IShowSpeed attempts backflip on glass rooftop during Panama stream
YOUTUBE: IShowSpeedYouTube star IShowSpeed pulled off a daring backflip on a glass rooftop, just days after risking his life performing it on the “Hand of God.”
During a January 18 livestream, IShowSpeed performed his signature backflip while streaming live in Panama. The 19-year-old content creator is currently on an IRL tour across South America, with recent stops including Guatemala, Colombia, and Ecuador.
His backflip in Panama came with a daring twist, as it was performed on a rooftop with a glass floor. After his first attempt, Speed, clearly unsatisfied, could be heard saying: “Oh! Nah, that was a bad one. That was a bad one. So, I’m scared a little bit. Alright? Let’s go for real.”
Determined, he gave it another shot and nailed the move, finally content with his performance. Peering down from the lofty rooftop, he caught sight of fans cheering him on from the street below.

Others were impressed by the backflip, with one writing, “Bro is the definition of a jack of all trades,” and another commenting, “THE MASTER OF THE BACKFLIP!!!”
