Imagine this guy saying goodbye to ya, running off and just staring right at you the entire time.
😂😂😂😂
Lol
i came here for the comments
Sounds like a Call of Duty mobile’s bot
That would be hilarious!😂😂😂
Knee over toes guy would be proud.
Oh he is happy man for sure
All i can say is Mad respect to the man. He took something and became the best at it. This stuff always inspires, good job man💯
It's not a sport
What a forward thinking guy
he's never looking back
Backward running may be a niche sport, but not as niche as backward archery.
No one finishes their first practice.
Nailed it
I did this in gym class took me 16 minutes! And my legs hurt for days
knees over toes guy preaches backwards running/walking for knee rehabilitation and strengthening.
imagine seeing that guy running past somewhere when your high 😂😂😂
When my high laughing emojis do what?
then he would be below me
Lol
Lmao
And at that speed too lol
I love backwards running. I try to do 2-3 times a week
Nothing is holding him back.
KneesOverToes CZcams channel kinda did this whole concept years ago for training the ligaments to remove knee pain. There are exercise for shoulders, hips, and vertical leaps.
makes me wonder if this guy's ever had his knees reassessed... probably able to run forward no problem now lol
Seems like something that would be hard to take seriously. But he does, and that's great.
I'm the backwards man, the backwards man…I can walk backwards fast as you can
First thing I thought of, too!
Heck yeah. A fellow person of culture. My nephew was running around backwards a couple days ago and I was singing that.
Bro has the best knees of all time
I found I could run backwards for longer, faster, and easier than forwards way back in highschool. Everyone laughed at me though so I stopped... god why are classmates so cruel.
because outward rep is very important in high school ...and then its value completely implodes overnight
I would definitely fall within seconds of trying this 😂 but this is awesome!!

Would make a great football referee.
This actually deserves more views
Everyone watching this "I can take him on 100m dash backwards"!
Make me remember about the dude in Shinryuji Naga in Eyeshield 21
This guy has to have an amazing back because running backwards is good for your spine and knees
I think this training could possibly be an advantage in sports with certain defensive tactics.
this guy is awesome wow
Game changer!! Me and one of my athletes used to do this all the time. But we would do it uphill with sleds.
The meme potential is limitless.
A lot cooler than speed walking.
Next level would be backward running trail race
Knees over toes guy is gonna make this an Olympic sport.
Looks like he pooped his pants, doesn't want anyone to see and is running backwards to the bathroom.
😂
That's dedication is admirable
Busy Going Backwards
"I'm the Backwards Man the Backwards Man, the Backwards Man the Backwards Man. I can walk back as fast as you can, I can walk back as fast as you can. I'm the Backwards man the Backwards man."
Absolutely insane ❤
Let's see his backward high dive!
Impressive
Awesome!
he should get some head gear with small mirrors on it :)
those are life changing, I've used those before
Looking forward, looking back, I've come a long way down the track ~ Slim Dusty.
😮 ain't no way this a song
@@sandymakesplans don't know why but it was the first thought that came to mind when I saw this.
He’d break his record if he wore the shoes backwards too
It is not as hard as many think.
I am 76 with a bunch of health issues and run backward for decades as part of daily exercise, not a mile, of course. Notice that the left and right sideward run and on one lag run are a part of regular routine, and I'm likely the fastest man older 70.
This dudes backward mile pr time is still better than my pr mile time 😂
And I get ridiculed for just walking backwards on the treadmill at the gym!
I'd instantly think I'm in the matrix
I want someone to run the video backward.
Tried one myself 2 years ago
I like backwards backwards running
bro runs faster backwards than i do fowards
ready player one first race be like
I wonder if anyone is gonna try reversing this vid.
I wish Bill Hicks is still alive and see this.
it's quadriceps, with an 's' at the end, yes, even in the singular! not quadricep! (same goes for biceps and triceps, and triceratops for that matter)
ID on the sunglasses?
young Deion Sanders would've mopped the floor with this dude in a backwards race.
Guy needs a backup camera.
Backwards running is good for your knees
He would run even faster if he ran backwards in time!
As a Swede i wounder what this have to do with my ppl?
Interesting!
I have one question, Why?
8:19 fin.
His name is actually Redoy Noraa
Cool
"You got it backwards buddy." - He must ear this a lot. 😄
Looks like Bruce Lee in reverse
Wonder if brow practices on treadmill in his early days
Doubt it
Plot twist: he’s running forwards but the video is in reverse
I cant even walk backwards withour crashing 👣
why
New Olympic Category
Ah, this must where politicians learn to back peddle
Bruh is running backwards basically blind like he never heard of a mirror.
This activity begs for a special helmet to cushion the back of the head in case of a fall.
Backwards man backwards man
I'm not watching this whole thing, how fast is his normal mile time?
I'm sure I can run backwards faster than this guy, but I don't know that I can keep it up for 3 miles! I picked up the habit after reading that it's actually better for the knees, and it certainly does feel better!
Edit: ah he speeds up later in the vid
I ran a backwards mile in -7:00 minutes.
probs did this as a joke at first 😂
He should be wearing all his clothes backwards..
underrated comment 😂
oh
Why
But why?
How fast can’t he do it forward?
👍
Oh. 👍🙄
Pythonesque?
this might be mater
Tenet 😂
Weird flex but ok
When u can't beat them brothers you gotta try something new😂
to be completely honest, this feels a bit like an onion video
Free🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
indeed
If they agree to abolish Islam then I’ll say free Palestine. Im an exmuslim for clarity
@@HispanicatthediscoMTG Maybe if Christianity and Judaism are also abolished
Yes, but why here man ? No one's going to take this seriously on a video about a dude trying to run backwards.
Timber Justinlake
It all started with his gf having anger issues...
Is this a skit?😂
This could possibly be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
Dumb lol
First
I find this extremely ridiculous
What annoys me is he practices and this is a sport
Not sure which is a bigger waste of time. Running backwards or watching this video.
😂
