Talentagentfriend

16 | 12 hours ago

No, they’re literally less acrobatic. When your body is that big it is a toll on your body. And they dont have much of a center of gravity.

CutLonzosHair2017 | LAL

12 | 12 hours ago

Nah, they’re always less acrobatic. Just physics. Vertical jump is always similar but there’s more mass to move in the air. Moving more mass takes more time, and they do not have more air time.
