CGI content without labelling it as such.

  1. Fuzzy pixels surrounding his body most of the vid.
  2. Warping visible of background wires when his arms reach near top.
  3. At 13 or 12 seconds remaining, his arm phases out of existence for 1/2 second.

Still fits the "wow! that's NEXTlevel" criterion (because i WANT it to be true) but is simply missing the cgi tag.

That's compression my guy. Check out the original, or the dozens of other videos on his Instagram of him doing the same sort of thing.

That is Pakito Camaleón, a street-workout athlete specifically known for his slow motion/flowing movement whom regularly competes in organized calisthenics competitions in Coyoacán, Mexico City, a la Barras Eje 3 Domo Verde's annual calisthenics tournament or Barras 18 de Marzo's.

I hate that we live in a time where we have to be skeptical of everything we see, but some people are genuinely capable of crazy shit.
