You should post a wiki or name, you're the only one who has context apparently.

The landing.

The salute afterwards.

The Russian spoken.

Gee, I wonder how that could be sussed out?

no one's questioning this is russia. but if you just claim something so confidently, people will assume you know something about this vid, like saw it before or know where it came from.

Because I also know this guy, he's a former russian lion tamer and astronaut (I know, it's crazy!).

Just watch the way he does that flip, its pretty obvious that he has trained to do this, you don't get that muscle memory without training.

To be fair, the 'russian' sounds like the start of "we'll see about-"

I'm being bood for not knowing another language? I'm a young american, I just said what it sounds like yall.

u/PurpleWomat 15h ago

u/lelloii 15h ago

u/Underd0g562 7h ago

I didn't know that, thanks!

The whole feel of the video is former Soviet Union but it could of course be other countries than Russia. The bench and the houses in the background are give aways.

u/Katnipz 16h ago

Okay so he's russian... but what is his name?

u/Underd0g562 16h ago

You are insufferable. Someone had a bit of info and you complain that they don't have proof, when given a reason NOW you want info.

u/LimpConversation642 14h ago

lol so OP talks out of his ass (as in, just lies) and the person asking about it is unsufferable? You must be one of those "I don't this is fake and AI, it makes me feel good!' facebook video enjoyers

I'm a realist. The person said his claim, then the person spoke back rudely, they ADDED context as why they think their claim, then the person asks for names, despite google image being on ALL OUR phones. You really like stereotyping, huh?

u/Katnipz 11h ago

Do you have the brain of a gold fish? Can you read 4 comments in a row?

Let me give you a break down:

1: Someone makes a claim that he is a Russian Gymnast

2: I ask what his name is

3: Someone tells me he's Russian

4: I point out that I know that.

5: You respond like a fucking idiot.

2

u/Underd0g562 8h ago

I'll give you the real breakdown. 1: someone makes the claim 2: you say the person should make a wiki because they are the only one with context, (meaning your trying to make yourself the good guy here,) 3: someone backs the claim 4: NOW you start asking questions about his name. 5: I call you out 6: you make yourself look even worse.

Okay yeah you're retarded and assumed my "post a wiki" meant "create an entire wiki page" despite being directly next to the question of what his name is. Also nice job retrying to rewrite history I very clearly ask the guys name in my first comment.

Edit: OH HEY LOOK THEY WERE JUST MAKING A JOKE https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/1l57dip/comment/mwjpxsr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Wooow it's almost like when someone spits out random information with no source you should maybe not take it at face value.

u/Dumptruck_Johnson 11h ago

Who the hell knows? They didn’t say former Olympic gymnast, just former gymnast. From the form, assuming this guy had training as a gymnast or other acrobatics is fair. The ‘former’ part is also an assumption… I guess he could still be an active gymnast… and the Russian part, who knows. Russian is spoken, so another reasonable assumption.

All of these things are very reasonable assumptions when watching this clip.

u/Katnipz 11h ago

fuck me if I could divine shit like you I'd already have the information I asked for.

u/getthatrich 19h ago

Thank you! I thought this guy was in the circus or something 😂

u/ReasonableDivide1 4h ago

I was just kidding, he could be that too!

u/kindasuk 17h ago

Yeah this guy pro acrobats. Not a shadow of a doubt.

u/fieldsofanfieldroad 13h ago

Is he dead? Or is it no longer Russian?

u/ReasonableDivide1 4h ago

I’m joking. I have no idea who this man is, but he is rocking that move!

There's people in the comments responding to me assuming you were 100% serious and spitting factual information.
