it's a bold move cotton, let's see if it pays off.

[–]KidCasey 17 points18 points ago

He's not going to be able to see very well, Cotton.

[–]putinspenis 8 points9 points ago

Pepper needs new shorts!

[–]Animal2 3 points4 points ago

He's ball-less now.
He hasn't got any balls Cotton!

[–]momsydjuse 254 points255 points ago

Guy with the black shorts immediately bows down.

[–]Jeffreee02 162 points163 points ago

i would too. that's kinda something you do in the presence of a dodgeball god.

[–]wdalphin 31 points32 points ago

I love that commercial. And now it has lead me to this.

[–]FlamingWeasel 5 points6 points ago

Fuckin' kneelers.

[–]primokarim 8 points9 points ago

....Blood of my blood!

[–]framedrag 14 points15 points ago

Ahha that would be my reaction too ahaha! I can't believe I just saw this shit! He puts his hand on his head!

[–]LaughsAtYourBadJoke 4 points5 points ago

Why would you frame a rag anyway?

[–]AttractiveLemon 5 points6 points ago

It's a personal treasure of his? No, it's his genetic destiny.

[–]manuel_robot_cleaner 0 points1 point ago

Did he become Harbinger there?

[–]nobodysharp -1 points0 points ago

it was a planned set-up

[–]Rkolczaski 1 point2 points ago

Lord, I am not worthy.

[–]septimus379 0 points1 point ago

he knows god when he sees him.

[–]wortime -3 points-2 points ago

Combo breaker!

[–]paranode -3 points-2 points ago

Looks staged to me. He starts the jump before the kid throws the ball.

[–]smileymalaise 2 points3 points ago

and you can see the wires

[–]n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3 2 points3 points ago

In combat to win you must predict your enemies moves. I have predicted moves that make me look like a god too. I really am nothing.

[–]deathbytray 99 points100 points ago

[–]MarPan88 7 points8 points ago

On video it looks as if he decided to jump before he saw the ball coming... still, amazing feat and looks badass!

[–]squeakyL 7 points8 points ago

If it's anything like how I played dodgeball in middleschool, I started diving the moment I saw someone with a ball look at me

[–]catch10110 22 points23 points ago

Mom always taught us to curl up in a ball and remain motionless when confronted.

[–]maxxspeed 1 point2 points ago

You lay there like a slug. It was your only defense.

[–]bigpuffycake 68 points69 points ago

That appears to be capoeira, some Brazilian martial art.

[–]Crimson-V 24 points25 points ago

It's a JStep Gainer, more commonly found in free-running and martial-arts tricking.

[–]Karl_von_Moor 29 points30 points ago

Sounds like something you put in your java-prog for GUI.

[–]eastiseast 2 points3 points ago

Slant Gainer

Even with a J-Step, a gainer is more vertical. This move is the prerequisite for a Corkscrew

[–]Crimson-V 0 points1 point ago

Technically, you're correct. Although these days, Cheat Gainers, Slant Gainers, and Gainer Flashes have all been consolidated into 'Gainers', due to the fact that all three tricks are incredibly similar in technique and execution.

This is all in the tricking crowd, though. Free-runners could be still calling them Slant Gainers and I would be blissfully unaware, haha.

[–]eastiseast 0 points1 point ago

You're right. Also because people care less about the "name" these days, and because people want to think they're progressing at a faster rate than they truly are.

[–]FartWrangler 3 points4 points ago

Or sexy-dance-fighting as it's called on Bob's Burgers.

[–]crashpod 0 points1 point ago

It's also a move called a butterfly in wushu

[–]darthjeff81 -3 points-2 points ago

Came to say the same thing

[–]bigpuffycake 0 points1 point ago

Sorry D: Best I can do right now is give you an Upvote :D

[–]someauthor 15 points16 points ago

I'ma arabesque yo ass

[–]davidlove 3 points4 points ago

That shit ain't no Arabesque.

Bro, do you even pointe?

[–]hyperextension 0 points1 point ago

more like a 540 or a tours jete. Ballet dancers unite.

