]

Half of 5'2 is 31 inches. Take that from 8ft and we can see he is getting a minimum 65" vertical, most likely well over 70". In comparison, Michael Jordan was said to have a 42-48 inch vertical.

If you go by height the difference becomes drastic. Jordan at MOST 61% of his height. This guy, at LEAST 105% of his height.

[Gaspacho79]

@0SCJustJohn

.........

if you knew anything about gymnastic you would know that that's no ordinary floor mate..

it allows you to jump way higher than you normally would....

[0SCJustJohn]

@Gaspacho79 I'm confused. You sound like you want to disagree with me, yet you just said the exact same thing I did. =/

[Mikizzle15]

That's fuckin awesome. Pardon my language.

[pmurdock123]

li is a tiny 5'1 so he by the laws of physics spin exrely fast in the air, the height he achieves though is extraordinary. no wonder he plaeed gold with that triple, there so rare.

[whatatwist25]

AHH yes!

this is true master of acrobatic

[speedofpee]

please tell me he got gold on floor?

[lurbrenfujiqin]

he got gold. lol

[bayyPiNAY]

that was amazing~ he moves so lightly o_o

[Seniter]

One flip going up into the air - one flip at the peak of the jump - one flip on his way back down. Amazing... truely awesome.

[JMUDoc]

I saw this live, back when I was dabbling in gymnastics, and I nearly fell out of my chair at that triple back.

The rest was a bit wobbly in places, but who cares? A triple back and flairs got the job doen back in '92!

[HayzeRagex]

He jumped so high.

[mfrizzle90]

it seems like the push up thing after the triple backflip wasn't planned lol

[fhenrique41]

''steroids is the breakfast of champions.'' LOL 5***** awesome video

[CopsUrMasterAndLord]

steroids is the breakfast of champions.

[ask144]

nice

[MegaVapour]

wow how... can... he... do that??

[hidemysocks]

i hate how they changed the code :( now his routine has so many deductions in it

[GymnastH89]

What deductions are you talking about? :P

[hidemysocks]

this is in 2006 so i might be wrong but i know he didn't hold his handstand. and the way he steps into the corner he would get .3 off for every step cause he didn't turn at least 180 degrees.. but thats a new rule i think

[GymnastH89]

The simple step deductions are only takin if they're not doing some sort of gymnastics element. The half turn to prone in the first pass, the front tuck to stomach then flair sequence after the second, and the split jump into the corner after the front tuck to dive roll pass would all qualify as a "gymnastics skill" so he wouldn't get any deductions. The handstand hold would have gotten deducted at any time. That's not the new code. This would still hold a very high score even today.

[mchc715]

I bet if he backflipped for distance, he can take the Guinness World Record easily

[fakmenow]

yh becuz most ppl when they spring off they move verticaly he moved verticaly and horizontal which is harder...

[Dancersandcircusact]

how the hell??

[Zemery1]

flexible :p and breakdancing xD

[Tbagg979]

Holy crap he I amazing. The flairs are by far my fav but nobody can hate on tha trip

[KitoksNeiVisi]

sweet he is flying : D

[nick52836]

i wonder if he can do a backflip dunk

[NasDa]

He is a legend in Chinese gymnastics history.

As much as I agree how high he jumped when he did that, I still think that people like Jordan jumps higher than him. It is just looks higher since he curled in the air, you have to count his legs too.

[0SCJustJohn]

@NasDa It's not an illusion. Gymnastic technique on a spring floor allow you to jump far higher than a normal person ever could.

Just for kicks, take a closer look at the video. This guy is 5'2" so his reach should be almost 7 feet. If you pause it when he's taking off you can see his reach is a little below the blue bar in the audience. He gets his entire body well above that. A foot over his reach at the very least. So 8ft minimum. Possibly a lot more since he is moving away from the camera.

[zahgelu]

damn :D

[jahcrab]

How high is the highest documented gymnast jump? I suppose the board/floor makes it easier to jump that high, but still, I guess it's comparable to high jump conetenders?

[G33314Lucas]

go get on a floor and see how bouncy it is

its not very bouncy

[ShortTube]

wow if u pause at 1:17, that's like flying

[supremeala]

Wow!

