Hurry - somebody get these guys a Dorito's sponsor.
-
The next video should be yall flying a jet, jumping out of the jet and rpg-ing the enemy jet, and then get back on your jet.
-
You guys missed one! firing while doing a tactical slide. that one is also iconic in a lot of video games.
-
True professionals. Kept control of the guns. Took their fingers off the triggers mid flight. Absolutely brilliant. Usually id be terrified watching people try this. But you guys are dope
-
imagine getting 360 no scoped irl
-
i was out walking with my buddy once and we had my air rifle with us just to kinda pop off at trash or whatever. he pumped it up abt 12 times and screamed “360 NOSCOPE!” and spun around, and instead of the thousands of square feet of concrete around us, he shot it straight into my foot. this was years ago and the pellet is still stuck in my foot. true S Tier trickshot. i’ll never forget.
-
The form of Mike's drop shot could be the new curriculum on drop shots. They way he threw the dump truck rear end out was impressive
-
I’d love to see a slide and shoot using one of those water slip-n-slides. That would be pure gold! Great video guys
-
You guys forgot the most iconic gamer move of all, teabagging the enemy while articulating your relations with their mom.
-
This is the kind of hard-hitting, journalistic inquiry I expect from Garand Thumb!
-
The fact he used MW2(2009) clips to demonstrate WHAT a Trickshot IS, makes me wish I could subscribe twice... My bond with Garand Thumb has just grown SUBSTANTIALLY😅
-
There is almost no greater joy than seeing a man IN REAL LIFE jump 360 no scope a sniper. AMAZING
-
Mike hits a single trickshot once with Micah and immediately wants to do an entire video of it. I love it.
-
Mike definitely looks like the main character as he was gliding through the air letting off rounds in slomo.
-
Anyone noticed how huge this man Mike has been looking? Good stuff man, keep up the great work 💪
-
Crushing every action dream I've had after plying call of duty and gaining a completely false belief of my raw combat experience, while educating and entertaining me, can't complain!
-
The power Mike has to get people on the internet to bully a company into giving out skittle stickers is as impressive as the sonic movie
-
Mike: I'm retired USAF and an avid shooter Micah: I'm an lifelong gamer.... and an avid shooter. I don't know why but that contrast between the origin stories of skilled shooters of the GT channel made me chuckle.
-
This looks soo dangerous! I love it!
-
imagine getting 360 no scoped irl. Mike really is the main character.Beautiful shots, both camera and guns!.
