ESPN really needs to keep this same energy in the middle of winter and stand on this content. If not then just run replays or close in the summer. There’s only so much Lebron stuff they can talk about.
There’s a monetary incentive to show “traditional” sports like basketball or football. I always found those sports to be boring but the audience is huge.
I'm not an expert, but some landings was way off, even one in the top 4. Beans landing was perfect! Think there should be more rules for the landing alone, most of the competitors had a different approach than the other in that aspect. This sport is super fun to watch, wish I learned this 20 years ago! :P Off to more Death Dive videos!!
Agree more rules! A tripple tucked gainer should not get as much points as it did... I get vibs from normal diving and i hop it doesn't go that way. diversity and style in the Air should count more. Landings not so important but more more pain more gain ;)
Yeah. The degree of difficulty might be considered, but the rawness of people doing crazy s#!t off of a ten meter platform and entering for splash.... I coulda been a contender.
ye the thing is there should be extra points for the latest crounch becaus thats the point of tdeath dive i think the rules are ok its not a olympic sport its just a vibe and thats how its should stay in my opinion
That’s how it is in real time. People take training and winning seriously but at the end of the day everyone’s just hyping each other up and having fun. ESPN focused on scores in the broadcast because they don’t trust Americans to watch anything that isn’t a formal competition

Christina grab? Never heard of that. Sounds like the commentator just made it up on the spot haha. "Ooohh that was a super nice..Christina....grab....."
I've jumped off that cliff. You can get to it for free from your boat on lake Travis. Or you can go to the State Park that has camping and hike over to the spot instead. The height of the jump can be huge or not so huge depending on the height of the water in the lake at the time. That big rock in the water above the boat (right at the beginning of the video) is a fun spot to jump from too. At the time of this contest the lake level was approximately 638 feet, when it's full it's 681 feet. You can see the high water mark on the rock by the boat and on the cliff behind it. Had they held this contest at the end of the year the jump would have been another 10 feet higher....
People clearly need to do some research on (ESPN 8 THE OCHO) and how it came to be. I highly suggest starting with Dodgeball. Remember Dogde, duck, dive, dip and Dodge...
What even is the judging criteria for this? 😂 It's a mess and I love it.
Takeoff, style in the air, how late the close was and how big the splash was
@@LeoLambersy Big splash good or bad?

World Cup will be happening, everyone except for a portion of America will be enjoying the winter.
Who watching this while stoned 😂
Me like.........🤔....🤣🤣🤣
@@dcflex5601 💀💀💀
everyone
Bruh everyone
I didn't see such a comment since 2010
No way, that first guy is going to invent a particle accelerator some day!
So apparently this is a new sport. 30 years ago my friends and I did this but called it Dummy Diving, not Death Diving 😂😂
The "CHAD" Olympics 🐸
This commentator has never seen anything in this competition before
I can’t believe I watched this almost to the end…
why
The Offical F**kFace Regulation Sport
The background animation 😂
That's what I call the sport. Totally out of the box
Wait the ocho is a real thing.....I thought it was just a joke on Dodgeball 🤣🤣🤣
"Perfectly Executed Landing" Idk if these judges have any idea what a perfect death dive landing is...
Crazy how for this came from its humble origins in Hawaii
This was great!
The triple definitely diserved the win. All the others score's were way too high, nothing compared even close to the triple
My kids will not be afraid to die loving what they do.
But hopefully as a parent you teach the kids that there are no do-overs when you die
This event was possibly sponsored by: Pride Mobility Wheelchair Products®
"I had never seen that before" x50

Classic Dods has more formalized rules for landing.

I think I like this more as a non-scored event. Just a bunch of friends belly flopping just cus

These are nice but nowhere as crazy as the death dive jumpers in Norway
So is THE OCHO a real thing now? If so, ill be subbing
I think they are real thing from some time already but not much exposure. There it's a reddit made by fans/community years ago that still works.
Dodgeball
No way, a Triple Gainer?

