Cancer Claims Man's Leg, Doesn't Stop Him From Doing Backflips (VIDEO)

Most people can't do a backflip with two legs.

Adam Starr, a 21-year-old cancer survivor, posted the video below to his YouTube profile, and he will blow you away as he flips all over the place. But surviving cancer is only half of it. Adam lost his leg to the disease.

The video below is Adam's first time back in the gym since the amputation in 2009.

Undoubtably, Adam is an inspiration for overcoming adversity and getting back into the swing of things after such a traumatic experience.

He's a DOLL! And every person who sees him in the gym may not realize it, but they have received a lesson in spirit and perseverance.

Adam is also a very good diver and was competing in college before cancer took his leg. He is a positive influence on everyone who is fortunate enough to know him.

Man, that was so cool. I have always admired gymnasts for their strength, grace & poise, but this guy was the best. I have 2 legs and 2 arms but feel rather inferior. Good show, Bud!

Take that cancer. We laugh at your silly attempts to stop us.