[zantoine]

lol break dance

[fahrezz]

yeah flair is originally a gymnastics move.

[amazing1968]

ohohohohohohooooooooooo!!!!

[omxpablo19]

agreed with the person earlier. i dont know dick about gymnastics, but his flips and jumps were so smooth.

[ispaht]

Liukin had better landings, but Li Xiaoshuang had better form in the air.

[oollaallaa]

that was incredible but i didnt understand a word of his funny talk

[RonnyBB707]

That has to be the best and "controlled trible back that I have ever seen on floor. Watch closely of the rotation of the 1st & 2nd flip during the trible. Doesn't it seem that the first two rotations rotate in the same exact spot without dropping? Amazing.

[banfer92]

wowowowowowow años y años de duro entrenamiento

[m0vies88]

holy fuck!

[ISIJAH]

I think he jumped like his double hight =) AMAZING THOUGH<3=D

[madnezz987]

lol what's with the random front tuck > front tuck

[Mrretarded101]

so he can get to the other corner

without just walking

[madnezz987]

hahaha i guess.

[thomastiegs]

umm... not gunna lie. YOUR FUCKING RETARDED!! instead of hating on this video why dont you go try one backflip in your backyard. land on your head and fucking die you hating bastard!

it'd be appreciated by alot of people.

thanks fagget.

hahaha wait i just realized your name is "Mrretarded101" god dame. just commit suicide :) bitch

[thomastiegs]

damn**

[Mrretarded101]

well thats nice :)

but i forgot what i put cause this is a cool video lol

and yes i can do that backflip btw :DD

[thomastiegs]

k.. lol just pissed me off apperantly.

[RandomCoked]

wow

[vitku94]

world highest jump is about 2.56m

Its fucking huge but thats much higher!

[ziga112]

lol...wr in high jump is 2.45 and this is no near 2.45...

look... he is araund 165cm tall, he jumped like 2.05m...

[christop1222]

its 2.75 meters :P

[AndrewHMeador]

To begin with, this floor is sprung and no, he's not competing in the high jump. Secondly, he flipped three freaking times mid air!!! Stop hating awesome performances!!

[libengazi]

@vitku94

High jump world record is 2.45m

[GMSCOOTS]

This guy is GOD

[chrisrox112]

the triple back and the 2 back layout was amazing! the triple backs bhs was so fast!

[G33314Lucas]

its actily punching

[shaq147]

he jumps higher than michael jordan

[Mourne84]

@shaq147 yeah he does....damn it... O_O

[KingdomHerts1]

Lol ye Jigglyfidda125 xD

[jigglyfidda125]

he should qualify as a living spiderman

[KingdomHerts1]

Omfg Amazing ! i can not even do a flick flack and im going to gym every day !

[Willcodeath]

wow, the straight leg double back is as amazing as the triple backflip

[allimoballi]

a lot of people can do a layed out double back...the triple is 10 times more impressive...especially with that height

[G33314Lucas]

yeah

[signalchenum]

i never thought we humans can jump that high, if he's a lion dancer it'll be easy for him to do jumping. i bet he's the champion in this competition, how many days or years do you need to take to jump that high? this guy is awesome

[pizzavsfatty]

dang. u can tell by looking at how the floor reacts to his punch that its not sprung.

[ziom15001900]

amazing

[pshychokillermonkey]

Now ive done the Math, and if u find the square root of pie (1.744) and divide that by -0 x some chinese gymnast, you will find that that is not PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!!!!

[GeoOwen]

oh sorry he will have to do it again...

[iLikeDragon]

that was pretty much the most awesome thing ive ever seen

[7792win]

its a triple back somersault dumb fucks!

[mrmigrator]

Awesome. Thats the limit! Anyone ever see 4 flips off the floor, let me know. it can be done better.

[Screwill]

... How the fuck is that even possible? O__O

If this guy started doin parkour, he'd be awesome. :3

[matthewmovement]

WHAT!!! This is freaking amazing. I can't block even half that height!

This guy is like superman's little brother.

[ooizenchien]

agree!!! he is super strong

but y muz he pumping after the flip?

