Flipping amazing! Man makes an incredible leap over the width of a swimming pool on camera
- An acrobatic man shows off with a video recording of himself posted on Friday
- The pool jumper runs to the edge of the water and coils for his impressive leap
- In slow-motion he takes off, flips end-over-end and lands on nimbly on his feet
- He then grabs some shades, jogs over to the camera and shows off some more
A young man shows off some serious athleticism when he records himself doing a full leap and somersault over an in-ground swimming pool.
In a video posted on Friday, the unnamed acrobat comes rushing to the edge of the pool wearing a tank top, shorts and sneakers, and coils to begin his aerial crossing.
In slow-motion, he takes off in a leap and tucks his knees in as he goes end-over-end in a full somersault over the still, chlorinated water.
At the start, the jumper rushes into frame, coiling for the leap over the watery gap
The man springs up to an impressive height from the get go
At the halfway point he begins to tuck in his knees to go into a somersault
He arrives on the other side, feet first, planting himself on the bricks with a solid thud with only slight hop forward before ambling over to a table to grab his shades.
The pool vaulter than jogs along the edge of the water towards the camera as the wording on shirt can be read as: 'People are awesome.'
With the shades now affixed to his face, he gets up close to the lens, points to his right eye and proclaims 'ay' before stepping back and taking the shades back off.
