What's the point? You can do all that with your feet and more.

He gets an foot or so of height, no big deal. Plus the tricks he throws are readily out classed by most divers anyway.

This just seems like something you'd do while messing around on a summer afternoon, rather than any legit sport.

yea that was pretty pointless, its not like he could do that much more with those on anyways, it just looked like it made it harder for him

the added foot or so of extra height would be nothing compared to how slow those damn things would make your rotation. seems pointless

1) That guy had on the snuggest fitting shit I have ever seen.

2) Those guys thought they were changing the world.

a trampoline on the edge of a platform would cool also.
