172' High Dive

[FROGMAN524]

Won't catch me jumping off anything over 40'. Anybody try this kind of thing? I'm sure there are a lot of places on Powell to do it and maybe even Mead.

Nope. Not even gonna watch the video.

 

[Rayson1971]

Pretty crazy but I thought a dive was head first and a jump was feet first.

 

[92562]

What the hell kind of judge gives him a 4.5! I give him a 10 just for standing on the platform!!!

I think he started it head first, then flipped, I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a dive.

 

[brianwhiteboy]

That’s a solid NO.

Even if I made it up that skinny ass ladder, which i wouldn’t have, there’s no way in hell I could’ve stepped on or turned around on that tiny platform.

 

[liquid addiction]

Hell no!! Made my shit tickle just watching him stand on the platform.

 

[spectras only]

The 4.5 judge should have climbed up the tower, and show what a perfect score looks like

We had a thread on here while back about places & heights we'd all jumped when younger and the busted eardrums, backs etc.....

 

[Danger Dave]

At what height does it become a failed suicide attempt?

 

[boatdoc55]

For me, 4'!!!

 

[Beerme]

Wow! That's insane!

 

[TrollerDave]

I would have done a cannonball.

I like how the camera started out zoomed in on him on the platform. And then zoomed out, zoomed out further, kept zooming and then you see the how high he really is.

 

[evantwheeler]

How do you go through all that effort and risk, just to attempt to TIE the world record? Why not try and make a new record?

No shit! At that height, what's a couple more feet.

 

[buck35]

I'm thinking he got a serious power enima on that landing... No idea how I can surmise this though. Ouch!

 

[67Charger]

...all he had to do was stand on a sheet of paper on the platform to have technically been the new record holder...

 

[C-Ya]

I would have been racing my turd down to the pool......

 

[highvoltagehands]

I used to “send it” off some pretty big stuff(2 places are in this video). But I Never had great balance like todays kids, so I didn’t do flips or dives, just jumps. This video will pucker you up....

I wonder how the judges scored his jump.

 

[Joe mama]

Definitely not for the average Joe.

 

[Taboma]

I wonder how the judges scored his jump.

Officially this was discounted as being a jump, not a dive. Was traveling in excess of 72 MPH when he contacted the not so soft water and just SLIGHTLY dislocated his hip.

That was incredibly uncomfortable to watch.....

After watching this I have come to the realization I have ZERO athletic abilities and am a 100% certified PUSSY. Good god,these dudes are insane.

Yeah, but would they have the balls to ride in a K-bote ?

I got to 49 seconds and had to turn it off!! That kind of stuff scares the living crap out of me!!! Now, put me in the seat of a 100MPH+ boat,

 

[aka619er]

I love the commentary. 2nd person to ever jump from that height. You have now moved into 2nd place in points.

 

[DRYHEAT]

Dig the music on that one.

 

[propcheck]

Not just NO but HELL NO. That is crazy.

 

[Wheeler]

Right out of a '70's sit com ...Barney Miller?

 

[Ziggy]

Hell, I don't even jump off my boat anymore.

 

[boatdoc55]

Hell, I don't even jump off my boat anymore.

Has nuttin to do with jumping out of the boat BUT as a buddy and I were sitting in our chairs in our favorite cove watching the wives float around on their floaty things I got to thinking about getting back IN the boat after jumping in, in deep water (this is prior to the toon). After a couple seconds I asked Jim about it. We both sat there in bewilderment and both came up with a positive FUCK NO!!! Too much cantilever over the dick!!!

 

[highvoltagehands]

Check it out from this view.....Yikes....
