Splashman Cannonball Contest – Part 2

it may not be an Olympic sport but the
Cannonball is definitely an art form hi
I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
speaking with splash men about the art
of the Cannonball how important is the
element of surprise to a cannonball it’s
a big big factor in the winning of a
Cannonball competition because you need
not only to be a great baller with a
great splash but you got to show the
crowd what you’re able to do if you’re
just flashing you’re just done old
school bummer that just flesh you gotta
show people you can make ways not only
in the water but in the crowd too is
there a perfect time to perform a
cannonball some people might say not
after lunch but that’s false every time
is a good time for a perfect cannonball
with a great bowler how important is
yelling cannonball to the jump not at
all that’s part of the old school
culture of cannonballs right now you
have to design your own way of showing
people hey people I’m telling you I’m
cannon balling right now and I’m the pro
are there different cannonball
techniques the official and original
technique is the Tuck position where you
ride your knees before entering the
water and but they are a variation like
the flat belly jackknife with only one
leg and other variations that are made
up by people why is in cannibal an
Olympic sport is the world just not
ready yet I would return to question why
is our Olympic sports nut part of
cannonball that would be a good question
so you’re going to show us how to train
for the Cannonball right first of all
contemplation you feel the water you
feel the chairs you feel the people all
around done next step visualization I
actually see myself jumping in the water
I see myself going up in the and getting
in the water while talking next step

disperse my energy today I’m gonna show
us the perfect animal the most perfect I
can achieve because you know i’m just a
superhero I’m not God
