Next time we do a guard pass drill in class I'm gonna hit that cart-wheel! (we'll probably just fall on my face, but it be entertaining for everyone else!)

jones has some SKINNY ass legs so not surprised if they're in the same weight but it also could be an absolute tourney in which anyone in any weight can compete

which referee would give points for a back take when the opponent doesn't even have hooks in. Turtle=NO POINTS always  

Still cool to see how he has progressed to where he is now. his wrestling translates very well. didn't look very comfortable off his back though

+1 I saw this video like a year ago and thought it was awesome.Jones progression is amazing.

The cartwheel pass is pretty cool looking but isn't anything special.I'm sure you could pull it off @SK.

Edit:Just realized someone bumped this and it's really old lol.

SK,Did you try it?
