And you think you are Tough - I don't think you are

Post by AZgl1800 »

Watch this guy climb a rock wall and never once, touch the face of the rocks or boulders with his hands.

Fascinating - and at the same time grossly negligent towards themselves.
Wearing a helmet is not a luxury, when he tips over backwards during his performances, he bangs his skull against the wall unbraked and unprotected...

This was very entertaining and interesting ...even a little cool at the core point.

However, lol, I'm also waiting for someone else to upload a video of a motorcycle rider...riding a motorcycle ( as in operating it..not as a passenger) with shorts and a t shirt...no gear..no helmet..nothing but shorts, t shirt, and regular tennis shoes...WHILE only using his knees and feet ( no hands..what so ever) doing Motojitsu and RideLikeAPro drills.....ALL of them...successfully...WITHOUT falling down/dropping the bike

Yeah...good luck with that. Even as great a rider as Greg Widmar ( aka Fast Eddie) and Jerry ( Joe ) Palladino both are...I GUARANTEE..you..neither of them can do that and they both have been riding for many years ( Greg = 8+ years now....Joe..far more...Moto Officer Trainer in New York with Decades of experience ) and they both practice basically daily.

Regardless, I give the guy in the video some courage-respect though *Shrugs*. They haven't get giant plyers to my cojones and literally pull them like Goku's Tail in DBGT to get me to try it. :lol:

You know, that conjured up a mind image created decades ago. I only wish I'd kept the video clip, which is nowhere to be found nowadays.

London Palladium, red velvet curtain across the stage, red velvet valance and drapes, dimmed stage lights. The announcer introduces Special Robert, the audience applauds then waits in expectation, and waits, and waits... Suddenly there is a blood-curdling yell of "AAAAIIIIIIYYYYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" and the previously unseen Special Robert swings down from the rafters in Tarzan style, heading for the curtain. On the up-tick of the swing, Special Robert lets go of the rope, spreads his arms and legs wide and hits the curtain full-frontal... and sticks there, 30 ft above the stage, arms and legs still spread wide.

The audience sits there in stunned silence then breaks out into uproarious laughter and cheering as the stage crew try to scrape him off the curtain.
