Dude Perfect x Paul Rabil: Lacrosse Trick Shots

Dude Perfect completed their first ever lacrosse trick shot video with help from Paul Rabil, and I’d have to say it’s quite good.

Web-goers from around the globe are starting to blow up the comments section with their thoughts on the video and lacrosse in general!

One of the shots made it on SportCenter’s Top 10 plays of the day on ESPN. Getting that kind of publicity is really going to help add momentum to lacrosse evolving into a mainstream sport. Alternatively, Dude Perfect is bound to increase their following by using the face of the sport, Paul Rabil, to get into lacrosse.

They currently have 5,902,098 subscribers on their YouTube page and with this video, hopefully they will crack six million!

Dude Perfect’s videos blend a perfect combination of actual trick shots and just guys messing around, which continues to find a way to always keep you entertained. They even ask great questions during their videos; like what the pros eat, their spirit animals and so much more. Let’s be real, every lacrosse player wants to know everything about Paul and what he eats is definitely high on the list.

Now I’ve got to be a little critical, some of the trick shots weren’t that impressive. The ones I didn’t care for involved smashing objects that are pretty easy to break to begin with. Skittles likely paid for that spot, but some more creativity could have done this video some good.

In my opinion the greatest feat definitely has to be the catch on the long pass over the stadium. For a lacrosse player it may seem a bit easy, but for someone new to the sport, having those kind of soft hands are a natural-born gift and completely mind-blowing. When Tyler made the catch I was impressed, especially when I saw his pocket… woof!

There might just be a reason he made the snag, these guys must obviously love what they do and they eat and breathe sports and competition.

All of the fun things they do in their videos are common in college guy culture. I know firsthand, most of their games and competitions are standard when kicking it with the boys at the Boise State Lacrosse house, Dude Perfect is just on a much bigger scale.

Everyone is constantly trying to one up each other so the bonding hours these guys put in is exactly like being on a tight-knit team. Everyone on the squad is doing their job to make sure they put themselves, and primarily the team, in the best possible spot to succeed.

Dude Perfect isn’t just going around aimlessly making videos and acting like total jocks. They have goals that range from being in a music video with Taylor Swift to being on a Wheaties Box. They’ve already been to the Fantasy Factory, met Lebron James, and got to hang out with the 2012 US Men’s Basketball Team. With this kind of determination who knows where you may see these guys in a few years.
