Kevin Michael Connolly

His parents enrolled him in gymnastics, and wrestling, which gave him the agility and upper body strength to flip himself onto counters and do handstands.

With the money from his X Games winnings, he took an 11-week international trip over summer break in 2007, through 15 countries, through New Zealand, Europe, Japan, and back to America.

He published the photos on a web site, called "The Rolling Exhibition.com"[3][5] Connolly's initial exhibit drew national media attention, garnering stories at CNET,[6] NPR,[7] the Washington Post,[8] and ABC's 20/20.

The resulting book, Double Take (HarperStudio – Oct 2009), was well received by critics and earned a starred review in Publishers Weekly.
