YouTube Stuntman AZO Releases His 2011 Showreel, Will Blow Your Mind (VIDEO)

Aung Zaw Oo - aka AZO - is an animator. That's right, an animator. An animator for computer games who happens to be a jaw-droppingly good stuntman / performer in his free time.

When he's not bringing characters to life on Xbox Live Arcade games like Monday Night Combat, Azo likes to backflip off walls, play keepy uppy, perform fan tricks and go free-running.

When he's not doing that, he likes to execute incredibly complicated skateboard tricks, pull off insane diabolo moves and lob chopsticks into walls with alarming accuracy.

In other words: he's some kind of superhero.

A living, breathing, walking, talking superhero who makes everyone who knows him feels like a total slacker. He's not even a professional stuntman! He makes computer games! This is insane!

Every year, AZO releases a new YouTube video displaying just what he's been up to (in his free time) over the past 12 months. Today, it's 2011's turn.

The 2011 edition includes such spectacular moves as riding a (statue of a) bear whilst using a diabolo and juggling at the same time. Then there's the moment where he performs five finger fillet trick... whilst performing a one-handed handstand.

It has to be seen to be believed, honestly.

And once you've watched his latest showreel (above) check out this YouTube gallery of his finest moments ever (below). You won't be disappointed...

I'd tell you all about me if you were my friend.

Thousands of hours, - dedication - perseverance. Yup I get it. Impressive commitment. I am impressed, even if I could watch the who presentation.

But I reckon for the equivalent output he could be a Doctor or an Engineer by now - instead of a fleeting flash in the pan.

Show off!

What a variety of physical ability.

I know these teenagers here near me who holler and scream and curse barely riding their skateboards, like they are the big cheese. They should see this guy and shut up. Or maybe make some effort concentrate and improve.

Azo is an example to us lesser mortals to learn to tap dance or something. I should learn to play the accordion! It was just great!
