The backflip story

So Max did a backflip off a 20 foot cliff, in 2007. We were freshman in college and jumping off cliffs is fun at that age.

I took a video of his flip. It was alright, something I definitely couldn't do, but there weren't any fireworks after he hit the water.

Shortly after the event I posted the video on youtube, mostly for Max to see. I thought it would be funny to give the video a false title. I called it the now infamous "quadruple backflip off 235 foot cliff" and left it at that.

At the end of 2007 I'm guessing the video had less than 300 views. By early 2010 I realized the thing had grown substantially and was to almost 200,000 views. It now sits at 1,007,000 views.

The fact that lots of people have seen it is awesome, but not my original intention.
