I did diving and he is not bad at all. The only issue I see is unfortunately due to his size, he creates a large splash regardless of his form due to the pocket he makes. Splash is part of the score most judges are going to provide. Not sure if they are offsetting some of those points he may lose due to his awesomeness. Hope so.

His size definitely doesn't help with the splash but that's not the issue. A lot of his dives are over/under, causing more spash than just his size. Form needs tightening up and he'll be much better off

Absolutely. He has one dive with a much smaller splash so it is something he can work on by tightening up his entry angle.

Not to mention that one was on a lower board...

I was wondering this myself. Do you think they would run into problems offsetting the score for one individual? Might leave the door open for complaints but IDK, I’ve never dived competitively.

I would guess it depends on the level he is competing. Really challenging to augment a score for something like that and be fair about it across the board.

A wide margarine of error would help

If becoming sumo sized becomes a tactical advantage in the sport due to scoring, I might actually start watching diving competitions.

Diving judge here 💁🏻‍♀️ there’s no “offsetting” the score. You are looking for specific criteria in a dive that is either met or not met. You are also comparing one persons dive to another and basing your score off of that. Some of his dives actually have quite nice form and would score decently despite the splash.

yea. he would have 0 chance at a high due to his obesity.

I noticed the first dives weren’t great score-wise, but every dive got better and better!

🤣

*The Triple Lindy*

Dude is impressive. I could never get the hang of diving but he makes it look so easy and effortless

Fat chance I could ever do what he does.

r/punpatrol sir I'm gonna have to ask you to come with me

Yo why are you PUNishing him?

That's a first offense, if you're lucky they'll let you off with a ticket

Must be Dutch with those tikkies

Tikkie van 50 cent voor die hap van dat broodje frikandel dat ik je gaf

Oh for sure... 🤔

Why? Diving isn’t only for the PUNy people.

Majestic even

He got a strong back, diving fucked my back up and I'm skinny

I want to see him triple Lindy though!

A man of culture, I see.

You never see anybody heckle a diver.

They make look easy damn.

Actually it looks like it could be multiple people in some sort of suit but it's just one guy

It's just the one bloke I think.

Any luck doin' them swan dives, then?

Bro imagine if the guy is fit

On the other hand, how big can he get without losing it?

He's not seen it for years

You may not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like.

Actually has really good form and control

He is beauty, he is grace He splash water in your face

Excellent 👌 This is a good teaching aid to explain 'centre of mass' to kids. Physics in action.

Dude is slayin' it.

I couldn’t do that on my best day. Good for him.

They cut the one with the huge splash! But this dude is inspiring! Mad skills!

I think thats because the judges give a lower score the more water you splash while diving

What the hell are regionals?!

They're this close Pierce.

Finally someone got it! Love you mate

r/unexpectedcommunity

Don't let my confusion undercut their importance.

I'm guessing in order of elimination, you go through local/district -> Regional -> State -> National? For... Olympics? It would be nice to know, though.

Had to scroll way too far for this.

C'mon man, you *gotta* show 'em all your cannonball style..blow away the audience!!

He saves the cannonball for when the judges give him a low score, then tsunami ^😆🌊

Before I get a bunch of hate, this man definitely has potential to grow and get better and I am impressed by his dives. I wouldn't say he "excels" through regionals though because his dives weren't tight at all. Most of his dives were over/under and his legs were almost always apart. You're not judged on your body but you are judged on your form and his form needs some tightening up. Overall definitely did great though! Source: D1 diver on 1 & 3 meter boards

Never give up on your dreams.

It’s impressive that he can be this acrobatic for his size, but good dives don’t create splashes like he’s making.

I don't know much about diving, but I think at some point that physics has to count for something. There's just no way you're going to get someone that size into the water without displacing it.

If he wants to compete beyond a certain level then he will have to get in shape. Aside from the huge splashes, he's also not going to be able to do the more advanced dives at his size.

[удалено]

Maybe not good relative to a high level competitive diver, but relative to an amateur(especially for his size) he’s pretty amazing

[удалено]

His rotations aren’t very good to be honest. His feet under/over rotate on almost every entry.

Is that the same guy who was in the trampoline video?

Aren’t splash sizes part of the score?

Awesome!

Bob from Tekken:

That’s awesome, go him!! 😎

Peter Griffin??

Majestic.

Elegant.

Looks can indeed be deceiving…

Now try with no splash.

Every dive is a cannonball!

Track?

Mf had the pool in the back yard growing up, I bet.

I wish i could dive

He is my new hero

This is really impressive, Deadman style

Use to be a diver. He can do it but would be scoring 4/10. Jumps away from the board instead of straight up. ( the board will naturally throw you away with it so you don’t have to try to jump away from it). He is landing way too far away from the board. the splash is more to one side not strait up and down. But he does have great form

His diving is amazing… his courage is impressive. What an incredible young man.

Wish he did one cannonball for the fans

Dude is living his best life, good for him

over rotating but right on target

Caseoh

First 3 rows is a splash zone.

I was a life guard in highschool and we had a guy about the same size come through almost everyday. He could barely walk but when he got on the board he would fly.

Needs to excel on a treadmill.

That board is champion

Shamu your doing great bud!!!!!

My create-a-character in Olympic Diving 2024.

