Tarek El Moussamight want to stick to house flips instead of backflips.
In anInstagram Reelposted on Saturday, theFlipping El Moussasstar, 42, attempted to do a backflip after his two older kids — daughter Taylor, 12, and son Brayden, 8 — challenged him.
“Your dad’s turning 42 years old. You guys still think I can do a backflip?” Tarek asks his kids in the video, to which Brayden responds, “Prove it.”
“Dad, you’re taking forever!” Brayden continues as his dad tries to muster up the courage for the big flip. When he finally goes for it, Tarek first sticks the landing then loses his balance and flails backward into the framing for the safety net and then onto the metal springs at the edge of the trampoline.
“At 42… I don’t think I’ll be doing another backflip for a LONG time🤣 I can’t believe I really thought I’d nail it on the first try.. actually I almost did! But…. I landed on the metal bar the first time,” Tarek wrote in the caption.
He continued: “Sometimes, I forget I’m not 20 and invincible anymore🤷🏻♂️ Of course Tay and Bray were laughing their butts off! But… I didn’t quit and landed the second flip! Anyone else’s kids always keep them humbled too???”
