  • - Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

  • We're The Slow Mo Guys,

  • and this week on "The Super Slow Show,"

  • we're going to showcase some people

  • at the absolute top of their game.

  • Filming some athletes.

  • Got any clever puns for this week?

  • Ath-leet. Leets? Like "leet," like--

  • Solid '90s Internet reference.

  • - Yeah. - We've got lucha wrestling,

  • sumo wrestling, basketball, skateboarding--

  • Yeah, I mean, you say that we've got wrestling. I was doing the wrestling,

  • - the skateboarding-- - Yeah.

  • ...all that stuff like that. You just stood there.

  • - What were you doing? - Moral support.

  • - You're not even good at that. - Never have been.

  • Something that always surprises me

  • is how much movement there is in the human body.

  • Yeah, even people that appear very skinny in real life

  • are actually quite floppy and fleshy in slow-mo.

  • - Yeah, we're mostly liquid, though, right? - Yeah.

  • So what happens if we take it to the extreme

  • and get two sumo wrestlers

  • to spar? Right?

  • Almost a thousand combined pounds of man.

  • ( Dan laughs )

  • So we got Yama and Byamba,

  • two pro sumo wrestlers.

  • So, guys, how long have you been doing this for?

  • Sixteen years.

  • Wow, that's absolutely incredible.

  • So I think what we should do first--

  • we'll have you guys go at each other

  • and we'll film it all in slow motion,

  • a thousand frames a second, on our Phantom cameras.

  • Uh...

  • Dan-- Dan loves-- He loves taking on new challenges.

  • Whoa!

  • - Look at that force. - I'm actually sore.

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • He just tossed him.

  • - Like an old sandwich. - Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Just picked up a 400-pound guy

  • and lobbed him on the floor.

  • That was incredible.

  • Playback.

  • They just look so planted,

  • like you couldn't move one of them.

  • ( grunting )

  • The way that they just effortlessly lob each other about.

  • Yeah. And they're both trying not to be lobbed as well, right?

  • That's the idea, yeah.

  • That makes it that much more impressive,

  • that they actually can be able to be lobbed.

  • - Oh, look at the salt it kicks up. - Wow.

  • The flesh moving around as well--

  • it hits the ground, bounces back off.

  • That's cool. That's the stuff we're after. Love that.

  • ( grunting )

  • You see how he's, like, slapping him

  • and then, like, lifting the hand away

  • and he's, like, trying to slap him again,

  • lifting the hand away.

  • He's got such big hands, by the way.

  • You see there, at the back, here, of Yama?

  • The flesh was moved around,

  • and it went all the way around to the back of his body.

  • - I'm sure one-- - The hand impact happened,

  • and then it went ( whooshes ) all the way around.

  • I'm sure if you traced it, one palm can be seen,

  • like, going all the way around.

  • God.

  • That arm was moving quite fast.

  • It was. It really was. It was some serious speed.

  • Really picked up at the end.

  • His flesh is still, like, hanging up in the air.

  • It shows you how quick it was 'cause his hand went in,

  • and Yama's flesh was still-- stood there.

  • Slapping faster than gravity.

  • Yeah.

  • Ooh-ah.

  • Oh, the rippling.

  • Skin is just getting moved around.

  • It's almost, like, two animals

  • that are built to go as hard as they can,

  • just these two guys are designed

  • to have that power

  • and hit each other with that force.

  • You're being called upon.

  • I'm ready.

  • You don't look ready.

  • Oh. There we go.

  • I'm definitely ready.

  • Good handful.

  • Is that the tactic? To blind me first?

  • Get a leg up, Dan. There you go.

  • Oh, thanks.

  • I think that means you're doing a great job.

  • All right, okay, that's good.

  • Straight out of the ring.

  • He did that with one hand.

  • He was like, "Get off it."

  • Glad you're laughing.

  • Oh, the impact.

  • I'm getting dissed.

  • God.

  • ( grunts )

  • ( groans )

  • Yeah, yeah. Points.

  • Here's your charge. You're giving it all.

  • Look at that ferocity in your eyes.

  • I'm going for it. I have to.

  • Oh, look at my jowls going everywhere.

  • ( laughing ) Oh, man.

  • - Yama: Boom. - ( Gav chuckling )

  • I'm happy that when we started this channel,

  • remember that conversation I had with you?

  • - Yeah. - And it led to this moment.

  • Oh, man. Who'd have thought?

  • I was like, "Dan, can you help me do something?"

  • Oh, look how high you are.

  • Just lifted me fully up.

  • Yeah.

  • Like picking up a baby.

  • At this point I was just like,

  • "Right, what can I even do about this?

  • The answer is nothing.

  • In your head, were you just thinking,

  • "Something's gone wrong here"?

  • This isn't how it's supposed to be.

  • Oh, man.

  • My skin just getting ripped around.

  • I like the salt flying up as well.

  • - Yeah. - That's great.

  • God, you know, my fingers bounced twice.

  • They're, like, ugh.

  • It's like when someone dies very cinematically,

  • - and it's like... - At that point I was like,

  • "Well, I've lost." You're just like, "Ah..."

  • "That's the end of my sumo career."

  • Yeah. Guess I'm not cut out for it.

  • Thank you, even though I ended up on the floor every time.

  • That was some awesome footage,

  • just sheer power clashing in slow motion.

  • Apart from when I was in the ring,

  • then it was just pathetic.

  • Well, then that it was one side of power

  • and one sort of piece of tissue paper.

  • I was trying so hard.

  • The first time I impacted, I pushed,

  • and I farted.

  • I actually-- I didn't want to say anything

  • 'cause I was just like, "Oh, God."

  • But I couldn't help it.

  • I was just like... ( grunting ) It's like, "Oh, no."

  • To be fair, you did ten times better than what I would've done.

  • Thanks very much, guys. That was a real pleasure.

  • Very good. Excellent performance.

  • - Thank you. - Thanks very much.

  • - Thank you. - Yeah.
