Professional Divers

I have been meaning to post this for a while. Many people do not realize this, but my junior year at Wake Forest I won the intramurals diving championship, and have the tshirt somewhere to prove it. Before you get images of Greg Luganis in his skeenie bikini, understand that I was fully clothed, and just happened to best the competition with a myriad of skillful and impressive dives.

Here is a video of my brother in law (Chris Foca) and myself performing two perfect double flips earlier this year while he and his family were visiting us for Mary Laine's baptism. You be the judge on who performs the more technical and impressive double flip. For what it is worth, these diving boards are clearly not Olympic regulation springability which for mere mortals would effect the result of the attempt.

Some notes for the viewers. The cameraman is none other than the reknowned Phillip Galbreath, and at one point I let a sound very similar to Top Gun's very own Goose, minus the "Jester's dead".... All Top Gun Fans out there will recognize it immediately. But without further ado, please enjoy, and make sure your volume is up loud enough to hear the crowd cheering these two works of art.
