The GIF Thread, v. Do Over

[aprilethereal]

awesome

I believe you have the same contraption in your house, although it's not sauce that it's squirting. At least not that kind of sauce.

I don't think he needs an extra contraption for that

*I love that my GIF is being so thoroughly analyzed!*   

We will get to the bottom of this.

I think he starts off jumping off the wall at the far right.  This is nothing compared to what the guys at Cirqe de Soleil in Orland do.  The trampoline stuff they do is much crazier.  I dont see why this is a fake.

because:

when he jumps up from the right side, you can see him accelerating while in the air which doesn't make any sense physically.

[eric42434224]

I do not see the evidence of acceleration, and know that it is physically possible, so I just do not see a reason or support for it being a fake.
Not saying it isnt, I just dont see why or how it has to be fake.

This looks pretty awesome:

If it leads to more gifs like that, then I'm in favor of it.

My friends would totally do that. West coast rednecks for life!!!!

That's not that smart considering all the padded launch chairs just a few feet back.

I watched that gif way too many times.

Aside from looking amazing -- doesn't that look fun???   

Absolutely.  But how is he not losing momentum? He bounces 3 times and gets the same amount of air. I dun understeend feesics.

He does lose momentum. But unlike a metal ball or something, our bodies are able to store potential energy and release it at the right time. How else would we even be able to start jumping on a trampoline? it's not because he lands on his back that he's not able to add some energy before he takes off again.

Whoa. Genius.

I'm really curious as to how many attempts that took.

Looks fake.  The trajectories change from down to up when it isnt in view.

Nah, I think that's legit. That's what centrifugal force does... I think

[eric42434224]

Not only would gravity cause the frisbee to decrease altitude), the centrifugal force would cause the frisbee to shoot out the opening between the two structures)

There are two kids hiding behind the walls.

[Chino]

There can't be a other people behind the walls, you'd see the shadow of the one on the right.

Nahh the shadows are going the other way, two kids could be to be hidden.  I, too, think that this is staged.

[Chino]

But watch to the end when the thrower runs to the right... His shadow is clearly distinguishable and quite large.

As long as someone is ducked down close enough to the fence, the shadow of the fence could easily hide them.
But it does look like it could be real to me. A fluke chance throw that may have taken them forever to get, but it could be doable.

[eric42434224]

Do you see the trajectory of the frisbee as it goes across the opening?  It is heading DOWN....and heading down quickly.  You cant seriously think it then turns back up, defying gravity and inertia.

I'm not a physicist...but are you taking into consideration the "spring" of the plastic bouncing off the concrete?   Surely that must factor in somewhere.

It does look crazy, and might be fake, but I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

edit:

Ok, easier to judge from the video. I thought it was hitting the first wall, but it's curving along the wall the whole way.

although it does appear to be heading in a downward trajectory across the opening, the frisbee also appears to be tilted upward slightly as it reaches the second wall.  My guess is that the friction between the high revolution frisbee and the concrete caused it to climb the wall as it went around the second turn.

looks real to me.

[eric42434224]

The friction would cause decreased speed and lower altitude. 
Also, the frisbee would go STRAIGHT once it leaves the first wall.  It will not continue along the curved trajectory.
Totally fake.  This doesnt even pass the eyeball test, much less physics.
