lol who made the title?

its a double front half twist.

thus a 5141 not 5163. because that would be a triple front with 1.5 twists.

@skaterfugater there is more than one dive in this video... Gary Hunt made the title...

[cas84utd]

The person is splashing at the water at the bottom so that Gary can see exactly where the water is during the middle of the jump... it allows him to time his entry into the water better.

[cas84utd]

It's not all the same jump... unless you are stupid you can clearly see that some are forward and some are reverse... and with different amount of twists / rotation... are you all blind?

whaaat tht pool is awesome :D

[innit27]

cant be many places u can practice this. how deep is the pool?

i did my first 3m dive today. Only 15m more to go. Its the climb up those little ladders that would unnerve me more than the jump i think.

@diverjohn46 thanks that makes more sense. I wasnt trying to discredit his skills or anything because I dont think I could do that unless I practiced for little while

[diverjohn46]

@MrMaxiking888 No, that learning to high dive - he was already an accomplished highboard diver at the Olympic height of 10 metres. He's learning to take dives from 10m up higher. This itself is a low level lead up to the competitive level of 27 metres.......

[diverjohn46]

@jarjar952 Good point, the red bull series is from 27 metres (about 90 feet!) and the velocity is about 57mph when you hit - though if you are spinning to that goes up due to momentum from rotation!! You really really dont want to get it wrong from up there! 10m is bad enough!

[diverjohn46]

@TheZohaun Diving is when you do anything more than a half somersault. 1/2 somersault is a 'dive', no somersault is a 'jump'. if you do 4 somersaults you go in feet first, but that's not a jump!!. Most pools would not let you do a single somersault and go in feet first, same as they wouldn't let you 'dive'

Most diving competitions have head first as it is a better thing to see, but you can do feet first entries as long as you do more than 1/2 somersault.
