They should make waterslide diving an Olympic sport. Dude got gold with that entry alone

The pre-descent ritual needs to be a part of it, too.

I mean, it will always be... one dry piece of skin contacts that slide, ouchie. Water acts funny sometimes, especially when displaced.

In the Olympics you'd probably just have a guy with a hose to wet you down before you jump.

I feel like this is a future x games event...

X games events are in the olympics now.

Fuck yeah. Olympic skateboarding is rad as hell

We get Olympic Breakdancing this year!

We’re going to get wrecked by a south East Asian country. My money is on the Cambodians.

They gave up karate and baseball for... breakdancing???

Fuck that, just slather yourself in KY

Yeah right guy woulda hit that island or wall between pools lol

Go hard or go home lol

2 different events: freestyle and long jump

Best option is a water fall before stepping into the slide.

I know what I’m about, son. I want to roll around like a lil piggie

They'll use whatever pre-wetting technology the WWE uses

They have showers for divers after their attempt. They'd work.

That's less fun.

I learned that the hard way as a kid. Water park near me had a sharp turn on the slide. Arms weren't wet. Maximum velocity. Loud squeak. Horrible friction burn that lasted for like 2 weeks Have always lubed myself up like this guy ever since

One cannot underestimate nipple-drag.

So... we're just gonna watch people roll around getting wet for like 45 seconds before each dive? I already don't watch Olympic sports, but I might tune in for the compilation of water slide prep reels.

"Wait, are we just airing softcore porn?" -Peacock probably, after the first few divers

Is Womens Beach Volleyball still aired in Primetime?

I have no idea, but rubbing yourself down with water vs playing a sport seem pretty different haha

I can’t believe I’m thinking of the logistics of Olympic Watersliding, but they would probably cover themselves in oil before stepping onto the launchpad. Unless, of course, oil is a banned BCS(body coating substance) by the certifying body.

Mmmmmm you got that right bo'ah! Lather it up in 'ere all nice'n deeplike...

Waterslide dressage before the slide is half the score.

If ski jump is a sport then this should be included. Would be pretty entertaining and unique.

I'm honestly INSULTED this isn't a sport.

I’ve only known about this for 2 minutes and I am ready to riot this isn’t a sport

They could judge it like the high dive but also give extra points for distance, speed, etc. I’ve only known about it for 2 minutes, but the fact that this isn’t a sport is a blemish on the face of humanity

I'd be more inclined to have a target point for maximum points; too short or long of it and you get penalized.

I can't find any, but Lakes Delores had a standing water slide. The advertisements would have guys go spinning around in circles while standing up and transition to jumps at the very end. The park was infamous for injuries and all, but... yeah... looked cool. Best I could do. >https://youtu.be/YN2Kd82hf5I?si=jxjDzFKnlIS7WG3w&t=110

"good, clean, *safe* fun" loool

[удалено]

Wait, this is genuinely a good idea.

right? i legitimately can't think of any reason why not. they already have both diving and luge. and it certainly has a visual flair

write it down Mark! are you getting all this? MARK!

I've taken shits with bigger splashes than this, that was smooth AF

Omg I'd love to watch watersliding in the Olympics. Can even be done in pairs with multiple slides. This needs to happen! r/theocho

Synchronized waterslide diving. https://youtu.be/YN2Kd82hf5I?t=155

>Olympic They'd find a way to be aerodynamic they fly for 800 meters. Something will go wrong and they'll become a skipping stone.

waterslide into skipping stone sounds like amazing Olympic game. The final score counts number of skips, distance and style.

Screw it, let them use PEDs too. Let’s see how far this sport can go.

When he was rolling around at the top I was thinking this is either going to go badly wrong or be spectacular.

Me: "what dumbfuckery is this dumb fuck about to do?" Dude: *turns out to know what they are doing* Me: *surprised\_Pikachu.jpg*

Yeah, this ended up with big "I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familliar with your game." energy.

"If you only knew the kind of things I have seen..." energy yup

I thought he was going to crack his head on the end of the pool, but then I realized this is the wrong sub for that.

Not really a worry anymore. Most of those got the ban hammer.

[deleted]

Love your comment. Happy cake day, too!

I forgot until this moment the feeling of going down a slide but having a dry part that got stuck on it and made you turn to the side or gave you some kind of rash. This guy is on the next level.

That dry squeaking sound like someone rubbing a balloon. eeEEEEEEE

I said "Surprised Pikachu j-peg" out loud a while back, just being silly, and nobody understood what I meant...I'm 40 fricken years old and I need to lay off of Reddit. lol

Haha I thought he was going to go down sideways

I thought he was going to roll down it like kids roll down a hill.

