Try Amazon. This one is called Beneath the suit. I'm sure Thorpe has an official website. Try there also.

you know what, you're right. ian thorpe is slo off the wall in practice, he probably couldn't medal in the olympics.

wait...

Thanks a lot for the video, MaestroSacarias.

@willski1221 You realize that it takes him less than a second to flip and push off...If you're turns are faster than that and you can't make nationals you need to work on your actual stroke technique

Why is he not looking down? that really anoys me

[laluna78]

From 0:20 to 0:22, it's the real unedited speed, it's less than 1 second in doing that turn and it's fast. The rest of the video, seems to be in slow motion.

[willski1221]

@friendmeph I never said that. I originally said I would like to see his race pace turns. This is obviously slow, as I can do faster walls than this and I'm only decent.

[willski1221]

I realize that it's slow motion at around 0:26.

I'm talking about at 0:21. He is slow off the wall, it's not race pace. My turns are way faster than that and I can't even make national cuts.

[junkevin]

um it was in slow motion. when he does it normally..you can't go faster off than that

[filoobidoo]

he's flipping and turning at the same time. as in, flipping to his stomach and turning (flip turning) at the same time
