Which is More Awesome: COOL SPORTS MOVE EDITION
Fun fact about me: I was a gymnast for ten years! Funnier fact about me: I was pretty bad, although I DID win the floor exercise for my age group at Nationals one year. Needless to say, now that my daily life consists of sitting in front of a computer and worrying about carpal tunnel while searching for the most recent news on kids taking bath salts and eating possums, I wish I was still more athletic. More athletic like say, THESE KIDS, whose sports moves in basketball and track are way cooler than anything I ever did. The all important question is, of course – which cool sports move is MORE awesome?
First we have third grader Austin Worthen, who probably made his dad cry with pride when he nails this half court shot just before the buzzer goes off. Somehow, his tiny arms are able to fling that basketball from what seems like a mile away, and the crowd (or what consists of a crowd at a basketball game between third graders) goes wild.
And then we have this dude. The star of this vid exudes a different type of pride that is just as cool in its own right. The title of the video “Dis is how we do track in Hawaii” makes me giggle in itself, but the actual climax of the whole deal happens when a dude in green gets tripped up and eats sh*t. Which sounds awful. Running your hardest, pushing yourself to win, sweating bullets, and then BLAMMO – you’re on the ground, elbows torn to pieces and pride destroyed, just dreading seeing your friends and family.
NOT THIS GUY, THOUGH. He takes the fall like a true hero, and turns it into something absolutely delightful. (Although I bet his elbows are still stinging like a mother f***er).
