Can you do a running flip?

I'm looking for someone in the SF Bay Area who can do some type of running flip (front flip, side flip, aerial cartwheel, etc.). In all transparency, I'm a climber but my day job is advertising. And one of the projects in the works is a quick cinemagraph of someone doing a running flip. This will be posted to social media (FB, IG, TW). I'm on a pretty scrappy team here, so we only have $100 bucks to offer.

The end result will look something like this (but a flip): instagram.com/p/BFUCcxuOiOc/

Anybody interested, please PM me. Thanks!

Does it have to be done in neo-Edwardian attire?

Sorry, I can only do a back handspring in to a back twist/flip. I never mastered the front flip unfortunately.

Deal. $1,000 it is. Let me know when you get out of the hospital for those concussions from trying to learn how to do one.

haha only if you can get your pants to fly off mid-flip like that first dude.

Any fun tattoos on your butt? That earns an extra $50.

That's pretty sweet!

Ok but for reals, are you in the area and can you do a running flip of some sort? And are you willing to do it on camera for $100?

There has to be a parkour website out there full of people who can do this for you.

Yeah, there are some gyms in the area for that, that I've reached out to. I figured I'd cover my bases and post here as well. :)
