    Yes, me too. Somehow standing backflip was always easier for me than the front flip. I could do front maybe 40% time successfully, back like 98% time successfully. and whole bunch of other things. Seems like we let that flexibility go as we get older. Why?

    I hate front flips, even into water, backwards always made more sense to me.

    I am 34 and as of last year can still sorta do it, I stumble on the landing but can get full rotation still. I try to stretch when I remember but I certainly have lost some of lol

    Being vol. I don't make as many call as I wish I could but I enjoy doing it and helping give back to the community.
    Being traffic and people control depending on the situation it has really opened my eyes to how bad distracted driving has become and how dangerous it can be for all of us.
    People need to slow down when you see any incident scene or even by a town truck driver helping a motorist.
    Also just so people are aware in CT.
    I am not a police officer however if we set up a roadblock and we do not do so without very good reasons as we would rather have traffic flow as much as possible PLEASE do not attempt to go around without getting permission first.
    If you do and we catch you we are required to report it to the town or state PD whoevers jurisdiction we are in and it will be bad for you as it is considered a felony, same as if you were to go through a police based road block.
    Too many first responders vol. Or otherwise are being badly hurt or killed by people doing this and those on scene not expecting a car to come through and it can also badly effect a car accident investigation esp if its one where a death has occured.
    And yes alot of us buy dashcams for our cars we own for on scene to protect us. I am saving up for one that is front and rear for when I get my taco as my last one just died.
    Off my soapbox now.
    Just want to help us help you and we all go home safe and without major unnecessary fines or other hassles.

    Thank you all!

    @Spielightdude

    What can I say?

    Closest I can frame it, Its like diamonds , Keeps them happy until it doesn't, but shes been good to me so she feels good and it gives me warm fuzzy feelings also.

    My mistress is a Moto Guzzi Convert , in the warm months we travel to vacations etc. So the tacoma gets a break and stays home and gets some well deserved rest , so it balances out.
