zen Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 That's an incredible skill! No need to say that requires a lot of courage Ppl who think rationally would find it hard to see what's the point of doing all this but let's not forget there are ppl who think differently, take on the challenges and push the boundaries ..... And such folks are special
surajmal Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 dan osman (he actually died while bungee jumping in Yosemite - cord was left out in the elements and just broke) was another nutter. Here is him speed climbing: Wy3SuhEQHVg check out: 1:12
Lurker Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Stupid. Never quite understood the thrill of free climbing, but props to those who can do it without breaking sweat.
DomainK Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Stupid in my opinion. The bravest I would go is take the stairs to the third floor, nothing above that.
Stuge Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 its cool and brave as long as he doesn't fall .
hari504504 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 thin line between bravery and foolishness.. For example: a stuntman is brave if he has taken into account all the risks, understands how to manage them all and then does the act. Not just go - "hey that sounds dangerous - I am in !!" - these people are just dumb, darwin award nominees and winners many of them.
mhr123 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 omg... yaar mujhe tho 4 floors se neeche dekhne se chakkar aata hai.. They must be having fingers of steel... Brave men...
EnterTheVoid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Incredibly awesome. Extreme sports involve elements of controlled risks.
EnterTheVoid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 omg... yaar mujhe tho 4 floors se neeche dekhne se chakkar aata hai.. They must be having fingers of steel... Brave men... Excuse the shameless self promotion but these extreme sports are not as impossible as they're made out to be: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=274269
EnterTheVoid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Another example: Not as dangerous as being made out.
hari504504 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 ^^^ still requires some bravery to do it... but not plain stupid as climbing a tall structure without any harness.
nikred Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Excuse the shameless self promotion but these extreme sports are not as impossible as they're made out to be: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=274269 Its all good but what that guy is doing is a whole different league.
Prakat Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 lol at sree gamely comparing this guy with his exploits of skydiving via riding piggy-back on his instructor.
mhr123 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Excuse the shameless self promotion but these extreme sports are not as impossible as they're made out to be: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=274269 yah i saw those pics earlier when u posted... hats off to u mate , i know its not impossible but it requires ball of steel to do it... what u did i can't imagine doing it even in my dream. Regarding the climbing mountains or walls w/o ropes etc... requires something more than that , a miss timing can be fatal... normally it requires the highest form of craziness with high amount of skills.

But he is not the first to do it Mhr, others have done it before him. Is it any crazier than this guy?
hari504504 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 ^^if anything, its a scenic route to the exit door... most of us would probably be staring at a white wall while hooked to a respirator :haha:
