@@Mateyhv1 wtf are you talking about. This IS extreme sports. Btw yes they also had skydiving motorcycling and other extreme sports in the 20th century, nothing new kid
Im thinking the score is there so if someone ties his record height but they have a higher score could technically be the new record holder. Maybe. Lol
I'm guessing they are scoring based on the dive itself, not the height of it, similar to how they would at a non record breaking height. Like imagine you did some insanely difficult dive perfectly executed, then the next guy just climbed higher to win. Not to discredit the dive, but I'm guessing it's just not what they score off of.
Rush Personal Training if you listen, they say he’s the FIRST one to dive, meaning there are others that will dive after! It’s a competition, this is what people had to do for entertainment in the 70’s, back when there was no cable tv or internet!
@Jenni J Haha. I used to do inspections, repairs, and maintenance on all sorts of construction equipment. And part of inspecting manlifts required going up in them and making sure all the sensors and controls worked properly. I didn’t have to go ALL the way up every time, as most height sensors kick in around 15-20 feet depending on the size of the machine. But sometimes it was fun to go all the way up and look down on the neighborhood. Lol Scary, but fun at the same time.
@Dottor Cisafrulli Because such records are complete nonsense. It's a pure ego show "I'm the best".. which I don't really mind, but it's just immature/stupid. Many people die from such extreme sports.

I grew up watching this sports program, it introduced the world to different sports that existed. This was not a time of instant information. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. I remember.
That dive was as near to perfect as possible considering the height he dived from, and one judge has the audacity to score him 6.5 .....what a sucker of a judge Well done Rick, I Salute you
Not only did he pull off this crazy dive, he also climbed 172ft wearing nothing but pink speedos and tight bands round his legs then stood on a wobbly platform that was barely big enough for his two feet for several minutes. Legend.

@@vedantsridhar8378 because it was an event and he wasn't the only one to make that jump. Four other divers participated in the event and attempted the same jump with different dives and form.

@@jerryyager2601 I was thinking that it had something to do with visualization, but the only thing that occurred to me was aim, and that really didn't make sense, as he can only go straight down. What you say makes more sense, but it's still hard to buy, as he is diving backward, and on top of that, the motions necessary are a matter of muscle memory. I.e. if you _know_ how high you are, you _know_ how to move your body in order to impact correctly. _But_ I'll take your word for it for now!
Top respect. He climbed up that insanely high and rocking ladder. Then didnt simply jump off or dive head first, he dived off backwards. Seriously WTF. This man has no fear. Laso's world record should be a different category for a jump NOT a dive, let alone a backflip. The judge giving a low score should be sent up the ladder to give it a crack himself.
I'm surprised his massive balls didn't displace all the water in the pool when he landed. That really made my sphincter pucker up with fright when he was up on that tower.
He got a 10 for climbing that high. A 10 for looking down that far. A 10 for getting ready on that trap door for a rat. And a 10 for living through the whole ordeal. That was incredible. Had to be scary climbing up there for real. Ladders shaking the whole time. And a great dive too. Judges were tough, guess you can always be cleaner. Great dive and video

Now I cant even fathom doing that from almost 200 feet high.
It is easier to do it backwards for the professionals because they can see where they will land if they do a flip
backflips are actually easier because you are in control of your rotation, can speed up or slow it down, and can see your landing
You are probably less scared if you do a backward jump instead of jumping in the void you see

I DARE THOSE JUDGES TO DO THE SAME.
I mean the others prob got scores of like 3 or 2 after that so he still won by a geat margin.
U do know it’s out of 7
I was about to say the same thing when I saw the score cards I'd like to see their asses up there jumping from 172 feet
ruclips.net/video/o9amakfmTHs/видео.html
It’s not out of 10 it’s out of 7
He does a 172 ft jump and the judges give 6.5
Diver:you give it a try
The judging is always based on form way more than height, that is the reason he did nail a 9.9.
Pretty kool
Lmao right! I said the same thing
Serious.. What the fk do you have to do to get a 10!

It collapsed 9 years prior
@@projectonyx6491 Imagine putting knee guards on like an absolute chad at that height.
Apparently the first ladder moved around so much, he had to ask which pool he was jumping into😀
Fuck the police, fuck Republicans, fuck Ron Johnson, fuck Capatalism, fuck this fucking country.
Imagine having the audacity to vote his dive a 6🤣
@BradynLee09 Even then, why require judges when it's a world record breaking thing he did? There's no need for judges, since he succeeded, he must get full points. Here it is, either survive and get full points, or die! Therefore judges must not be there for something like this.
@@vedantsridhar8378 because it was an event and he wasn't the only one to make that jump. Four other divers participated in the event and attempted the same jump with different dives and form.
@Onouphrios Bro just said he deserves full points
@Onouphrios Ah ok thanks! You sounded kinda rude, but thanks for telling!
Id give that shit a 5
Judges: - 3 points for surviving.
Haha
😂😂😂😂
Lol
That made me feel physically sick. This man gots balls of steel
He jumps from 52 meters im afraid of jumping from 7 meters

I’m scared of everything
Im scared of 10 meters cause i jumped once a backflip and i landed on my back to the water

yeah but 6.5 out of 7 is not too bad ma friend

Rick Winters was brave, courageous and super magnificent high diving at 172 feet, he has got the world record while wearing a speedo swimsuit, this is why that all men and boys should wear speedo swimsuits, they are the best swimsuits ever, great video!!
"he's moving a little too fast" dude how do you slow down in mid air? lol
Flap your arms?
@@RandomTask yeah imma start flying as I’m falling from the moon
He was talking about his rotation. Je was spinning to fast and was going to miss feet first and land on his back
with a rocket pointing upward to the sky for example
spread out? look at skydiving, you can drastically change your speed
Dude breaks the world record and they give him 6s and 7s 😂 wtf
My thoughts exactly.
Talk about a tough judge panel
That 6.5 had me 🤯
MrBIGJAM88 lmao and I bet judges won’t even go up there smh
chap weber boomer
chap weber lol wat?
I mean it was on the splash 😂
Imagine if he did a belly flop
Yes he would die because his ribs would rupture and puncture his lungs causing him to die
he ded lol
Ooof

