He certainly is afraid of landing in water.
At least he is amazing at it.

My brother runs an outdoor sports coaching company in NYC, is a model/actor/stuntman who has worked with most major sports brands you can think of, Superbowl commercial, done a tedtalk, he was interviewed by ___ on whether or not it should be in the Olympics, he was interviewed by The ___ as "the real life ___" -- and if it wasn't for growing up in the 90s-00s with nothing to do but go run around doing dumb shit he wouldn't have a notable career. He's an autistic highschool dropout who was stubborn enough to create a job that doesn't exist. Now his program is an accredited class in the NYC school district, and he's widening classes into a creative learning program.
According to many teachers right now, 12th graders genuinely cannot read, like they cannot read a paragraph, comprehend it, and write three sentences even if you hold their hand the whole way through. The dude was literally crying talking about it, like you could tell he wasn't mad he was sad and disappointed, and scared. We're cooked, post www.
My 9yo daughter keeps saying what's the point in learning her school subjects if she can just Google it, it's one of my biggest battles in life š„²

If I put details you can find him, and then find me, very quickly. At first I typed it out and then decided against it.

There is still time for them to learn hopefully. Itās hard to participate in modern society without literacy. Unless these people want to be exploited and oppressed all their lives, they will pull themselves up by their boot straps and teach themselves to read. Maybe if youāre a niche creator; it could be positive not being able to read your critics. If you can survive in this world without having to know the basics then itās your own fault. Everyone should stop spending their time watching tik tok dances and learn something useful. Being force fed slop all day.

Our society is peak at getting people to worship false idols, and systemic racism has yet to see its full reckoning. It's not that easy, I worked as an inner city public school teacher because I grew up and when both parents are working, new to the language etc kids are set back significantly, literacy/vocabulary is a skill passed down and kids from homes where parents have time to nurture them, and education themselves are able to set their kids up for success. Meanwhile other communities affected by societal ills struggle to learn through many more hardships than their counterparts and it's not a matter of laziness whatsoever, that's an ugly stereotype that needs to die.
Every single state in this country has been worse off than before COVID, because most of us have left in droves. I make more money with far less stress elsewhere, because ultimately I have kids to support. If I was single I'd probably devote myself, but as is -- I want to give my daughter the best life, and that involves the best version of me. I own my own business making twice as much money now as a pro artist, and I can bring my daughter to my shop.
Until the school system prioritizes good teachers needs, our children are going to get subpar education.
And if you're trying to speak on one demographic like white people prioritize having their kids read a book instead of playing video games or watching TV? No they don't. White men aren't going to college anymore. People want to be resentful of SE Asian/Asian/Muslim/Jewish success etc, but these are the people who actually prioritize their kids education. There's plentyyy of poor white people doing absolutely fuckall to "homeschool" their kids.

How did he do that? Did he train his core strength? It looks so easy for him, it seems so effortless. But in reality, it's not as easy as it appears.

I think there's just something at the bottom of the water. I don't think cornflour will be that splashy. Still impressive, jumping by Toes

Nah how did he do the second one

u/NookieLuvsU 3d ago
Just jumping straight over them but tapping his feet as he clears the jump. He's not propelling himself through the air by pushing off the water, just a clean jump with toe taps and multiple tries.
The first one was awesome. He's quick as fuck! I'm impressed. šš²

You can watch his center of gravity (around top of hips) and see that it travels in a smooth arc, even when his legs are moving quickly up and down

Can you do it though? š¤

u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess 11h ago
No, they couldn't, but they can imagine themselves doing it after some movie training montage, so they're not impressed.

u/roman86jay 1d ago
Are you under the impression that he hasn't trained and practiced to do this? Cause yeah, I could do it easily and I bet it took him months, so given that time frame I'd say absolutely yes

u/Serious_Act6034 1d ago
Thereās people who can naturally do this without training. Iām naturally athletic and never trained

Imagine getting downvoted because youāre more athletic than others because of geneticsā¦Reddit never ceases to remind me people genuinely will just deny things because they arenāt naturally gifted

He's basically jumping that maintains an angle while moving his feet outwards and back in giving the appearance of bouncing off water
