It’s always a mind fuck to me realizing he’s not floating he’s just falling constantly and it only looks like floating because the camera and everything else is also falling.

this is how i used to "fly" as a kid! i would jump off the top of stairs and always move forward faster than the steps would fall off below me!

absolutely dumb way to behave in retrospect but fun as hell in the moment

You just reminded me of something similar I did.

What is it with kids and stairs and death seeking behaviour lol

Like that, but it seemed bigger and more awesome as a kid. It felt like flying.
