Review

In 1996, a memo went out to all NBC cameramen at the Barcelona Olympics ordering them to shoot male swimmers only from the waist up. It seems that during the Atlanta games, a lot of TV viewers were offended by the obvious sight of the athletes’ genitals straining against their Speedos.

Thankfully, Steve Kiraly doesn’t have such qualms. In Backflip he shows us fourteen glorious swimmers in the skimpiest of blue bikinis - for about five minutes. The rest of the time the briefs are off, so we can see exactly what had scared all those couch potatoes. Now this is "must-see" TV!

The intro is a crotch-stiffening fantasy set-up. Members of a swim team greet each other in a gym lobby and head to the locker room to change for practice - and yes, we do see them pack themselves into place. These guys are incredible - all lean muscled young males just entering into adulthood, dripping in uncut cockiness. They are also fresh off the tree - five guys make their debuts, and most of the rest have made at most three other videos.

After a good workout, most of the team heads to the showers, leaving behind Danno Alecs, Robert Zsilak, Lajos Anfort and Mihal Laszlo to fool around in the pool. Eventually cocks spring out of Speedos and into mouths - Anfort’s into Laszlo and Zsilak’s into Alecs. Danno may be the video’s cover man, but Laszlo is the star here, as he next lines up the other three and sucks them in turn.

Having gotten his fill in one end, Laszlo gets on all fours and takes them up the other end: Zsilak, then Alecs, then Anfort. As each guy takes his turn, the other two stand behind them kissing and jerking each other off. Laszlo takes this Hungarian gang-bang in stride, especially from Anfort who gives him the hardest pounding. The three tops shoot on the bottom’s chest, who adds his own jizm to theirs.

Back in the locker room, a beefy Miklos Orosz heads into the shower room, where he finds Jose Ganatti and Joe Calderon in serious make-out mode. All three are magnificently hung and as Orosz starts to jerk off, the other two suck face and fondle cocks. Ganatti then kneels down for some lengthy dick-worship. These two gents are experienced performers: Ganatti was in Out of Athens and Calderon is a Kiraly favorite, so we see a first-rate blowjob.

Joe pulls Jose up and shoves him against the wall for the most aggressive fuck of the film, as top and bottom push into each other. Calderon then gets on the floor so Ganatti can impale himself on that very juicy European Pole. All the time Orosz is furiously beating his meat, and all three shoot copious loads. As the voyeur walks away, the two sex-fiends do some final tongue-fucking.

The third scene is another duo, between the very sexy Martin Hubai and the swarthier John Valko. They begin with a sensuous 69 that is the only the only pairing in the video where both partners go oral. Valko’s frankly better at it than Hubai (see below), but it’s still gratifying to see two men service each other. Another standing fuck follows, followed by another squat fuck, but this one’s more deliberate, less frenzied than before. Valko doesn’t rock into Hubai, but he still lets Hubai get all the way in his naturally hairy ass (something we don’t normally see in Falcon models). All the while, both men work up a sweat, making their skins glisten in the light.

The final scene is by the pool with six guys in three pairs, so it isn’t exactly an orgy. What it is, is a fabulous documentation on the art of fucking, as each pair demonstrates a different position: Hubai bends over the very young-looking Daniel Kriley for a doggie-style fuck; hairy hunk George Vidanov (a true pro with over a dozen credits) straddles the cock of open-faced Antal Reczi; and darkman Marko Balazs lies on his side and raises his leg to give long-haired Peter Bodanszky a full-access fuck from behind.

The camerawork is superb, as it glides from one penetration to another, giving us both sizzling wide-shot panoramas and heart-stopping close-ups. There are no changes in position, but because the camerawork is so smooth, and the men are so enthusiastic, you never get bored. Vidanov plays to the camera the best, and at one time leans back so he can kiss Kriley. And in a deliciously naughty touch, behind all this free-wheeling sodomy is a giant banner for international sports timekeeper Peugot Fabian. I wonder how much they paid for that product placement!

As with so many European videos, the only real drawback of Backflip are the blow-jobs. For some reason Europeans simply are not good cocksuckers; they swallow just the head and stroke the shaft. Come on USA - we’ve taught the world how to play baseball, drive pick-ups and eat Big Macs. Isn’t it time we show them how to suck cock? Uncle Sam needs you!
