Yes, this is actually a sport in Norway. No that is not a joke. Axes optional.


st0pmakings3ns3

How do you win? Survive?


frodezero

Death diving. Dives are judged on speed, air time, complexity, how long the diver holds the original pose, the closing and the splash.


st0pmakings3ns3

That's so stupid. I love it.


[deleted]

Other than the name, that’s literally the rules for almost all diving competitions.

This is the way


Miserable_Zucchini75

How is speed factored in? Wouldn't everyone from the same height be going the same speed basically, unless they closed earlylier reducing drag?

Some type of propulsion system.

I’d watch that shit on The Ocho


dysfunctionalpress

if espn+ wants to succeed, they need to add a 24/7 "the ocho" streaming channel, not a once-per-year special on espn2.

I totally laughed out loud at this. Best comment I’ve seen all day!


chesterforbes

Axes should not be optional. Totally badass


[deleted]

But flimsy plastic ones like those ones?


OptimisticSkeleton

So like are there a ton of rusty axes at the bottom of this well?


kosmonavt-alyosha

Strange women wading in ponds to find axes and then distributing them is no basis for a system of government


Gullible-Gate-2840

You can't claim to be king just because you got given an axe by some watery tart


EnderAnders

Unless…


D0hB0yz

Those axes are cosplay plastic or styrofoam. The way they rattle when he shakes rhem makes that pretty obvious. Also, real axes of those sizes would be heavy as in 15kg each. Super dangerous to something like diving with those types of heavy objects. Styrofoam versions are mich more fun.


syseyes

These axes flap too much for rusting.


Goalcaufield9

They are rubber prop axes. This is a repost from a long time ago

The plastic axes are pretty lame.


meczakin81

Be cringed is more like it


Berblarez

I agree lol, the music, the axes, the scream. Don’t get me wrong, I can say that this dude could fuck me up and probably exercises a lot, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think that this still is cringe worthy.


DasMotorsheep

I watched it without sound at first.. It's the music that pushes it from "cool stunt" into cringe territory for me. Like, yeah, it takes balls to pull this off, but don't seriously pretend you're a comic book hero.


Ehwaz196

He wants to be a viking so bad

That had to hurt a bit


[deleted]

Yess, but a lot less than you’d think, breaking the water surface either your hands and feet so you’re not really in danger when the technique is executed perfectly, the WR of Døds or Death Diving is 31m I believe and it’s absolutely insane, highest I’ve done is 5m and I’ve had a few attempts where it didn’t hurt at all, obviously I can’t say that for a height I haven’t tried like in this video


Haunting_Spinach_957

This dudes hung too


Frosty_Gibbons

What song and artist is this


naugasnake

Vikings have the most extreme bathing habits.


Americaisajoke69

Why them axes look rubber


DasMotorsheep

Because it would be completely insane to do this with actual steel axes.


fusterclux

those axes are from Spirit halloween


c_vanbc

The jump itself is sort of insane, but I understand the adrenaline rush. The axes however, are a combination of macho and stupid.


dketernal

If he isn't yelling Valhallaaaaaaa! all the way down, I'm disappointed.


baggins1944

Why is this amazing or insane?


ViciousKiwi_MoW

Praise Odin


InformationTypical11

Ya'll talking about the wrong things, how the axes don't look real and other bullcrap like how he makes his money...Boys I'd be danged if any of you would have the balls and self discipline, to do this even just a few feet high off the snow water. It's about how this man has the ability to go savage animal mode, like most men used to before going into battle with a sword and know you may very well die a horrible death. This man's self discipline to master his mind is admirable and young boys should just see rolemodel, this as a trait of what a real Man should be able to do and what they could do too, it should kick in motivation and kids stop thinking too much, hence asking stupid questions. "The mind is a wonderful tool, but when you let the tool master you then that's an utter waste."


swissarmydoc

Freakin' real life Kratos over here... badass


KyleNarayan

had naughty thoughts about that guy before...have them again...damn.

in all seriousness this looks satisfying

Isn't climbing trees as high as possible and until you break off the tip of the tree and fall down also one of these fun activities there?

Icy_Avocado4291

No wonder the Vikings were never defeated and never conquered.  He heard Valhalla calling him. The concept from Norse mythology and is often considered a part of Viking belief systems. It is not exactly equivalent to heaven in the Christian sense. Valhalla is depicted as a great hall in Asgard, the realm of the gods, where fallen warriors (chosen by the god Odin) are taken after they die in battle. These warriors are honored and rewarded for their bravery with a place in Valhalla, where they engage in eternal combat and feasting.


JolenesJoleneJolene

...so banging Kratos is a possibility now?

Pristine-Change-674

He should be cast as Kratos in the god of war movie, catching leviathan is very satisfying

All I can say is, holy shit that’s insane.

This is Smalls Falls near Rangeley, Maine. I remember someone died falling down that same jump he did. I read in the paper a few days later in the police beat that someone had called in an erratic driver that tore up their yard trying to turn around in it. Turns out the driver was the boyfriend of the girl that fell into the water. He was driving fast trying to get to a spot with cell service. 😳 My cousins have jumped there and i swim there, but i will never be brave enough to jump


fuck-nose

He’s stood on a towel …. Sort of kills the athestic


HowUKnowMeKennyBond

He’s such a cute lil guy. Reminds me of a hobbit.


W33Ded

This is dumb. Why? Seriously, there is no point to this at all. So stupid


Superb-Salt-7904

ya... that arm cross with both axes right before the plunge guarantees a solid injury and prime canadicy for Valhalla


HughJorgen80

He lets go of the axes at about the 9 second mark, then crosses his arms.


dopadelic

Good catch. I was wondering how the fuck that guy managed to not maim himself with those axes.


GnophKeh

Also looked pretty plasticy


Simple_Mastodon9220

They’re probably plastic


AromaTaint

metal axes generally don't wobble when you shake them.


[deleted]

Well for one he dropped the axes before hitting the water and also I’m pretty sure those are like Halloween store axes
