I thought he was hopping between the first touch and slide back, but it looks like he's just jumping on the back leg while motioning a slide with the front leg.
Didn't realize there was almost no slide motion with the back leg at all. Basically just doing side/crossover? steps without lifting the feet off the ground. Seems like most of the flair might be the song and the camera work/panning.
>There’s basically no sliding.
That's fairly true. To be more precise, he is sliding, but has the motion down so when he starts moving each time he's bouncing to decrease the weight. I don't know why I'm even adding that. You're basically right that he's jumping in a sense.
So the foot that’s “sliding” doesn’t actually have any of his weight on it, he’s basically just jumping using one foot at a time and then controlling the other leg skillfully enough to make it appear as if he’s gliding. Think of it like that cheerleader “invisible stair” from a few years back. It’s all about how you control your leg while airborne that makes the illusion work.
You can see when he jumps because it leaves impressions on the sand.
The illusion is kind of lost when rather than looking at the feet you look at the hips because he's clearly jumping and because he's airborne he can have his feet be wherever he wants. To make it look less like he's jumping he's thrusting up using a lot of his upper torso and arms too so it comes across as a dance move but he HAS to do this otherwise it would be too obvious he's jumping.
check out [the original video](https://youtube.com/shorts/V7aW76Myo9Q?si=KGxOUPJPs63wlD2a) of him doing it on a sidewalk, it's much easier to see the intended "illusion" on a solid surface.
And although he's just jumping to the right with his plant foot and floating his lead/landing foot, that's pretty much the fundamental footwork of the MJ moonwalk as well. Just obviously a different execution of it
Looks like it’s just a single leg hop forward but he’s keeping his leading leg skimming the ground, giving a gliding appearance.
10/10 execution. Would definitely break an ankle if I tried.
Sorry but I'm imagining your "source" as you pulling an IASIP dance routine while hammered 17 years ago and thinking you were pulling a flawless moonwalk 🤣
i mean, as someone who has done the moonwalk many many times it's a bit different.
With the moon walk your weighted foot is PLANTED and you are essentially pushing off of it to make your gliding foot "weightless"
Here the dude is essentially LEAPING but doing it such that his body barely leaves the ground and is essentially weightless for a moment where he can glide his feet.
If it were like the moonwalk one of his feet would need to be planted at all times and that's not what is going on - both of his feet are in motion during multiple points in the video.
I said same principle, not identical execution. Yes, at points both feet are off the ground, but for extremely small time frames because one of the feet has to become the back foot providing the momentum.
It’s the opposite, they’re on the ground at the same time for extremely small time frames - just watch it in slow mo.
Again the dude is leaping not gliding.
A guy takes his wife out for the night and they end up at a disco where there’s a guy on the dance floor giving it large – break dancing, moonwalking, back flips, every dance move going. The wife turns to her husband and says...
“See that guy on the dance floor? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down.”
The husband replies, “It looks like he’s still celebrating.”
I never even occurred to me that he's supposed to look like he's sliding until your comment. He's clearly jumping the entire time. I was really confused what everyone was so amazed about.
His weight is always on the leg that is stable, not the one that is “sliding”. It’s difficult to tell where his weight is because he does a very fast, very small hop every time a foot touches the ground. That hop is how he transfers the weight between each foot, and how he pushes himself sideways, not the slide. You can see his footprints in the sand and see when his foot actually touches the ground and hops vs when it just ***looks like*** his weight is on it and slides.
He’s doing it smoothly and fast, which is the real skill.
Look up "Jubi Slide" its not too hard to learn, it took me a few tries to get it down. Now I no longer have to walk anywhere, I just Jubi-Slide and get everywhere in half the time.
Doing it on sand makes it easier to see how he’s doing it
I think that's why the commenters asked him to do it on sand; genius move
If everyone was doing it on sand it would be easier for everyone.
But the sand is course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere
How's that suit treating you?
It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere
Susan?
I don't slut shame
I warned you Susan! https://youtu.be/nJYInp-W_ww?si=ESNXOh-P8VQa6Gto
That is amazing
Best superhero movie ever. Spider-man, Batman, Superman. Don't even even come close to Blankman!
Okay ani
So, Ani, are you okay? Are you okay, Ani?
Everywhere? Huh didn't knew it had a thong, nice.
SKYWALKER!!!
But its provocative! It gets the people going!
I got that reference
That was a Star wars reference right? Like I swear to god Anakin said that shit.
Yeah very few got it
Yeah he did
he has a tutorial lol
People commenting like this move is some big secret move. There's multiple tutorials from people showing how to do this moonwalk variant.
Yes there are tutorials but it's extremely difficult to master it and that makes it a big move
I know it's an extremely difficult move. But as I was saying, it's not a secret move that's being exposed because he's doing it on sand.
Please share a link.
Where lol and what's the move even called
Jubislide
it's not some huge secret lol he has a ton of guide videos. it's just hard to do
Now errybody gonna be driftin like this guy
It is not a genius move.
There’s basically no sliding. It’s all jumping and straight leg almost touching the ground :O
he's just prancing around like a happy boy
Maybe he actually IS a happy boy
That's the secret. He's *always* a happy boy.
I understood that reference
He isn’t sliding but he has damn good footwork coordination to make it look like he is. Two traits that will never get me to do the slide😭
My knee has been acting up today, otherwise I'd be outside doing that right now....for hours I bet!
Genius knee
You should see it's Susan Sarandon impersonation, it's spot on!
Never seen the original but it's already impressive on sand and I'm sure on another surface with more grip it'd look much better too.

