Sam Fricker swaps poolside laughs for matching forward flips
Two synchronised springboard attempts give his latest diving Short a start far beyond the channel's usual pace.

Sam Fricker diving
Sam Fricker and his diving partner are laughing before they step onto adjacent springboards. Then the casual moment gives way to coordinated movement: walking out together, bouncing and leaving their boards at the same time.
The Short, titled "Sam Fricker diving", has drawn roughly 67,000 views in less than a day, running at about seven times his usual first-day pace for the format. It needs no introduction or commentary. Music accompanies the pair through a forward dive, before a cut brings them back to the boards for another attempt, this time with synchronised front flips and a pike into the water.
Viewers pick out the pair's synchronisation and the smiles before the dive. That opening gives this clip its small human detail: before the matching movements, there are two people sharing a laugh. For Fricker, whose most-watched Shorts repeatedly carry the simple title "Diving", the sport itself remains the attraction.
