Aaron's Springboard Diving Freshman Year

[CDRofl]

you are too good....it makes me feel bead but then i think "ill do 305b on 3m instead yeah that'll show him" although you'll probably just do 307b. good luck in future world meets and the olympics!

[hyphyked]

[xstringtheman]

[lazrviper]

[divingfroggy12]

[MCSkatee]

this is like the epitomy of diving, amazing work man, good luck!

[beccajshane]

Dude nice diving man, definately got talent

[lazrviper]

thank you very much

[dive2live3]

soo. im not criticizing u cause ur freakin amazing.

but what is the hop u do before ur hurdle.

im only a middleschool diver but ive never seen that before.

please write back :)

[lazrviper]

it is a hurdle that i learned from Ken Terauchi a Japanese diver. So my coach and I decided that "sure why not it looks like it helps" so I started to do it. in the beginning it is weird but once you get the timing and balance with the board the height that you get out of the hurdle is pretty awesome. another US diver that does it is Jon Wilcox and his is a bit different then mine but it is the same concept. sorry it took so long to write back i havent looked at my youtube page for a while.

[savannahbama]

ur an amazing diver!! and u dive for the best school ever. its awesome that u know so much and ur so talented.

if u still dive for alabama i definitely wanna see u dive more!!

sorry it took so long to write back :)

[lazrviper]

that you. and its all good.

[savannahbama]

u should post another video of ur diving!!

[lazrviper]

when i get some more videos there will be more. i just have to get the videos first

[Kalluhr]

like the last dive ^^ Always at the end of my trainings, when i trained, i did "penguin" dives :D

[lazrviper]

lol i like that name, i call it a "sailor dive" but i would like to maybe use that terminology if that is all right with you.

[Emzigurl94]

Wow you're amazing!

[lazrviper]

thank you

[xohalicia]

Okay.

Not only is he fucking SEXY, he's an amazing diver, which makes him 9 millions times hotter.

Just sayin.

[LikeWOAHx88]

In the beginning are you diving at OSU?

[lazrviper]

i am at OSU pool around the 35 sec mark yes.

[psycoticpoo2121]

i hope to dive with/against you one day!!! you are AMAZING!! keep it up!!

[lazrviper]

sounds like a plan to me. And thank you. I will cont. as long as my body allows it and then maybe a little more so we shall see.

[volsrock49]

Hey, I give you props. Even though your 2 1/2 pike reverse is not perfect, all that other stuff I cannot even come close to. Great diving!

[IntenseDiver]

at 1:00 was that 2 twists or one twist?

[lazrviper]

2 twists

[DizBoyVin]

dam your good

this is really your freshman year?

[lazrviper]

yep, it really is. of college but yes i was a freshie then

[DizBoyVin]

oh hahaha that explains alot

i was like dam number 1 freshmen of nation...

lol xD

[lazrviper]

what do you mean number one freshman of the nation???? I havent heard of this anywhere

[DizBoyVin]

noo i thought if this was your freshman in high school

you wouldve been like the best of the nation

[lazrviper]

oooooooooooooooooo ok

[tbenjaminkx42]

yeah i am also trying the one without the hop but my hop still gets me sooo much more height.

[geislo3]

you're a very strong diver but lose the open palms on your approach i saw it on tower too point your toe hard in the hurdle i know what you are thinking ... lol my voluntaries were 8s + connect this with your optionals and you will see a huge difference

[lazrviper]

all righty ill keep that in mind thanks man

[tbenjaminkx42]

i honestly dont see how you didnt make it this yaert

[goodtimesroll101]

Were some of those at U of I?

[lazrviper]

I have been there but i am not quite sure what you are talking about.

[tacomaster11]

Wow that is amazing. I liked your 3 meter better ahaha. I am a complete novice. But your dives amaze me, I want to become better.

[bigquinnyg]

mmm that might mean i dont do it legally but ill find out pretty soon i guess

[lazrviper]

that may be true, but good luck i hope you are doing it right.

[lazrviper]

well, thank you first off. just keep at it. if you keep at it stuff will keep just start falling together one right after the other you just cant give up at it. If you like it and keep at it the sky is the limit. believe me the sky is the limit.

[bigquinnyg]

hey bro my front approach is really similar to yours, unfortunately im in a bad diving program at my high school without a coach, the approach can really give alot of height but it really scares me on my reverses judging on how far i lean back but im just looking for an opinion on someone who uses it well, and alot of people tell me its illegal but obviously not

[lazrviper]

when ever doing this hurdle you always want to feel like you are right on top of your legs(more for reverses) or slightly forward (more for fronts), You really want to avoid leaning back at all. Some people just dont like the hurdle, i dont know, Im actually playing with both types of hurdles right now, (one with and without the hop.) (is there no clubs around where you live?)

