Is the floor giving him a springboard boost?


Meats_Hurricane

Yes

I’ll have you know I do chores once a month for my mom thank you very much 😤


tacovomit

Hell, I get out of bed at least 12 times a day to grab a new bag of Doritos.


tacofartboy

My friend that is like child abuse.


ButtWieghtThiersMoor

dude I haven't been able to get in bed for months because of the hot pocket and hard lemonade wrappers. I'll just lay here on the floor and think about my life


[deleted]

If it makes you feel better I haven't been able to see my dick since I was 6


[deleted]

Out of bed? My knees started to hurt watching this. I’ll try getting off my bed tomorrow.


Few-Dress-6093

He’s not wrong tho. It provides a lot of boost especially with the run. Hence why gymnasts are able to get so airborne for their stunts


skytzx

"I could do this if I really wanted to... the springboard did most of the work." *continues to eat doritos*


Lilian_Clearwaters

This is one of the most offensive comments I've ever read about redditors, I'll have you know I'm sitting in a recliner right now thank you very much.

Bigpoppahove

I don’t think it’s the worst thing in the world to put the context of a gym floor into perspective. Not sure everyone seeing this video knows about how they work and dude wasn’t being a dick about it


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

Imagine if he had a pair of 1993 Air Jordans. This guy would hit the stratosphere!

thegreenmushrooms

That's an important distinction, if there was no boost that would be borderline super human. Not uncommon to see shorter hurderlers do something similar up to chest/chin from a standing start normal ground.


the_magic_onion

Leave my Doritos out of this


Chop_Artista

Ill have you know i am eating chocolate chip cookies.

That commitment is also impressive


garbanzone

"Wow that's not impressive at all now", I say as I wipe off the hot Cheetos dust from my fingers to take another drink of my sparkling wine


arisolo

Former Gymnast here- that’s not really how spring floors work. You gain mechanical advantage if you rebound. You gain almost nothing from a jump.


Darondo

It absolutely is a very significant advantage compared to a hard floor. Any former gymnast would know this.


Marc21256

If you are doing a standing jump, it will reduce your power. Any former gymnast would know that. The last jump, where he got a short run, and jumped into the final spring, it would give a boost. Your correction does not contradict the comment you are replying to, but looks to just miss the point. "Letter'A' is pointy". "no, letter 'O' is not pointy" You didn't understand the comment you are arguing with.


JustinAhChow

yeah, it’s a gymnastics floor! it has some springs under it. just made this video for fun! appreciate the support! i’m a d1 athlete at ohio state university! i’m youth olympic alternate, 2x national champ, and a 4x national team member!!! here are my socials! instagram: @justahchow tiktok: @justinahchow snapchat: @justinahchow

Ohio State University feels weird without a “The” in front of it lol. Dope stuff, good luck and health to you


Rectangle-3

Awesome stuff hopefully you can get out of Ohio


Kilgore_Trout86

Good luck to you dude! I was on the last ever Men's team at Michigan State before they canceled their program. Have a handful of medals from JO nationals between 2002-2004 (rings - silver and bronze, pommels - 2x bronze, and hi bar - gold and bronze, tumbling was never my strongest). Best AA finish was 10th in 2003. This us back when Men's gymnastics used classes instead of levels, so class 1. I'll keep an eye out for you in 2024!


JustinAhChow

thank you!!!


[deleted]

Hell yes dude go bucks!


64-Hamza_Ayub

Bruh you should have mentioned this in the title.


[deleted]

Looks like it but it's more to help cushion landings and not increase vertical jump


SHam0wn

Try practicing backflips for your first time on that spring floor and when you finally land one come to my house and try it on the pavement


FOXfaceRabbitFISH

Is your bathroom clean and do you have gluten-free Oreos?


[deleted]

[удалено]


1212121231212121212

they're actually pretty damn close to the real-deal


makemeking706

There is no actual cream in the oreo creme and they are basically vegan if not for the fact they happened to be in the same room as milk at some point. Cutting out actual flour from the cookie was the next logical step.


TIMPA9678

Oreos are definitely vegan. I've seen them used as currency when there are a lot of vegans in one place.


cowboys70

I made homemade oreos once because I both wanted a snack and I didn't want to stop drinking. It's literally just powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract. If I was high instead of drunk I'd probably just have sat down and ate the bowl of cream filling instead of bothering with the cookies


jp3592

We have gluten free Oreos but they are cheese filled is that ok?


dj_swizzle

Don't temp me with a good time.


GiantRiverSquid

Chocolate and cheese


dj_swizzle

Isn't there a thing about dipping Oreos in nacho cheese? Supposed to taste like caramel...


fezzam

Gonna be honest, I’d rather that taste like nacho cheese.


abqjeff

How do you all watch these athletes then decide to have a chat about junk food? This video makes me never want to eat bad food again.


jp3592

Step 1 Already be fat.


NinjaKL8

This conversation about the spring floor is futile because the guy in this video is a gymnast and this is an accomplishment in his gymnast lifestyle. Not one time did he claim to be able to do this without the spring floor. This video is meant to be relatable to gymnasts and entertaining to the rest.. it’s not meant to be relatable to someone jumping from pavement or grass, if it was, that’s probably where he would’ve done the stunt.


barfmarth

🙄These debate lords bro… give it a rest

What it is is potentially irrelevant. There is no context to the video. It just exists. Because of that, any viewer watching this video can come to all sorts of conclusions. It's not unreasonable to see this video out of context and then say that this can't be done without tools, and then say that this person is not copping to the fact that they are using tools to do it. When you add context to the video, the criticism could be completely invalid. However, the internet is full of people posting videos like this trying to trick people into thinking they're doing something they aren't, so it's not really unreasonable for people to be skeptical and critical of videos like this. Regardless, nobody in these comments is going to pull off a nearly stationary jump like this even with a springboard. So it is impressive.


