The raw emotion in this video is insane. Found you a super long time ago through Magnus' channel and this is so motivating!! Great work and it is so cool to see you succeed!

[@AntonFomenko]

Thank you so much! 🤘

[@destickert1307]

Magnus, the close friend that told him to take his shirt off for extra strenght!😀

I've never seen a donation comment in the 10,000 hours of youtube videos I've watched, how come there are dozens on this video?

[@susanjane4784]

I've been vegging on movies, KZbin, everything, from tie-dying, ancient history, food prep, watercolor tutorials, even Magnus in Hollywood --- BUT this is the best by far. Anton is the teacher, the guru, the human who defies gravity, expectations, impossibility, and all the rest. This is not boring. The editing by itself deserves an award. The real-life slice of an athlete's persistence is all those superlatives and so much more. I saved this to my library and will be viewing it for years to come. This had better go viral!

[@caseycronan9217]

Well said!

[@Thecyclingeconomicsdoc]

Anton, you're a massive inspiration. I'll never be a gymnast or acrobat. I'll never compete in a physical event like you. I'm 42, and have a permanent and severe lower back injury. But seeing the grit that it takes to push yourself beyond what your current limits are, especially for someone that has decades of experience like you... is truly amazing. It helps to create further resolve in my own journey as a person and athlete. Thank you.

[@cropmyname]

this must be one of the best examples about commitment and (sometimes unnoticable) progress towards big goals, huge respect!

[@BRobMorris]

How you manage to do this stuff at all is incredible, but as a side gig is even more incredible

[@AntonFomenko]

Thats a nice one! Thank you! 🤘

[@algorerhythm2751]

I think I'm gonna show this to someone the next time they ask what it takes to be a world class athlete. It's not the gym routine or the diet, it's the dedication to all of it and more.

[@aidschbe]

I love how you keep showing not just the results like they're effortless, but the hard work behind it, more inspirational than anything.

[@EnriqueR2000]

That perseverance is insane man, insane that you can keep going for that long trying the same trick

[@Yesa]

This channel is so underrated

[@bettyjane6684]

[@cconnon1912]

The determination is amazing.

[@jngalvan]

Really nice to see all the journey and the gregorius effort you put into to actually do it. Especially like you said it, when it's something that is hard to see the improvements and so very hard to stick to for longer periods of time. Also very intriguing as how on all the attempts the force looked enormous and impossible to withstand, but then when you actually did it, the force looked merely challenging. If you see only the sucessfull attempt it looks very hard but possible. Very intriguing on how the perspective shifts. Makes you think how many things we take for granted and judge as "doable" but don't know the colossal amount of effort it took to transition it from "impossible" to be seen as "doable". Extreme show of grit and also of good friends, as for continuing to support you after 9 months is also a testament for their support. Thanks for the Video Anton ^^ and II think you and your shoulders earned a well deserved rest/break.

[@TheNieffi]

"You are not getting hurt...much." Love that.

[@friggeh]

The sheer effort, emotion and dedication... You rock! I should donate more, you deserve more, but if everyone pitches in, you should get correctly rewarded

[@AntonFomenko]

Thank you so much!🙏

[@T.B.S.Live_of_SAVAge]

Сколько же в тебе воли, человечище!)Быть на столько одержимым своей целью это просто браво!👏👏👏👏👏

Спасибо большое!🙏🔥

[@originaldahha]

mannn when you taco'd and said " i'm too old for this shit" I felt that in my soul, as someone in a very similar situation (someone whos spent their whole life doing acrobatic and physical stuff and still working in the field), i'm so please you kept going until you got it. good work man, you're an inspiration =)

[@rickardboberg]

The determination! People like Anton are the reason humanity is moving forward. Well done!

