Am I the only one who cringes when I see Beau Bartlett’s social media posts doing backflips? Broken bones or high ankle sprain is only one bad landing away…
Beau’s Backflips
- Thread starter PSU_Lion_Fan
- Start date
at least it's nice to see him do something ya know?
What's next? Cringing while a PSU wrestler lifts weights because he might pull a muscle ? same for running because he might get shin splints? Maybe swimming because he might get swimmers ear? Tennis due to the risk of tennis elbow?
Alright Karen let’s relax. We can’t keep athletes in this bubble. He could easily get injured in any other way.
If you are going to complain about the backflip I’m surprised you haven’t complained about the dodgeball games that the team has.
I'm always one uneven sidewalk or unexpectedly high curb away from a broken bone or ankle sprain. And yet the thought of cringing at Beau's post never crossed my mind. Hmmm.
Wrestlers love doing backflip’s for some reason. We tumbled everyday as a warmup and everyone was trying to perfect a black flip. A good portion could do them no problem. I’ve also seen plenty of sprained ankles but never once did anyone ever think about stopping
I don’t know how to break it to you but when Beau wrestles, he’ll be in positions that are way more likely to get him injured than doing back flips that he clearly knows how to do.
Just so he doesn't do it while his opponent has one of his legs elevated, I'm good.
Should save the backflips after winning big matches or special moments ala Gable Stevenson
Been a while since I’ve seen a Black flip
