British Gymnast Makes Rest of Humanity Look Fat, Lazy


British gymnast, stuntman, and probable ninja Damien Walters has released a demo reel of his amazing athleticism demonstrating exactly why you should never, ever let your girlfriend meet this guy.

Even forgetting for a moment that he has abs that would shame Michelangelo's David, and that Mr. Walters is currently working on the latest film by the brother/transgender sister duo behind The Matrix, Damien is like some kind of living incarnation of the phrase "wicked awesome."

I won't describe the whole reel in detail, but I would like to point out two highlights:

First, at the 57 second mark, Damien completely strips down to his underoos while flipping through the air. I fell and smacked my head against the side of my bathtub getting into the shower this morning.

The moral of this homoerotic story? Damien Walters is a bit more coordinated than I am.

Second, at the 44 second mark, he enters a moving car by jumping onto it from the opposite side, sliding across its moon roof, then curling himself into the passenger side window. I dare any of you to try the same thing and not die five or six times.

(Note: The Escapist is not responsible for any death that may occur as a result of anything you read here.)

When the Mirror's Edge movie gets made - and trust me, it will - this guy will undoubtedly be in it. And then I will buy the DVD of the movie and watch it in slow-motion. Many times. Yes.

Hawwwwwwwwwwwwt.

What is the point of showing this except to make us feel depressed and/or more than a little homicidal towards this guy?
To show something cool, I guess?

That video is amazing. I want to be able to get my body to do things like that.

I have to say I was unimpressed until he managed to take his clothes off while flipping... remarkabley sexy.

Holy fuck. I think I'd end up dead if I even tried the simplest thing in that video. I dont know what would be the "simplest" thing in that vid though.

PS. That song made me want to replay FFVIII

Does anybody else sometimes get the crazy idea after seeing things like this that goes, "I could do a lot of this stuff if only I weren't afraid to do it?"

That idea + alcohol = a very different kind of YouTube video.

You do realise all English people can do this, right?

How do you think we won so many wars without any guns?

I can do that. I just choose not to.

Seriously though, that guy is all kinds of awesome. Legend.
