Yeah, I try not to post to many youtube clips and especially youtube clips where it takes a couple of minutes to get to the good stuff, but I'm overruling myself and doing it.
I had absolutely and completely forgotten that these diving competitions used to occur. I'm pretty sure I watched it as a kid on Wide World Of Sports and, once I saw it was on, I wasn't leaving to go and do what used to be called "play outside."
And I suspect they stopped these competitions because somebody was going to get killed one day.
But I urge you to get past the brief interview and watch as the camera pans up to the position of the diver. And, of course, then watch the dive.
And I own those exact shorts.
