Brandon Dierich, 18 years old, practices his running back-flips off a tree. Dierich first learned his back-flip technique off a swimming pool diving board before taking to the land where he wins bets from friends doing back-flips by running up and off of vertical objects. He's even been known to drop a hat on the ground to encourage donations.Edmonton Sun Photo by Aaron Whitfield
