      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.

    I think what’s pretty wild about this too is that he went backwards. Anyone that has done a backflip or backwards dive knows that feeling of jumping off something without being able to see where you are going.
    Now I cant even fathom doing that from almost 200 feet high.

    • @wade2999

    Fun fact. After this record dive, Rick made it back to the Valley by three o’clock for his call time on the porn set.

    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

    Yes, he was up there a 172 feet. But he himself looked like he was six, foot 4 or 5. From up there I'll bet the water looked like he had to dive through a dime. Respect 👌
