2011 - One Backflip A Day

My Dad bet me $100 that I couldn't do one backflip (backflip, gainer, wallflip, etc.) each day of 2011..

HUGE thanks to everyone (and Shaina, I guess) who helped with filming/support of this project.

I did it!

Music: Seven Nation Army (Glitch Mob Remix)

Note: Not all of the flips were used in this video, as some were poor quality/low lighting. To see ALL of the flips, go to http://www.SamTheCobra.tumblr.com or browse through my channel here on youtube.

Next task: I'm thinking about doing a backflip on EVERY continent, starting with North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia this summer.. stay tuned at http://www.SamTheCobra.com, or follow me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SamTheCobra

EDIT (1/27/12):
Thanks so much for all the support!

I did this for 2012! It was a lot of hard work, but i did it and posted a video of all of the flips together! I didn't realize anyone else had ever done this until late in February when i did another search for "one backflip a day" and your video popped up. But i still finished my own thing, and it was cool to see someone do it! I also have a guy from Germany who did this with me (indirectly) after i issued the challenge on January 1st who is working on finishing his up since he started late!