It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Nerves of steel. The dive itself seems pretty difficult to do, but on top of that, he has to deal with a huge audience watching, the height, the wind, and the fact that his family could potentially see him go splat if he were to make one bad move.
Tough crowd. Dude survived and broked a world record. Still his highest score was a 7, guy even gave him a 6.5
its out of 7, not 10.
Honestly, rating such a such a tremendously dangerous jump is just rude and unfitting. You should just celebrate the achievement.
They are rating his form, the height is inconsequential.
He could have broked a leg or broken an arm too.
@@Mike-pj1kv And if he fell on his stomach or back, he could also have died!
80’s were a crazy time, not only were they diving super high they even got scored on their form.
ill give you a 5.7 on that comment. even in 2022, we're a tough crowd to please. ;)
@@Gizziiusa ........
80s motor sports were the best there’s ever been. A lot of stuff became too sterile after the 80s.
Thats so fucked man😂. Like hey i know you did this crazy thing that might've killed you and paralyzed you for life. But your form was a 6
@@dunkelwalde695 not really.
Rick: Does 720 Summer Sault from 500 Feet above while jets passed him.
Judges: The best thing I can score is 6
Somebody cleared that up already. In that sport judges can only count to seven, making seven the highest score achievable.
@@im3phirebird81 and that’s what he should’ve got a damn 7
@@amantejohnson6916 He wasn't perfect.
Rick Harrison: Im taking a huge risk here
6 out of 7. Doesn't change the fact that the judge is a coward and wouldn't even dare to jump from that high.
Just climbing to that platform barefooted and not slipping is brave! My anxiety kicked in from that camera angle....jeezzze thats high~
A big shout out to the producer who thought a crowd picture was more important than when Rick first breaks the surface after that epic jump.
Spectator reaction shots & fast-cuts ruin shows. Quit watching AGT bcs of it...
They do that on case a couple of arms float up first or he emerges with half his face hanging off.
Making sure they don’t broadcast a dead body to live tv

@@hurricaneaquatics I'm dying. Hahahahaha. Nobody wants to be the producer with that: "Oops... did we cut the Live in time, or did we just traumatize children across the country?"
This guy is a legend. Love how they are just having a casual conversation before he takes that huge dive.
Those judge scores are wtf!?
Yeah that should have been a 10 across the board. They are just mad that they don't have the balls to do something like that.
It’s scored out of 7

The way he survived is simple, really. His massive balls of titanium break the surface tension of the water.

Lol
LMAO
His balls were removed before the jump then reattached back on after to save his future children
1:25 no question about life insurance policies or anything?
I would give him 11/10 just for standing there.

I got sweaty just watching this dive, this man is a legend!
That's higher than jumping off most bridges. That guy really knows what he's doing. Great and brave diver. I kind of miss the 80s too.
Most bridges dont have a water hose breaking up the surface tension which enables this whole feat
@@imetzl9340 It has absolutely _nothing_ to do with surface tension. The result of impact with water---or with any matter---is a function of density and speed. The hose has no effect on his entry into the water.
@@bricaaron3978 it helps them visualize where the surface is.
@@bricaaron3978 The hose is 100% there to break up the water. Why else do you think its there? You couldn't do this into still water and be fine
@@jerryyager2601 I was thinking that it had something to do with visualization, but the only thing that occurred to me was aim, and that really didn't make sense, as he can only go straight down.
What you say makes more sense, but it's still hard to buy, as he is diving backward, and on top of that, the motions necessary are a matter of muscle memory. I.e. if you _know_ how high you are, you _know_ how to move your body in order to impact correctly.
_But_ I'll take your word for it for now!
This how the high diving board at local pool feels to me.
All FACTS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 6foot board for me. Damn.

Just seeing the height makes butterfly’s all over my body. Fear of heights
Top respect. He climbed up that insanely high and rocking ladder. Then didnt simply jump off or dive head first, he dived off backwards. Seriously WTF. This man has no fear. Laso's world record should be a different category for a jump NOT a dive, let alone a backflip. The judge giving a low score should be sent up the ladder to give it a crack himself.
And can you believe, he was only 17 at the time.
@@TPRM1with two children?
I'm surprised his massive balls didn't displace all the water in the pool when he landed.
That really made my sphincter pucker up with fright when he was up on that tower.
Burt Reynolds 😂😂😂😂😂
Burt Reynolds exactly
Lmfao
10/10
Burt, you nailed it!
He got a 10 for climbing that high. A 10 for looking down that far. A 10 for getting ready on that trap door for a rat. And a 10 for living through the whole ordeal. That was incredible. Had to be scary climbing up there for real. Ladders shaking the whole time. And a great dive too. Judges were tough, guess you can always be cleaner. Great dive and video
I know one thing and only one thing to be true in this life- you can always be cleaner.
Apparently 7 is the highest score they give in this rating system. Per other comments
and 10 for the mustache
He didn't shit himself on the way down, that's already way cleaner than I could be
Climbing that high, the 1st time, is impressive, then you are used ;)
Even if he climb all the way up and changed his mind about the dive, I would have still gave him a 10. God Bless.