Depends on how you enter the water
Hail Satan

Whiskey Flip!
lol
How does this impact Lebrons legacy??
Legalize pistachios!

That Kristoffer got robbed
Still better than Power Slap lol
RYAN BEAN IS A BEAST
Idiocracy is becoming truth every year.

Tanner Braungart I think
ESPN can't afford proper mics for both commenters?

Yeah I know. I wonder if it's a bunch of young people that don't know about the movie
@@wickedwood04 they literally had to make The Ocho a real thing after the movie because so many people loved the idea of wacky sports...
I just want to know if The Ocho is gonna be a thing. If so im subbing
Can you dodge a wrench?
Dive
looks like me at the creek after approximately 23 pabst blue ribbons.
They made a sport out of failed diving! Amazing!
Who's got the address of this place
They cheated Kristoffer, that was a 9.5
Love this. The only sport you can won at after never practicing.
Hahaha, definitely a lot of practice involved here actually! Timing and rotations to land in a perfect dod is trickier than it might look.
The only sport where 'hold my beer' is said before each dive.
Nah you actually need a lot of practice or you’ll get hurt
Try doing it without practicing then
Realisticly, what would beat a triple backflip here?
So, you're supposed to land on your face?
Nope, you break the surface of the water with your hands and feet
@@IncredibleIceCastle but kristofers one do everybody seem to think his landing was so good just seemed painful to me
Yes. The bigger the splash and the more people fear for your safety the better
Why call it that though? Also This world is a stage. Layers upon layers of deception and destruction
*Frat party 🤦♂️*
Just said this smh. Lol
How can I compete next year!? Wow 💯
Right!!!!
I’m surprised I don’t see more mustaches
music is a poor mans Avengers theme. makes sense since ESPN is also owned by Disney
Harrison Wells from the Flash?
That's not Harrison Wells, that's the reverse flash
That’s not reverse flash that’s backward blur
The f face podcast sent me here lol
The narrator sounds high
Whyd they cut Simenfisks jump out of the video?
The 9.4 was a TRIPLE Belly Flop.
interdimensional cable is weeeeird
cool things scene jesus
The Ocho!
Where is minikim and truls
These dudes are wild.
You haters are just miserable people. Lol
Wait the Ocho wasnt a meme from Dodgeball
This is dumb, they tuck at the end… so what’s the point??
9,4 for for mr bean
Ryan Bean the only clean one
There are no “brothers” in Norway?
PeeeRFECT 🤯😏
That wasn't a SPLASH!
Is the point to enter the water in the worst way possible?
Do the craziest
Do they have scholarships for this ?
😂
Jesus can change your life ♥️
Any one here from bleepface
Why don’t they dive in
How high was this ?
It is a shame that espn has an age limit. I am 50 and do 2 backlips at 10m. 20m I do 2 and a chosen one. Shame on you ESPN!
The bar is that low now.
Only a month more gents we'll have football that matters
@@whoo17 lol no football matters. Get a life 🤣
@@jananilcolonoscopu4034soccer does matter if you’re American
When I first saw this sport, it was cringe painful to watch. Now I think it’s cool
naah triple somersault ain’t a DØD dive.
Drunklympics
they be letting just anyone call events like this lol
And judge them too
I dont get it
Belly flops on ESPN now christ the whole everyone is a winner Gen is getting outta control
y pipo smh

Announcers are definitely drunk lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Just a play. Ok.
Lol that’s supposed to be great? We did that 17 nothing new.
How's this sport again?
‘Sport’ 🤔
dods did it better
I’m into this
We used to call this getting drunk as Fuk an jumping off a cliff.
First it was tag now this?
SMH that’s all I got to say
What's wrong with this?
@@Bodhi594 it’s trash, this is hobby nonsense for the non athletic
@@danielroper18 So you're saying you could pull one of these jumps off?
@@Bodhi594 I wouldn’t, but this is daredevil type stuff, I prefer something more skilled