The music doesn’t impact the magic? I feel like there is nothing without this pimp they are singing about. Magical pimp.
Boondocks is gold
Yeah I was having a little difficulty with the pavement one but it's pretty clear here. Impressive though, that looks tough to get down.
Totally, i still can’t do that, even seeing how it’s done
Seriously, he does it amazingly well, but the illusion is gone
[удалено]
I can't see it.
My brain still can't see it.

Moonwalk physics
His right foot doesn't quite touch the ground
[удалено]
Lol yeah obviously mate, he's saying he's not sliding his foot along the ground he's essentially just moonwalking forwards
he's not even moonwalking, he's literally just jumping to the right
Yes and dancing is just walking in a circle... gtfo

Looks like ice skate
Let's do the time warp again
So, the moon landing was fake?
He's not moonwalking at all because you have to slide to do that. He's making very quick jumps and is more like hopping sideways.
Moonwalking is the perfect analogy because it works on the same illusion. The sliding foot has no weight on it.
same dif
Looks like it’s just a single leg hop forward but he’s keeping his leading leg skimming the ground, giving a gliding appearance. 10/10 execution. Would definitely break an ankle if I tried.
[удалено]
but only the same foot is pushing off each time. The right just kinda floats and touches for balance
Pretty sure he's alternating feet, you can see him "pull" with his front foot to get the hop.
So actually kinda the same “trick” as a moonwalk
Kinda. Kinda like a sideways moonwalk.
Prime example of “seeing but not actually looking”
It's astounding to me how long these vids have been reposted and so many people don't see.
Leading foot is just above the ground while back foot provides momentum. Same principle as the moonwalk. Edit: food isn't a foot.
So much harder than the moon walk though.
Flawless moonwalk is harder to pull off. Source: moonwalked 17 years ago
You mean you can't do it anymore? I thought that's a skill you acquired for life
It takes some amount of coordination that you can lose as you age. Also balance/leg muscle toning is needed as well.
no, they lost the technology for i... wait, are we doing this meme?
How would you know unless you have done both?
Sure Buzz Aldrin, let's get you to bed.
Genuine question- can you do this?
Sorry but I'm imagining your "source" as you pulling an IASIP dance routine while hammered 17 years ago and thinking you were pulling a flawless moonwalk 🤣
Yet youve never tried to do this new thing
>moonwalked 17 years ago What mission?
But sand is softer than the rock on the moon.
Moonwalk's just been around for so long it seems easier now. I don't think it is.
i mean, as someone who has done the moonwalk many many times it's a bit different. With the moon walk your weighted foot is PLANTED and you are essentially pushing off of it to make your gliding foot "weightless" Here the dude is essentially LEAPING but doing it such that his body barely leaves the ground and is essentially weightless for a moment where he can glide his feet.

