    Very cool... wow. Pretty damn impressive, sheesh. Wish I could do stuff like that.
    Is he getting in to stunt work now or something? They wouldn't even need to CGI anything with him doing the stunts O_O

    If I had amazing athletic abilities and little regard for my own life, that would be how I traveled everywhere.

    Super neat - I'm jealous too! Of course, I'm sure he's put a lot of work into getting that good, but he's bound to have a base of pure talent.

    Well, either that or he grew up consuming nothing but Gummi Berry Juice.

    Damien Walters isn't an Olympic gymnast... Just looking at him, he's not bulky enough. Watching him in action, he's clearly a tumbler and martial artist - not a full-on gymnast. He is most certainly talented, but he's not a gymnast.

    He's pretty good at what he does. I assume it takes some concentration. Some of his stunts are pretty reckless.

    I can't imagine how those joints will feel with age though. Those lands and breaks look pretty rough.

    And brain-dead thugs get 20 million a year to hit a ball with a stick. THIS is a real athlete.

    Check the Men's 3rd board, 5th place.

    Kaitlyn, this guy is an actual gymnast.
    You don't need to be bulky for that. I did gymnastics for a couple of years, and unlike other girls, I was tall (5"7 at the age of 12) and looked more like a ballet dancer than a mini truck-driver. Everyone has a different body.

    Tumbling or whatever it's called IS gymnastics - one of several disciplines. I have a friend here in Norway who used to do this. He would make a good stunt guy in martial art styles. But circumstances will change a bit on the acrobatics when they take away the mats. I guess movie companies might save a few bucks when they don't need to use wires for some of the stunts. :)
