Being pilot and co-pilot, the bond that Maverick and Goose share have inspired generations. Creating a completely new high-five technique that is now the only way to high five.


The Top Gun high-five is very simple yet sometimes hard to complete. But when done correctly it is the most awesome of high-fives. The correct way to high-five top gun style is to walk towards each other, raise the right hand. Without stopping, high-five the opposite persons hand and (the trickiest part) follow through with each person's hand coming down to your waist and "high-five" there as well. Continue walking like nothing has happened.

Yet something did happen. The best high-five ever has just happened. And people will notice, oh yes all bystanders will now respect you as gods among men.

When done correctly, there will be two solid high fives right after each other. However, the second high-five is the most difficult and if you do, and you will sometimes, fail the second high five. Sadly to say there is no going back, no redos. You must keep walking only to try again another day while all around you laugh at your failed attempt at doing something awesome.

Sometimes it is helpful to practice the top gun high-five with a close friend in private to get the high-fives down as to not embarass yourself in public.
