: once this used to be called Gymnastics.

It looks like a mixture of gymnastics and martial arts in one. A lot of tumbling routines. I wish I could do it.

Yeah, more martial arts involved it looks like to me.

Pretty cool, don't really see a point to it though other than jumping around lots =P

Hi, I am new to this turbo game can someone explain about an exhaust system for xr6 turbo utes and sedans from a mob called C E S racing systems in QLD. They claim 244.5kwr bolt on with no other mods, no ECU tuning, no boost increases running with C>E>S racing twin dump pipes and aftermarket exhaust systems 3.5 inch.(41+kw @wheels. What are your thoughts on this?

I like watching it because I envy them. I wish I had the strength and stamina to be able to pull off those moves.