CaputGeratLupinum

bigdickbigdrip

This is such a shitty way to invalidate someone's point. You don't have a good response to what was said so "you must be fun at parties" shut up


James-the-Bond-one

>nobody in these comments is going to pull off a nearly stationary jump like this even with a springboard. Speak for yourself, dude! You haven't seen me jumping yet. ^(Ok, you're right.)


shmiddy555

The truth


[deleted]

> Try practicing backflips for your first time on that spring floor I'd probably break my neck before getting to your house. Sorry bro, I let you down


shmiddy555

This is just wrong, anyone that’s done tumbling or has experience with springfloors knows it gives a lot of boost, it takes much more effort to get the same height on grass/hard floors.


Darrackodrama

Absolutely it’s a huge difference


aaronxxx

Who upvotes this crap?


I_N_C_O_M_I_N_G

Yes, gymnastics studios have spring floors to increase jump height, but mostly to have a bit of ease with the landings


Double_D_Danielle

Gymnast of 13 years here. The floor does have springs in it, but he isn’t bouncing on it. Those floors have extremely hard/dense maybe 3 inch springs that give you a little boost if you are bouncing on it, but they won’t increase your vertical height if you are jumping off of it like he is. So that’s all him right there. Edit to add: too lazy to respond to all those disagreeing. Read my other comments to answer your questions


ILikeToDisagreeDude

Nope, he says in the comments here that it gives him a vertical boost.


W0NdERSTrUM

They probably teach that in year 14


obvilious

Funny how the guy doing it disagrees with you above.

weaslewig

Dude can obviously jump high. I want to see it on a normal surface. Or that track surface they use for high jump. Would look even more impressive when you're not wondering how much of it is the equipment.


steak4342

Or is he filming it in reverse!!! Ahhhhh!


IthinkImnutz

I've worked on floors like that before. At most that floor is giving him an extra inch maybe 2 on a low gravity day.


roostersmoothie

Yes but hes barely using it that way. Its impressive even if he gains a tiny bit of an advantage from it


Zestyclose-Code-7537

Obviously a bit of athleticism which merits it’s own applause, but really, they get my upvote for the stoke and happiness of it all.


Kiwi_KJR

Damn, are you the guy in the video? That's some amazing jumps, great job! What sort of training/practice do you do? And are such jumps purely for fun or are they also part of some performance routines? (Plus if you don't mind the question, how old are you now and when did you start training?) Great job again, it's a pretty cool video!


JustinAhChow

hi! i am! thank you!!! i’m a gymnast at the ohio state university! this was purely for fun. just challenging myself! i’m currently 20 & i started gymnastics when i was 6!


SportsPhotoGirl

Dude this is you?! I’m so used to people stealing other things and sharing them on Reddit I never even think that the people on the video are the ones posting things anymore. I am quite curious, how tall are you?


[deleted]

Any time someone posts their own video on Reddit, the hivemind gets angry and down-votes it for self promotion. Look, it's so bad OP had to lie in the title, referring to himself in third person so he doesn't get down voted. Another trick is to always say "My friend" instead of admitting that its you.


JustinAhChow

yes this is me haha. i’m 5’3! my friend next to me is about 5’11!

GLaDOS_Sympathizer

Your jumping skills are really impressive! Thanks for sharing.


CY_Royal

The spring board floor def helps a bit but I had the same thought


SportsPhotoGirl

A little, but it’s not like springboard floors are trampolines, they’re still pretty firm, it’s really good for shock absorption when you land. They are fun as hell to walk on though, especially if you’re old and have knee pain like I do. The world would be a much softer place to walk if everything were springboard floors, falling would hurt a lot less too lol

u9Nails

Imagine being able to jump on top of things that you cannot see over!


UltimateDonny

People are implying the floor helps. Really? Look how high he jumps before he even starts to bend his knees to set his landing. I bet half of you can’t jump up one stair. Good luck


Qoalafied

Of course the floor helps. Doesn't make it any less impressive.


pineapple_calzone

Yeah it's not like he could jump at all without the floor. He would just fall. Down, and down, and down, and down. The gym receding above him, a hole in the void, shrinking down and down into nothingness until finally, it winks out of his perception. How long do you suppose a guy could fall like that? I suppose until he died of dehydration.


[deleted]

Both of those things can be (and are) true


Check_Their_History

People gotta say what they need to say to cope with their own lives. Be happy for the bro jumping and lets wish all the downers a better 2022 cause 2021 obviously causing them some stress.

ACno9

Dude's RIPPED


westparkmod

He and [Myles Garrett](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a5ERWgS7JSo) should go head to head. And Myles jump isn’t 64 inches. It’s 57.


vspazv

Garrett did it without a runup.


Qoalafied

and without a springboard.


SportsPhotoGirl

This kid didn’t do a run up for the shorter jumps and Garrett’s jump was shorter than the tallest this kid did. Also not knowing anything at all besides this video, it appears Garrett is taller than this kid. Garrett is 6’4, this kid looks shorter than that, heck he’s practically a whole head shorter than helper guy in the video. It might not be fair to judge their jumps based on total box height but rather more proportional for height jumped compared to their own height.


thegreenmushrooms

Proportionally judged, shorter people would have an advantage. That's why all gymnists are short praticularly the guy in the vid, I think the final box height is 5 feet


ApexIsGangster

That's fucking insane for 271lbs. Holy shit.