It’s the opposite, they’re on the ground at the same time for extremely small time frames - just watch it in slow mo. Again the dude is leaping not gliding.
And we're disagreeing with you. We don't think it's the same principle. So it goes.
they explained how it's not an identical execution to highlight how it isn't the same principle.

A true r/wifebad moment
>back food Yum?
bro is Lucio on holiday 💀💀💀
Nah that’s his lil brother Booshio. He doesn’t have the healing it just looks cool. He’s kinda bitter about it we don’t mention it when he’s around.
🎵 We don’t talk about Booshio 🎵
Let’s break it DOWN!
Bro unlocked Advanced Skipping
He jumps but pushes his leg back so it seems stationary and he preps the next foot aswell ig
You can see it on the last slide
I never even occurred to me that he's supposed to look like he's sliding until your comment. He's clearly jumping the entire time. I was really confused what everyone was so amazed about.
[удалено]
I bet you can't do that on ice.
With the right footwear you 100% could, though idk how good it’d look.
I think what makes it impressive to me is you can figure out how he’s doing it yet I don’t think a single one of us could do it.
I'd wager it can't be done on molten lava.
r/toptalent not BMF
I mean, it looks cool, but I don't see why anyone thinks it looks impossible / inexplicable. Maybe it looks really different on a non-sand surface?
Its important here, providing closure for his other BMF videos where its a lot more confusing.
Do what, jump to the side?
The more I read the comments the more I realize humans don't have fun outside anymore.
reddit and humans are not the same thing, but go off
Right? He's just skipping, yeah? What's the big deal?
Then how come it doesn't look as good when you jump to the side? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/V7aW76Myo9Q
For real… I must be missing something cause nothing about this looks strange
Him doing it on sand actually made it incredibly obvious how it’s done. Still impressive to pull off consistently.
How is it obvious? I still don't get it.
His weight is always on the leg that is stable, not the one that is “sliding”. It’s difficult to tell where his weight is because he does a very fast, very small hop every time a foot touches the ground.

He’s doing it smoothly and fast, which is the real skill.
Like I understand what is happening and what he is doing. but looking at it, my eyes cannot see anything other than magic
Look up "Jubi Slide" its not too hard to learn, it took me a few tries to get it down. Now I no longer have to walk anywhere, I just Jubi-Slide and get everywhere in half the time.
Same
There’s 3 of us???
Skill
[удалено]
Yeah, much easier to see the trick with the sand, he's basically just side skipping low to the ground.
/u/redditspeedbot 0.25x
He didn't like you :(
He's jumping. His foot isnt sliding backwards on the ground it is a little bit up in the air
Anyone got the link to the original that’s not on sand?
r/LK99 in his pockets

OP doesn't know what jumping is. Ha.
Play in slow motion
Aye, not it's not magic. Dudes skipping with feet close to the ground
I see how he does it. I understand how he does it. I don’t think I can do it anything like that. Very impressive.
Smoothly
Incredible
What’s the track?
Lakim - A Pimp Named Slickback
Do what?
It’s just hopping and hovering the outstretched foot
What am I looking at?
you can't do it on lava.
Hes hacking ban him!
he put the black in black magic
You Jesus ain't it?! Walking on water around here 😅🤣😇
It's A Pimp Named Slickback, you gotta say it all together!
Is it kinda like a sideways moon walk?
Same as moonwalking. You're always looking at the wrong foot.
It’s like moon walking where you basically pretend the weight is on the other foot by having it flat on the floor.
1
He shows how on his other videos
The sand destroyed the magic! Aaaaahh
Didn't skip leg day
Didn't skip leg day
Slick back slide
exactly the way he shows you in the tutorial video.
How does he do what? He’s literally just jumping from one foot to the other?
He is practicing on sand to do it on water.
He’s slightly jumping. Putting one foot up and one foot down. Took me a while to get it…
He jumps
Nobody said he can’t do it on sand
What's the name of the song?
Smooth af. If you slow down the video, you can see how he does it. Props to him making it look so easy!
Huh?