[bigquinnyg]

there are a few but they take it more seriously then i want to as much as i love the sport,but ya i was diving today and people were telling me its illegal because its a double bounce but none of them are refs or coaches so i dont stress on it too much

[lazrviper]

well i know its legal, you just have to be careful how you do it.

[sjopostit91]

awesome diving bro

I dive in high school and was wondering

how you go about getting colleges to notice

you

do you send in videos or what

[lazrviper]

that is exactly what you want to do

[Sabredivr104c]

Are you going to the National diving meet or something at the U of M aquatic center in minnesota, if you are im coming to watch.

[BPColin]

haha loved the 2.5 header at the end.

[ERockk911]

shit thats incredible. You're by far the coolest diver to watch your dives are so sick. Love the 305b on 1m and the 5154 on 3m. Good luck at olympics!

[lazrviper]

Thank you! That is awesome to hear, Thank You :)

[Rackethead]

Awesome dives...And my approach is the same...I feel I get more jump out of it...VERY NICE DIVES!!!...Wat university are you diving for?

[lazrviper]

bama

[candiessmile111]

my God your good. you have a wierd approach tho!!

[Sabredivr104c]

are you a freshman in college or highschool

[lazrviper]

college

[Sabredivr104c]

i was going to say if you were in high school, that would just be plain out wrong! Your a great diver, keep it up

[Y2Kyle10]

you might be my new favorite diver...niiiiice stuff

[lazrviper]

Thank You!

[Y2Kyle10]

Dude at 2:04 you come out at about 1 summi and u still drill the sh*t outta the dive...

we going to see your sophomore year?

[lazrviper]

There is a good chance you will. I will start working on one at the end of the season.

[Y2Kyle10]

Very Nice looking foward to it...

[Sabredivr104c]

dam straight same here

[collinthekid2]

why havent you been to senior nationals?

[lazrviper]

i was at spring nats. but didnt have the money to go to summers.

[Sabredivr104c]

hhhmmmm well that beats me! that was amazing

[bobertbeej2010]

those are real nice have you dived before i just got 305c and it is a bitch i have trouble with 303b and yours looks nice with the long fall

[theTrieuTH]

Good ass diving. Saw the footage at the U of M and I'm in Minnesota too. I kinda hope u graduated last year, cause I'm a senior and i rather not dive against you at state haha. Nice hurdle too, your hop is crazy but its definitely working. Good Luck

[onlyONEroy]

aaron, i love the way you power off the boards. your back entries are very good. if you could line your arms up on your front entries you'll be alot cleaner. you go for 2012 man, you could make it, just keep working at it.

[collinthekid2]

sorry, i meant 2012 lol

[collinthekid2]

are you trying for 08?

[lazrviper]

believe me im gonna do my best to try and go to 08, that isnt outta my current goal set but yes i am also wanting to go to 2012. I dont wanna think that 08 is outta my reach i will fight with all of my heart to try and get there, but right now only time will tell.

[moregooder101]

hey a friend was telling me you did 307b on 3m at the ohio state invite... do you happen to have that dive on tape? i'd love to see that one...

[lazrviper]

There is a possibility. We shall see......

[lazrviper]

i have to get the video first

[apscaguy]

dude, i don't know who you are but i haven't seen an original style like that in a VERY long time . . . that guy was right -- keep your head in the pike a bit (just a bit) longer...meanwhile - i see a grand future for you...

[implosion12]

my friend did the exact same thing on his reverse 2 and a half the other night and was four points away from the school record

[collinthekid2]

where do you go to college?

[drosmoke14]

hey man .. love the vid.. whats the name for ur approach.. isnt it a texas somehting or sum shit like that?

[onlyONEroy]

his hurdle looks alot like australian jenny donnet. she was a 4 time olympian 80 84 88 & 92. its a very powerful takeoff but needs excellent balance. this dude has it perfect.

[lazrviper]

it is amazing

[Peyton568]

Not too bad, diving's pretty much been kickin my ass the past couple of weeks

[Peyton568]

Hey man its Peyton Thomas from texas what's up! Looks like ya had a pretty good freshman year, lol, still kickin ass I imagine

[lazrviper]

hey man, ya it pretty good, im doin my best to. How have you been?

[icefairy17]

Beautiful twisters! And your 303B is awesome! Can't wait to see you get that 305! =)

[lazrviper]

Thank You! Well with the my 305s were going today at practice You wont have to wait too long just got to get it on video. :)

[kengholdt]

If you want to put down the 305B on 1M, get your head down in the pike. Your head is up and your pulling it. Tighten up your center of gravity (head down) and smoke it! Best of luck! - Retired College Diver and Professional High Diver

[tehnoah]

nice vid bro :)

You are a sophomore next year for alabama?

[lazrviper]

thanks thats what ill be.

[wobbyld]

I wish i could be half as good as you. VERY nice!

[SeeeDubz]

Wow, that is some incredible diving. Very impressive.

[lighthouseg]

Awesome video.  Can't wait to see you nail that 305B on 1m.

[SlickRick4EVER]
