“People will always have something to say about my flips, but guess what…I’m not stopping!! In fact, all the negativity gives me the motivation to keep going and challenges me to go above and beyond at every flip,” he writes in the caption.

“Can we get more Christina, his shows don’t make any sense lol,” the comment reads.

“We’re doing just that on season 2! Can’t wait to show you what’s up our sleeves this season. 👏”
