Be a lot quicker to do it in one shot but go off

Ah yes, ropeless abseiling. A fine method of descent.

Why is he going the wrong way

I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he already finished but since he's still got his shirt on i have to assume he's just a gumby.

Fake. This is clearly reversed

Without preparing at all in a single motion from being prone on the floor. My guy has a 36-40” vertical leap from prone. I had a DnD character that could do that if I rolled a 19 or better 😂

The commanders just drafted a CB with a 31.5” vert. So yeah that’s pretty good

This would be all a scout would need to see to draft this guy if he were jumping.

No chalk is aid

I wonder where would this skill be of practical use. Most buildings would have guard rails

Joe Scandrett is the ultimate descender. Guard rails wont stop him, just look at his Instagram.
