Not sure why but there's something beautiful and majestic about a human conquering his own obstacles. It's like a dance between man and the stuctures he's built. It's saying, "Life finds a way and life will go on." Walls can not hold our spirit in. Much like a blade of grass growing in between a crack of concrete.

. . . until you fall and crack your head open on that concrete. :grin:

I wonder if these guys will be as beautiful and majestic when they're 29 and have no knees, ankles, or hips left. I dunno, I guess I'm less than impressed (though for full disclosure: I can barely jump off the last step of a staircase--I got one of Rowecine's dollies just to get to the bathroom and back. When someone invents a pvc-switcher I'll also wash my hands).
 
Flat out, I love these guys. Love them. That clip was better than any action movie (except maybe, Ong Bak) that I've seen in years.

Thanks for showing me this.

And once upon a time I remember thinking it
was cool when Michael J. Fox would slide across
the DeLorean...

How times have changed.

These cats definitely have one-upped Jackie Chan.

I would also love to film these crazies, but would not
want the liability that would no doubt follow closely
behind them.
 
Un-freaking believable... these guys are amazing! I just want to know who first said, "Hey, watch me jump across these buildings!" How do you decide to do something like that? Very impressive.
 
This is all I've talked about all day... I couldn't wait to get home to see if there was anything else up. Thanks for starting this thread Chapman.
 
CallaghanFilms - Is that video for real? An old woman walking and a jerk in a Mercedes honks his horn at her. She then makes his airbag go off with one swipe of her grocery bag. Seems too setup for me. But it would be an expensive setup since replacing the airbag on a Benz would be a couple grand.
 
I dunno, guys...

I watched it several times. The kids that were skateboarding would have had to be in on it to.

I think it's a large handbag, but who knows-maybe the old girl was just lucky...
 
Gonna go with fake on that last one. there was no cloud of talcum powder going off, no facial burns on the guy from the impact of the bag, (those things open fast!). its funny, but I'd say its staged.
 
I didn't want to get into the symantics of it, but if an airbag goes off and you're wearing sunglasses... they're probably gonna' get broke. They'll knock you out if you're too close... or kill your child if he/she is too close... that's why kids in the back seat.

Also what were those kids filming? They can't even do a lousy Ollie... and no skater would waste time in clear sidewalk. Rails, steps, bowls.

On a side note... that "nearly good" website can cost you hours. I found another city jumping vid... but it 'aint worth posting except for one little jump.