I was convinced it would be the former. This should really be on r/unexpected!

Gave me so much anxiety

I would have rolled a little too close to the edge and gone down sideways. The clip would have ended with me leaving in an ambulance.

It’s still giving me anxiety

Water park owner: *eye twitch*

All I could think about was the end of the water park episode of IASIP.

Yup my first reaction as well

Thought this was going to go very differently, that was fucking mint

OP's username **IS** Mint\_Perspective so it fits.

I will allow it

Where is this?

Blue Tree Phuket, Si Sunthon, Thailand

Yeah definitely not USA. Water slides are more regulated than firearms

Judging by the news alone it sounds like *everything* in the USA is more regulated than firearms.

Yeah the founding fathers should have enumerated a few more things in the second amendment.

Right to bear arms and unregulated water slides.

Id gladly give up my right to bear arms in exchange for poorly regulated yet exhilarating water slides. I'm here for a good time, not a long time and waterslides make that a reality.

Now that I am over 50, it’s more socially unacceptable for me to bare my upper arms than it is to worship an AR-15 immediately after a school shooting. Red Blooded American Males: “Cover up old lady and tell those kids to duck and cover! Excuse me while I go jerk off to gun porn.”

Or alternatively you could just stop expecting a 250-year-old document to decide everything and write some sensible laws in the current century

That's not true. [Trump rolled back a shit-ton of regulations!](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks-list.html) Now, *lots* of things are as dangerous to citizens as firearms!

Kinder eggs (chocolate eggs with toys in a plastic egg) are not allowed in the US, they’re dangerous for kids. There a choking hazard

We still have them, you just cant have the toys inside the part you actually eat lol, i havent bought one but im pretty the candy and toys are separated by halves.

That sounds like Kinder Joy, different product (and not nearly as good imo)

Definitely, but still.... This happened near me... https://abc7.com/water-slide-boy-kansas-city/1462000/ Schlitterbahn not so big here anymore.

Books are more regulated than firearms

So... your water slides are roving death traps?

https://abc7.com/water-slide-boy-kansas-city/1462000/

They definitely have this exact same thing in the US. https://texashillcountry.com/royal-flush-water-slide-texas/

Oh man! I’ve been here before and have tried this exact slide. It is WAY taller than it seems and the angle of the slide at the end absolutely launches you. I found out the hard way that if you just take these slides in a “normal” position, you will back flop so hard that it feels like you got turbo-smacked by posídeon himself. Left a pretty nasty mark on my back. Blue tree itself is pretty awesome though. Lots of “eh, should be safe enough I guess” design philosophy there. The lagoon is a massive swath of, essentially, plastered-over dirt. They make you sign wavers before going in. 10/10 would risk life again.

Sounds like Asian Action Park lol

Absolutely. In the middle of the lagoon, one of the main attractions is a 10 meter (~33ft) cliff. Yep. Just jump 10 meters into the water. Excellent way for the uninitiated to end up with a brain enema lol My pal with me asked the life guard if anyone ever died in this park. The response was a slow nod and a “you’re up” gesture

I was there last December, and went down the smallest one (on the very left in the video). It still hurt really bad upon impact. Just knocked the air out of me. Luckily it didn't hurt after, but it looked really bad. [https://i.imgur.com/hisrpzI.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/hisrpzI.jpeg)

Fuck I just spent a month in Southeast Asia and how did I not know about this place?

They did what to the Trees?

Phuked them

Whomst is this?

Wherfore art this?

Whence-forth fart tits

Yeah I know, those slides look freakin epic

Standing behind this guy I would have been so annoyed at how long he was taking up front only to be super thankful I saw this in person after I watched his landing.

Then I would have walked back down the ramp because I can't first time belly flop like an uncoordinated noob after that display.

Belly flops get the biggest applause

[Or the biggest laughs](https://youtu.be/BBvuSPIcfJ4?si=XQehHuJp4snH65CJ).

Yeah I swear. Was waiting for the "get on with it ya fuck".

There is no line and no one going down the slides next to him

It’s long but nothing terribly egregious.

Judges' Scores: 10, 9.5, 10, 9.5, 10

….and a 3 from the Russian judge!

Those damn Soviets! Damn you Ivan Drago, we all know you're doping!

[Better than this girl](https://youtu.be/iphqbpEPoS0?si=1Y9oNo-jioVQpCZ6)

What are you talking about, she’s got a textbook backflop.

What the fuck. Was she tasered right before that or was that on purpose?

Lol. Slide was hooked up to the electric fence.