[@sratnatozmrde]

I was wondering what happened to Kelly and then you just casually sharing with us that your wife is cheering for you.. And i am like Wife, what happened? Congratz on both achievements - Wedding and this inhuman double back flip trick. :))

[@AntonFomenko]

Thank you! ☺

[@notyourhanzo]

I've watched your channel before and I like the stuff but you know I did the ole "don't subscribe, watch a video every once in a while" move. I subscribed after this video. That was a badass proj and the perseverance you had was amazing.

[@nicolaskargruber]

I love that you show your journey with all the failures and downs, and not only the highlights and progress this is more motivating for me as i usually i struggle with fear inside my head when i wanna learn new flips

[@noelcarson7052]

This is something today's kids need to understand. Over 600 failed attempts & then by pushing on... success ‼️COGRATULATIONS‼️‼️‼️

[@AntonFomenko]

Thanks a lot💪😎🔥

[@Schrai]

Напишу на русском. Досмотрев это видео до первой удачной попытки, я испытал такую радость за тебя, Антон, ты невероятно крут! Такой настойчивости и количеству вложенных физических и моральных усилий можно только позавидовать!

[@fabled.]

"You are always moving but sometimes you cannot see the move". Anton always delivers some quality wisdom. Congrats man, on to the next!

[@alvin001122]

Congrats Anton. What a inspirational moment. People try hard enough but sometimes just haven't tried hard long enough. Thank you for not giving up.

[@MrPrimitiveman]

This is truly inspiring! He continues to try after failing multiple times, injuries and frustration simply for the personal satisfaction of achieving a self imposed goal. That is dedication! It is also the personification of my favorite word…tenacity! Well done sir!!

[@gerhardschone4379]

The most impressive thing is that you didn't give up! i'm amazed

[@horczech]

Every video you post makes me feel like a 😺, but this one have hit much harder.... Your persistence and patience is incredible 👏 👏 👏

Your humility and determination are truly incredible Anton.

[@AntonFomenko]

Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@sheilaa4785]

Honestly thank u, seeing you struggling with no reach your goal just got me down no earth, I mean since I follow you, the way I see you is like you can do everything, doesn't matter how hard it is, you can always get it. Now watching you with this move, and that it has take you sooo long to achive it, wow. Right now I'm struggling with something as well and I feel like I'm not seeing any progress, and I often think like maybe I'm not doing my best because of that, so thank u for this video, so far the best in your channel.

[@Tramptravelramp]

Anton please never stop. These videos and the insight you give are just priceless. Thank you !

[@prawjeke]

I shed a tear at the end of this one… thanks Anton. Also, I think some of us would like to hear about this wife of yours a little more!

[@ScottishJazzman]

Anton. Incredible. Not a lot else to say. Honestly. Commitment, perseverance, and determination personified.

[@mmlei7540]

this video makes me so happy. i've only seen 20 min of your nine months but i feel so much excitement and joy for your accomplishment. like i feel motivated to get up and do chores i've been putting off. im glad you have so many people supporting you! you+wife are adorable. and yeah, gas in the Bay sucks.

[@thatperson2478]

That was amazing. The determination and work-ethic... wow. You should be proud of yourself and I'm so happy you have all these people around you to support you. What you achieve with your body and hard work is incredible.

[@jibbajungs]

proof that you can do anything you want if you simply practice and never give up!

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

Congratulations! That final one looked so smooth and graceful.

[@sgoorhuis]

Mad respect for the skills, but even more for the determination. Awesome!

[@AntonFomenko]

Thanks!

[@ericathefae]

I don't usually comment, but damn, that was impressive. And not just the move itself (which is obviouly difficult), but the perseverance. I've never seen anything like it. What you said about how one cannot always see one's progress really struck a cord with me: I have ADD and am still trying to learn how best to structure my life and work to find a balance that's sustainable for me, and it's so easy to get frustrated with the simple things that other people seem to do just effortlessly but that I struggle with - sometimes I feel that I do nothing but fail, over and over again. But all that effort, eventually it does pay off, even if no one can see it but just notices the failures, I gotta keep trying until I find what works for me.

