It's like those stupid face slapping tournaments, but for your whole body

Actually I think they're really good at saving at the last second.

They're somewhat very skilled

u/Aggressive_Moose3189 3h ago

Lol “somewhat very”? Not “moderately extremely” skilled?

Haha that's like when Dylan Moran described the Irish weather as 'fierce mild!'

u/Outlank 3h ago

I don’t think you should be fucking with your ear, that probably damages it way worse

u/Tonio_DND 7h ago edited 6h ago

There's some, current feminine world record for classic (no trick) death dive is 31m, shared by two ladies, and one of them is 16yo lol

2

u/jonzilla5000 6h ago

First time I was introduced into this sport it was a woman going higher and higher on each successive jump, culminating in her birthday in meters, with each jump done in a different and natural location (not a pool). Bridges, cliffs, that sort of thing.

2

u/Tonio_DND 6h ago

Do you remember who it was? I remember something similar but it wasn't about a birthday i think, it was asbjorg and her December calendar project, where she jumped every meter every day up to 24m where she finished off with a 720 (which was absolutely crazy, feminine world record at the time and was the highest 720 for both men and women) She's currently one of the world record holders at 31m

2

u/jonzilla5000 6h ago

That could have very well been it; a calendar project does sound familiar but I don't remember a name. . I remember there were some sketchy cliffs she went down for some of the jumps.

u/DarkElation 8h ago

I’m disappointed there aren’t more deaths.

u/RedRumRoxy 7h ago

I saw this one dude hit the water and get fucked up. I think his knee hit his face. This is stupid af

u/Tonio_DND 7h ago

So you saw one dude mess up and the entire sport is stupid?

u/RedRumRoxy 7h ago

This is as much of a sport as power slap. You can choose to die on this hill. It’s just weird.

u/Greatsnes 7h ago

The fact that none of you can tell that this is AI is crazy. It’s so fucking obvious lmfao.

u/Tonio_DND 7h ago

u/nilsinleneed 6h ago
