  • If this is really in 1932, then why was artistic gymnastics still at the "handstand on the beam" stage or even less around that time???

  • HE is BEAST!!!

  • He needs 2 keep his dang feet 2gether! When he's goin into his double or single he twists it rite off da ground (BTW...I am guilty of dis 2!!!) lol!!! But lyk still!

  • @TheBlehh010 very very advanced tecnique for his time would be good today too

  • @taydev2007 YOU ARE RIGHT. MAYBE A QUADRUPLE FULL : )

  • He's basically the Steven Legendre of 1932

  • He does a half twist before he leaves the ground! My coach would whip me if I tumbled like that!

  • wow, gymnastics has gotten way better

  • @CoryClark13 not necessarily. while yes, body position and tension are way out of whack, you do have to remember that it was all learned and performed without the springs of the modern gymnastics floor, nor the aid of the training facilities available nowadays. If you actually want a fair comparison to nowadays, compare him to freerunners/trickers who perform on grass etc, like the 3run channel here on youtube. their stunts aren't much more impressive.