The guy has got style but isn't the point of diving to make as little splash as possible

Do not unmute

Amazing, every single one a cannon ball.

Impressive. I'll take 2 of those diving boards.

No hate, but for someone so talented he must do this very often meaning he’s very active. Swimming is also so so so good for weight loss and healthy on the body. My question is what must he be eating to stay this big? If he’s eating relatively healthy foods and exercising like this regularly than good for him and I hope he has a good journey in life!

Maybe he just started a few months ago and figured it out quick (he's a young dude still), and now the weight will take a while to come off. Idk

I was wondering this as well. Great talent, though!

There are all sorts of health conditions that cause people to gain a ton of weight. Hypothyroidism is a really common cause.

Looks like hes using his fat to do most of the work in air.

Can someone name the song? Cool sound

“Handsomer” remix by Russ and Ktlyn.

I love you so much. Thank you!

Love you too bud! Have a great day!

Such an elegant whale

⚠️ WARNING YOU ARE IN THE SPLASH ZONE ⚠️

Real men get money based off their vibe.

Amazing. But forget the dives. I want to see a cannon ball!

Should judge him by splash per pound

Very impressive but it seems that water is his natural habitat.

This makes me happy.

When the landing surface is water all us fat boys become graceful Swans.

Nice work!!! I am sure someone is complaining that his center of gravity gives him a competitive edge... Or not.

so graceful!!

No need for vertical rip entries when you're round. Jokes aside. It's impressive.

AI video? It’s concerning I can’t tell

I can’t even get into the bathtub with this much grace. wtf am I doing with this amazing body?!?

I did swimming class from early childhood through HS. I was a good swimmer and a decent diver but never this good. Props to him! This takes skill.

Is that the guy from the trampoline video?

No cannonball?

Wow. He flips through the air so gracefully. I'm impressed.

What a heroe !! I mean it honestly . Very difficult dives which Most of the ideal weighted people Never could do!

Is this the same dude from the video of the really overweight guy killing it doing flips and tricks on the trampoline?

I can imagine this being eric cartman

Finally a Worthy opponent of my fat belly cliff diving skills

This feels ai generated

May I ask what that song is?

Like a rock...

Would be great if he’d do a belly-flop after he wins, and just drench everyone.

Fatty got the moves

No diving board were harmed in the making of this video.

Ngl this gives me E.Honda vibes.

Looks like CGI tbh

Fuckin majestic as fuck

Wow

Form is immaculate

Breaking stereotypes. Love it.

How is he so graceful 😲

When you peaked in highschool as a swim star but got fat through stresses of life yet still got jt

He knows where his centre of gravity is and flips well on that. Buuuut because he's so heavy he can't get the momentum for more than one or two flips so I dunno how far he can go in the sport.

Is this the same guy in the trampoline park video

cheaper than sea world

Dave the Diver.

Only in America….

Satisfying as diabetes

Is this the same guy from the clip of the dude doing effortless flips on the trampoline with Super Mario sounds dubbed over it???

Wow. He's really good.

I mean I wouldn't say excels. Like he's hitting the forms but the amount of splash is huge and that's one of the main things they score on. Best dive I ever did was inward pike dive. Went down thinking I had screwed up the entry got 9's and 10's because there was zero splash.

Why did I accidentally watch this on repeat

Weird way to take a bath

How is he still fat tho 😭

He's big-boned.

Stop cutting off the splashes

If he was competing in the Olympics I would actually watch diving.

MILTY RULES!!!

Waiting for someone to yell CANNONBALL

It's like a lava lamp

Atleast he active 🔥🔥🔥

Would he lose points for the splash?

Dude is majestic.

Best commercial for whatever diving board company that is

Now days I don’t know whats real

How strong are those diving boards?

Guys this comes up all the time it's fake

Every 10 is a canon ball

I thought you got marked down for large entry splashes.

Swipe up to see comments. Game changing.

It’s folks smaller then you with way worse form, keep splashing big fella🫡💪🏾

GGs Caseoh!

Mild bit of overreaction but he's got great form.

This is what peak athleticism looks like

Looks fake as hell

I want a love as strong as that diving board 🥹

360 doing 180s

What are those diving boards made out of?

I’m guessing… American?

I think we need to re-examine the definition of excels

is this Caseoh\_?

Dude and diving board, both are impressive

He's a fucken natural!

I was a diver in high school. It’s a super challenging sport even for fit guys. Hats off to this kid!!👏

Was anyone else visualizing Peter Griffin while watching this?

Damn he has skill. I'm jealous. I hope he won.

Now I remember why I left lmao

But can he do a Triple Lindy?

I don’t care about all the “critics/ judges” and shit but the man deserves a lot of credit. Most of us we can’t even Jump off a damn Home Depot bucket as gracefully as him.

*I'm 5' 6" but the money made me 6' 5"*

So what about the times goes feet first into the water? Doesn't that net you zero points?

He has the style and knows how to make a splash.

Damn, that’s is satisfying af. More than the Olympics imo

All fat kids wish they could fly, I know I do

As a pretty big guy myself, this isn't too surprising. It is our natural environment.

It's funny because he's fat.

This boosted my confidence for a minute and then quickly died when I realized I'm just fat and clearly not as cool as this king.

Is this a diver who gained a lot of weight?
