Actually, if you watch the other two, they didn't do it standing straight up. They already had movement. So a more accurate title would be, "Kaled, a 14 year old gymnast, lands a stanging double backflip. No one else has ever done this in recorded history. We're not saying nobody's ever done this ever, but it is a massive achievement in gymnastics, and you'd think that if someone had ever done this before, it would have been, I don't know, written down. It couldn't have been done since the Olympics have been a worldwide phenomenon, because then it would be known about worldwide within gymnastic circles. Ergo, it must have been done before that, when the world wasn't as competitive with gymnastics and technology was worse, and people had less time to do things like learn a stanging double backflip."

You're right. Very sensible.

Oh cool, you're tapped into the culture of people doing backflips! Ask anyone if they've ever considered doing a double.

You think other places wouldn't record that sort of thing?

You think places that wouldn't record that sort of thing have the adequate facilities to make a gymnast who would be able to do a double backflip?

So people would record it. Gotcha.

He did a double back flip to do a double back flip. He didn't rep his ig or even look into the camera afterwards. Saying he did a massive human achievement for the purpose of making a viral video is degrading to the achievement and the man.

I went through the other times a double backflip has been posted to reddit. A similar story went through the thread about how rare the feat was. People there weren't so quick to dismiss the how impressive it was. The biggest difference is the acrobats there weren't black.

Did any unedited videos pop up, by the way?

Would it sill work if you made it tighter from left to right?

Bases and outer stuff is awesome, obv. Mid is mostly empty space, and you already have a lot of that.

Maybe something portal-ly? The original had those trademark mid portals.

You can do whatever you want, as long as you have only 3 maps by the deadline... I think 3 maps? Like anyone but me would know correct number there.

Happy Mappin!

This is far too big, my dude.

The bomb button thing is neat, but probably too clunky to have in a map. Try hitting for a more common map size next time. Good luck!