[–]BunnyPenny 13 points14 points ago

It looks closer to marital arts or even break dancing than ballet.

[–]HillbillyThinkTank 16 points17 points ago

Yep. I have used this in the bedroom and can confirm that my wife loves it.

[–]BunnyPenny 3 points4 points ago

I read your comment for a very confused 5 minutes before I realized I typed marital.

How did this completely unrelated title get so many upvotes?

This is almost too beautiful to actually use. I don't want to see it in every other thread.

[–]funkydo 1 point2 points ago

Jeez; I thought that was a split screen for a few times around.

[–]sininobas 3 points4 points ago

That is called Martial Arts Tricking. I've been a tricker / trickster for a few years now. It's like a combination of gymnastics, breakdancing, martial arts, and any other physical form of expression you want.

For a good description, watch this.

There's a subreddit dedicated to tricking : /r/tricking Come check us out :)

[–]jjheiselman 0 points1 point ago

Wow... never heard of this term and now I want to give you all the rest of my upvotes.

[–]Nimcenzo 5 points6 points ago

I dreamed of being this good at dodgeball when I was at school.

[–]zeWoah 3 points4 points ago

This isn't even ballet. It looks more like tricking to me, in which the kid would probably be applauded for, by his classmates.

[–]tatnell10 3 points4 points ago

Other kids made fun of his original content. Secretly ..... He reports from the shadows

It looks like the guy bowing down in the back catches the ball at one point. Stupid optical illusions, I've stared at this far too long ( I know he started with a ball ).

It's funny because the kid on the right took him out .5 seconds later.

Is it just me or is he holding a dagger in his other hand

[–]Puninteresting -2 points-1 points ago

All that awesome flipping and he's out. The other kid caught it.

[–]jjheiselman 0 points1 point ago

Nah, you can clearly see the ball bouncing off the other kid and up out of frame toward the upper-right corner.

[–]Puninteresting 0 points1 point ago

Oh, you're right. My phone had trimmed the edges of the gif for some reason.

[–]linds360 0 points1 point ago

[–]Minerva89 1 point2 points ago

Downvote because that's not ballet.

[–]MichelleMorgan5 0 points1 point ago

In elementary we were playing baseball and as I was running to home plate someone threw the ball and it was headed right at me, so I lept over it and kept running xD

[–]jmart1375 -1 points0 points ago

Fake ass shit. I believe the jump is legit but the flight of the ball is total bs.

[–]Kintanon 0 points1 point ago

It's not. That guy is a member of the capoeira club that a friend of mine trains at. He could make that same shot a dozen times in a row.

[–]jmart1375 0 points1 point ago

I don't doubt the guys ability to do the ninja spin flip thing. I doubt he was able to time it with the kid throwing the dodge ball at him and assuming the kid would throw low enough for him to jump over it.

I saw a different video where some dude did the same flip this guy did but then threw the first pitch of a baseball game.

[–]Kintanon 0 points1 point ago

I'm not saying he could jump the ball every time, but he can do the flip and make that throw on target pretty much every time.

[–]jmart1375 0 points1 point ago

I'm saying the shading looking part is the flight path of the ball that is thrown at him.

[–]LuckyDuck77 0 points1 point ago

[–]PillowTalk420 0 points1 point ago

The funniest thing about this and similar pictures is the complete lack of a reaction from the people watching it happen, real-time, in the background.

Do they just see shit like this every day, or are they just on a lot of Ritalin?

[–]x1expert1x 0 points1 point ago

This move is called a gainer. Tried doing the same shit, well I banged my fucking leg into hard wood, think might have broke something and looked like a complete fucking idiot in front of everyone. I mean no one was even throwing a ball at me I just kicked up and fucking started crying

[–]SaberGaze 0 points1 point ago

[–]dhru98 0 points1 point ago

Thats tricking and he's doing a cheat gainer. This has absolutely nothing to do with ballet.

[–]sumuvamonkeyfiver 1 point2 points ago

It doesn't look like they're playing shirts and skins which means the shirtless guy in the back is just an asshole.