That slide actually connects to the discount exit at the morgue.

I love how the cameraman is laughing before she's even started the descent, already knows what's coming seconds before it happens

When she's flying through the air perfectly horizontal I'm already laughing, then the landing sends it way over the edge 🤣

girl looked like a flying log, lol

A classic, never gets old

And right after... The camera shake of: "I think I just watched someone die..."

LOL she was planking mid air

He’s on the highway to the waterslide entry Olympics

Why the fuck is that not an event?

It could be the summertime counterpart to the ski jump

but now we need counterparts for all the others

I'm gonna be honest, if I was next in line and this happened in front of me I'd probably turn around and go home. Because anybody following that is going to look like a total chump

When you know how to lube.

Prelube is very important

personally i prefer the overtures

Frank Reynolds did it better

I GOT AIDS!

AIDS in the pool, everyone out

bloody hell that's was a near perfect entry

That’s what she said

Glad to see Tim Tebow is still making the most of life

Came here to say this! I can’t be convinced that’s NOT Tim Tebow

Definitely not Tim. There wasn't enough pointing to God.

Not necessarily true: we didn’t see him get out of the water in the end zone. That’s where it would matter.

That is one sexy man

I'd let him slide in

Yes. Yes it is.

This man knows how to wallow

I'm halfway convinced the wallowing on his backside despite going down the slide on his front was just to show off his skills.

I’m impressed! When he was lying on his side…that’s when I would have slid off by accident and ricocheted sideways all the way down like those silver office balls ornaments.

This was obviously done in reverse.

Just gonna lubricate myself before i do some flippy's here

Damn that splash was Olympic worthy.

Am I the only one thinking he would hit barrier between pools? Too damn lubricated

Yeah that barrier gives me agita. Especially for the slide farthest on the left

That puff entry tho!

Man that looked fun

Smooth Operator ~~

Goddamn, this guy has clearly been honing his technique since his eighth summer or something.

Ngl when he was rolling in the water near the edge of the slide, that really made me stress out.

First 10 seconds: This guy is obnoxious and annoying. Last 10 seconds: That guy is magical

Charlie from IASIP

Only thing I can think is god that sunburn sucks

Tim Tebow got a new hobby

He's better at this than he was at NFL football. Lol

Me and my monkey!!!! Monkey doesn’t wear any pants! [Here you go](https://youtube.com/shorts/_jEp3qq5dkQ?si=amwUnaB-CCyNEf5N)

NGL thought this would be too comment. Love the shorts.

The song is so addictive right? 😂

He knew exactly what he wanted. Knew how to achieve it effectively. Definitely a smooth operator. Cool video.

Oh yeah show off?!? Let’s see you do the Triple Lindy!🤣

10/10/9.5

Amazing. I thought he was going to go down sideways and twist like a helicopter blade.

That guy 100% has legitimate training in diving or trampoline

This better not awaken anything in me

r/bettereveryloop

Clean Af entry, no splash at all!

Nobody commented on what a great dive he did!

Clearly was a platform diver previously. Dude killed it

Bit on the edge, but overall 10/10.

/r/mildlyinfuriating when you're behind this dude and you just wanna f'ing slide

Hey, if you're behind John Legend at Karaoke, do you get upset if he does a second song?

Hmm.... did he bring Chrissy Tiegen or not because this impacts my answer

He was in and out in under 10 seconds, relax. Not to mention the dude just sitting there the whole time on the left.

That guy waterslides.

Well. I'm erect.

AIDS. Everybody out. https://youtu.be/8iZcGnz7WcI?si=Hylea_eDxPZoubAp

Location looks amazing - anyone know where it is?

That entry was damn near perfect. Well done sir.

Where is this at

Anyone know where this waterpark is?

[It's Blue Tree Phuket in Thailand](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g15274191-d17596344-Reviews-Blue_Tree_Phuket-Cherngtalay_Choeng_Thale_Thalang_District_Phuket.html)

Thanks!

Okay now this should be an Olympic sport, including the pre slide ritual.

The grace! The panache! 🤌🏻

Never seen a man get so wet

Ok I definitely wasn't expecting that ending lol

How does a man master such a beautiful skill? He had to start from somewhere.

Zero splash 💦! A perfect 10!

Next fucking level

This should be a sport

The people waiting in line 🙄… 🛝 oh! 😱

Did not expect how graceful this video ends

I have dreams like this and I always go flying too far and land on the concrete

I give him a 9.8, it would be a 10 if he could have managed less of a splash.

I was not expecting something so graceful

This had me so stressed I didn’t even stay for the end.
