Hefty-Comparison-801 on July 25, 2025 5:06 pm That’s embarrassing… especially when you’re a dude who regularly backflips while shagging a fly ball at the same time.
DeathwishDena on July 25, 2025 5:15 pm I hope all is teether okay. Sounds like they’re still intact but that doesn’t mean they won’t fall out later

Happens to every guy from time to time.
I mean, he did do one. Not a *total* fail.
that looks like it was on purpose
It was his shoes that made him slip. What was he thinking 😭
He flipped so hard his shiny show flew off…

The sound of him hitting the floor is so loud 😬

Omg that sucks, I love these guys and their videos,
That’s embarrassing… especially when you’re a dude who regularly backflips while shagging a fly ball at the same time.
That looked like it really hurt 😫 Hope he is OK

Not the flip America wanted but the flip America deserves.
