Where did dock diving come from? I'm sure I can look it up on a webpage out in internet space, but I wonder who thought a dog jumping into the water should be a sport. I absolutely love watching it on TV, its something about those big goofy labs jumping into the water after their favorite toy that puts a smile on my face.
While we were driving this morning, my friend brought up the horses that used to dive into the pools in Atlantic City, and I am certain this is where the idea for dock diving came from no matter what anyone says. Take a look at this:
From diving off board in the 1920s....
To diving off docks in 2010..
What do you think?
Did those horses survive? That looks like a steep drop.
ReplyDeleteI do love to watch dock diving, though!
In all the years horse diving was going on, not one horse got hurt!
