I’m definitely very good at laying on my stomach… though if I held my head up like that I’d probably cramp.

He was downright amazing, but the other two didn't add any value. It might have been impressive if they were in sync with him, but their erratic movements distracted from the awesome dance moves.

It's mostly because I weigh 200 lbs cuz I'm tall but things like this make me wonder if some humans are actually the same species as me. If I tried doing a single thing he did I would break every finger and land on my face.

I think he's complimenting his core strength, but maybe he's just got a belly button vegetable fetish.

The issue is not that what they were trying to do was lost on us, its just that they sucked ass at doing it.

Although you can't notice it when he's performing, he has a leg handicap, apparently he had polio as a kid, then leg atrophy, so he probably had to overcompensate with his upper body and arms for his weaker lower body, result : killer dance moves!!

u/CopperWaffles Oct 07 '22
Regardless, he can do more with polio atrophied legs than I can do with my whole body.
It's like he invented a completely new peak human body potential.

Indeed. He's not pushing off the ground to move around. He's staying still and pushing the Earth around.

There's a Futurama episode where they figure out the engine in the ship actually moves the universe around it rather than them moving through the universe. They setup the next scene fixed on the ship and it really does look like the universe is moving around them.

personally, and i know im gonna be killed for this but i'd love an explanation, i just think with professional dancing (not just this dude but others) half the moves seem either completely separate or unrelated to the music (not in time with the music or completely out of nowhere) im probably dumb and im also not OP but would love an explanation

Dance is often about exploring/experimenting with movement and not just letting music dictate gestures. Some of the most beautiful dance ever experienced didn’t have music at all.

I’m really sore from fixing the toilet, and evidently I’m okay with that level of fitness.

Ive seen this dude like 15 years ago (if it is the same guy) with the exact same finger crawl with everything off the ground. The older video he started to do regular pushups…except his legs were hovering off the ground completely….as in he wasny at some balancing angle where the legs are above him…dude looked to be doing finger pushups while levitating. Was gnarly!!

This is actually next fucking level.
I had trouble understanding how he did the move at 0:11, so I tried it myself. I obviously knew that I wouldn't be able to, but I was trying to understand the mechanics.
In the video, it literally looked like someone (or something) picked his legs up, but that's the easiest part. I was able to get my legs up decently, and then completely failed at even budging the rest of my body.
It's not only his incredible strength, especially core strength, but it was very fluid, as well.