[@AntonFomenko]

Yeah! Failure is weird thing to be honest 💪😅

[@Tomwithnonumbers]

This the most inspirational video I've ever seen. If you can try this move hundreds and hundreds of times, I can try and do better in my own life goals.

[@DWSOutdoors]

I really hope you understand that you will be motivating 10s of 1000s of people to never give up with this one video alone! Thanks again for being you Anton!

[@kanebuckthorpe1]

You’re an inspiration! The move looks insane, well done man. Be proud!

[@llewelld2]

Awesome stuff Anton!

[@LordFlashheart]

Close to the best 20mins I've ever spent on KZbin. Thanks for documenting the journey. So happy for you to finally smash it!!

[@kevinlyon9501]

A great example of commitment, and persistence towards a goal, think everyone can learn something from this.

[@sphhyn]

Wow. Your persistence is incredible! Not only doing the trick but also the hours of editing … Thank for this inspiring video.

[@Doushibag]

Often times one metric for measurement shows no movement, but if you can find any measurement of progress that shows movement, it helps a lot to stay motivated and know you're progressing. Could be something as simple as how consistently you come off the rings with the right momentum to get the correct distance forward or rotation speed or the small difference in timing of when you unwind to grab the rings slowly getting closer to the correct timing. Hard to see some of that stuff, but there are often many little improvements along the road to success that we don't always see, but we eventually realize once the end goal is achieved and can be repeated with significantly less additional attempts.

[@descipher]

Thank you Anton for this. Thank you for the constant inspiration you give through your videos. Hat's off Sir. 9 long months. Thank you for just being yourself and motivating me. I am so grateful for having come across your channel and being your subscriber. ❤️❤️❤️

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it -- but all that had gone before."

[@lottelouise4195]

Dude... you're so inspiring. And not just in your words but in your actions.

[@davidhelman3045]

Holy moly Anton, this is OCD and determination personified, I am so proud of you!!! That is so awesome, but also, coming from someone who has has shoulder labrum surgery, I am very afraid for your shoulders and elbows, so try to make sure to rest and listen to your body. But man, great job, and awesome trick!!!

[@troysmith6929]

Well done Anton!!! Your resolve and dedication are huge man, and that is such a cool achievement. Congrats on conquering the hardest move!!

[@brnktv]

*Takes shirt off like Magnus* - "I'm too old for this shit!" Hahaha, oh man. Anton, you're wonderful. As someone who grew up very active, but then started smoking as a teen, developed asthma, and am now 36, I'm quite sedentary. I *wish* I had a gym like this that I could go to whenever I wanted, I'd probably spend all day there. I sometimes do go to my local trampoline park, do 1 pass through their Ninja Warrior course (which is super small and easy relative to yours), complete it on the first try, and leave. Mainly because that 1st try kills me. But you and Magnus both motivate me to do more. Been riding my Santa Cruz 27.5" and doing other things as of late. Need to do more though.

[@Germz4U]

Holy shit man! Anton you are one of my favorite people in the world!

[@Applejuice803]

Awesome video! I especially like the last part about movement and progression. And for me, this completed one statement from your previous video, where you were teaching backflip, so it is something like - sometimes you can not see the movement, but it does not mean it's not there. So if you go, you go. Don't change your mind. That's a very strong message, buddy :)

[@i0am0hamm]

This is so motivational. I experienced this climbing. For months and months, I was so frustrated because I couldn't send the grades that I wanted. It was so discouraging and I thought I wasn't making any progress. Finally, a breakthrough. I started sending some of them. And now it's pretty consistent. Thank you so much for setting this example. You are amazing!

So… you not going to leave if I start posting more shorts?🙃😅

[@FannysLoA]

@@AntonFomenko Maybe, maybe not 😜 It's up to you, as it's your channel. But the format is annoying, both on phone and PC. I'd prefer it if you just posted short clips as regular videos without that "shorts" tag on them, if you can't just keep them on Instagram, since at least Instagram is better programed for it.
