Internet’s Reaction to IShowSpeed’s Iconic Backflip
IShowSpeed has showcased his ability to perform an iconic backflip multiple times. His technique when flipping upside down is considered unique, due to his control on the body. His flips appear slowed down while in the air, which many viewers find remarkable. He recently attempted to break the backflip world record held by Nico Scheicher of Austria, who set the record in 2019. Initially, the internet was unsure if Darren would even make it to 100 flips. However, Speed made over 660 flips in 19 hours.
