High Dive Belly Smacker
I went to Phoenix last September for a business trip and while there, a pretty funny thing was caught on film. Let me give you a little background first. After the ‘business’ part of the trip was over, we had quite a bit of fun at the resort. The pools and the water park on the property were pretty awesome. Well, a co-worker of mine had brought her husband and a few of his friends from Michigan along for the trip. They were a gas (literally and figuratively)… and we had some laughs. The picture below is of a guy who goes by ‘Spinny’. He decides to do a ‘belly-smacker’ off the roof of the cabana next to the pool.
You can make out on the right side of the picture one of the eaves of the cabana. Spinny jumped from there, went into full ‘flying-squirrel’ mode, and didn’t break formation once. He held both of his ankles from the moment he left the roof until he hit the water. I tell you it was a thing of beauty. Thank god my girlfriend was able to snap this picture just before he hit the surface.
Here he is getting out of the pool. I wasn’t able to stop laughing for about 5 minutes… needless to say, about two cases of beer and umpteen Ultima (pronounced Oooool-teeeeee-Mah!) Grande Margaritas later we ended up getting kicked out of the pool by security. Ahhhh… now, if only they had a Christie’s here in Kentucky.
Wait a minute…you live in KENTUCKY???
Sounds like good times. Good times I’d actually be AFRAID to have with people I work with…
I don’t wish to comment on his iq but that is a pretty brave belly flop.
ngregory00: Yes, but don’t hold that against me… I swear Lexington is decent sized city and I wear shoes… The only part of KY that fits the stereotype is Eastern KY, and if you get up into the hills far enough, you might even get a little ‘Deliverance’ goin on.

fuzzbox: Actually he’s pretty damn smart… but for some reason he’s one of those guys that lives to entertain other people. Hence, the belly flop. And he’s not from KY… he’s from Michigan. Just to clarify, in case anyone was gonna start with the “only a redneck from KY…” :)
Every time I think of belly flops from great heights, I always wonder what it would feel like doing a belly flop off the Golden Gate bridge.
Sick, huh?
Oops I forgot, just for clarification…I went to UK, so maybe there is something to that crazy redneck thing.
i amazes me that you guys didn’t have to drag his lifeless corpse from the pool. i’m sure that shit stung pretty bad. keep up the good work :D
that would’ve been a sight to see
Omnipotent Poobah: You went to UK too? Ok, then maybe you might know a little something about that crazy redneck thing.

eric: Yeah, he was talking about doing the same belly flop move off a three story causeway into the pool. I bet we would have been pulling a corpse out if he had tried that.

Shane: Oh it was… I was in shock that he did it at all.
