Wow. They should get a bit of that action into the Tour de France. That would jazz it up as a spectator sport!

Danny MacAskill World famous in Scotland!! This would be the best vid of his I've seen yet. Thanks Dennis for bringing this to our attention. Warm up for guitar eh, it would certainly help with my vibrato I'd be shaking sooo much lol

This is the the preferred Swiss method:


Werner Günthör Swiss 3x World Champion shot putter in training at our national sport school where I have the privilege to work on occasions. He's 6 foot six tall and must weigh over 2 64 Lbs! That's 120 Lbs he's got on his shoulders. An awesome sight!

Danny is absolutely incredible! I took a close look at his elbows... no scars or blood... how is that possible!

...it would certainly help with my vibrato...

Dennis, I found the video you linked to really touching ... didn't recognize you with the helmet though, and I would have thought this hobby would have given you much more of a soprano voice :)

All these videos are a hint that we can surpass limits that we previously thought impossible to get past ... and we might apply that to other things.

Just an anecdote ... last year I was walking outdoors in a public area near a 10 foot high stone wall ... suddenly a young man passed by, actually running on the wall, perpendicular to the ground. He did that on and on, in a series of very wide arcs ... up from the ground, then trot on the wall, then agree with gravity and come down ... and repeat. At that time I didn't realize he must also be a guitar player.

The following video reminds me of that ...

Wow, very cool! The imagery is spectacular! Thanks for sharing...

(my whole body hurts just watching but that is a totally separate issue ;-)

I don't have a bike. So I warm up by doing a 1/2 marathon, swimming to Tony's place or standing in front of the heater; you know...whichever takes my fancy at the time.
