Description

Do you want to do gymnastics without leaving your bedroom? Here is how.


 




Hello. My name is Nick. But you probably know me as Misterepicmann. Or Shirley. But that's a story for another time. I joined YouTube back in 2009 with no real expectations other than to be myself on camera. Right now I am pursuing a degree in cinematic arts at college and I certainly hope to use that knowledge to make movies one day (Spitting water at my roommate and riding a broom around the room doesn't count...lolz). I currently own a company called Lost Light Films which is my primary focus after school and I hope I can merge my efforts into that company once school is completed...if I actually pass.


 

Transcript

Welcome to bedroom gymnastics. I'm your instructor, Mister Epic Mann. Today we're gonna go on the parallel close hanging bar. It's not for gymnastics but it's the closest thing we have, so we're going to use it.

Normally hangers that way about 0.2 pounds hang on this thing but, uhm, today myself, which weighs 107 pounds, am just going to hang on it.

Uhm, that should be fine. I'm sure they've tested it in the factory so there shouldn't be any problems but, uhm, yeah, let's get started.

[found another bar]

That was good, now let's try that again. This time, the high jump.

Obviously, that's not working. Uhm, new event. The box jump.

That was much better. New event. It's called the handstand.

Before I forget to mention, I have some glasses for sale if anyone wants to buy them.

Last, but not least, we have the back flip. Now, the back flip is meant for experienced gymnastics players only, uhm, so that means do not try it at home if you've not tried gymnastics before. It takes many tries to get good at and, uhm, do not learn from my example even if I'm gonna do it right, uhm, doesn't mean if you do it right like me you're gonna get it, because it took me many tries to get it on soft ground, uhm, but let me show you what I've got right now.

God, God, God, aargh, ah, God!

Explanations

GONNA= (coll.) Going to.


THE CLOSEST= The most similar.


HANGERS THAT WAY...= This sentence doesn't make much sense, either I'm missing something or he is just talking ungrammatically.


OBVIOUSLY= In a clear and undisputable way, with no possible doubt.


EVENT= Sporting event. A sporting event is a performance of a particular sport or modality.


HANDSTAND= The act of supporting the body in a stable, inverted vertical position by balancing on the hands.


LAST BUT NOT LEAST= We use this phrase to introduce another element of a series, explaining that it is not the less important thing, but simply the last thing we mention.


BACK FLIP= A sequence of body movements in which a person leaps into the air and then rotates one or more times while airborne.


GET IT= Succeed.


God= Oh my God! = An exclamation of surprise, pain, shock, joy, etc. In this case: pain. Big pain.