[Graessssi]

how much meters is he away from the ground at the triple Backflip. It looks like 3 Meters :O (ouch my english^^)

[BudoRuben]

Like every wise man will say EVERYTHING is possible!!!

[mlee96]

I think he could do a triple Pike back flip

[chased34]

man he jump high as fuck nice work

[aquaagu2]

he gay hes got no nuts lol jk

[66QQ66]

his wife is a very charming lady who is a professional singer. He owns a gymnastisc school, he owns a big sportswear company. His ex-girlfriend, Li Yifang, was in the national gymnastics team and attended the 1992 Olympic Games. And, Li Yifang is very elegant lady. He obviously has a wealthy and happy life that you don't enjoy.

[66QQ66]

check out "Li Xiaoshuang FX 1992 Olympics EF" at 1:50, the girl in green shirt is Li Yifang. She is beautiful.

[natcomber13]

this is awesome, but why don't people do triples anymore, I would love to see some more modern gymnasts doing this too.

[BigRedScouser]

It's probably to risky, if they fail they lose a chance of a meddle. I suppose if 1 gymnast did a triple, other would have to in order to beat or match them.

[sunnie123]

damn,he is great!!!

[nonoday]

Very nice routine, but my favorite CHN Gymnast still @ LI Xiaopeng ! He is amazing !

@+

[dzzsc]

This guy is a legend of Gymnastics, simply by his courage of performing such a difficult triple. I prefer him to Li Ning. Thanks for sharing this.

[glenndelossantos15]

wow. that was sick. i still hate china for winning all the medals in gymnastics this year. but he's awesome!!!! great job.

[s051129]

wow amazing

[dbbzzz]

what is this mans vert! OMG

[qwietstowm1]

those flips at 1:15 remind me of playing the old metroid game

[shadow6190]

Screw Attackk!!!

[bridzo]

yeah i can do that with my eyes closed

literally i am hell skilled

[kingcharlesfunksquid]

I'd have such a laugh with that ability. like i would do triple backflips waiting in queues at supermarkets.

[crilz112]

does he know hes doing really good flares

[YoeriYoeri]

no, he's like: OMG WTF AM I DOING

[AgentZeroTN]

give dis guy enough running space,he can jump over Yao n Shaq standing on top of each other n dunk...

[tomhackett]

that double flip at the end is amazing; how he does it with a straight body is crazy

[macwild1234]

he can do 3 back flips and one push up...no more

[darkuser999]

dude...this will give those trickers and wannabe gymnasts a run for their money...

[AmazinglyStubborn]

amazing skill. perfect landing in the end too.

[Vaioleto]

Is he from shaolin or something?

[lenaisabel9]

its called gymmnastics you fucktard!

[Vaioleto]

Umm... are you sure you're mentally stable enough to be posting on the internet?!

If my witty comment made you that mad, I'd hate to see how you'd react when you see an actual 'f*cktard'.

[lenaisabel9]

how the hell is this comment witty? you ignorant fuck! try expanding your horizon just a little bit you moron!

[Vaioleto]

Gee... well I'm sorry, mr. urafucktard. I'll try to be more like you next time. :roll

[theproffesor1]

what was his rating?

[tinyd0t]

he can be a really good break dancer for sure

lol

[24NerF]

fuckin insane

[corcoprhat]

OMG!......OMG!!...wah!! triple!! TRIPLE!! OMG!

[g2raspberry]

he landed waaay better than most other triple backs ive seen

[xmarixxmischiefx]

is the ground bouncy? damn he got so much air

[rensephoz2]

yes it is

[tinymavy]

wow. he is like crazy good!

[gymmerz]

Wow. That was great stuff. Usually you see triple backs which are cowboy-ed over, but he completes the entire rotation. Sweet stuff from the chinese.

[gymmerz]

Wow. That's was great

[w1iper]

watch my double backflip vid!

[Phillip766]

by 00:10 haha its gay

[Petrifilms]

dam.

dam....

sigh...who will the first to land a quad back flip?

[billygoyboy]

let's enjoy the triple for a while, huh?

[Romarioman]

He's better at triple back than Andrey Belousov.
