Do not show this to the illegals

Was that him that is seen in the video?

A shame the guy died of suddenly.

Dead at 29. Baffling

WOW,,,,,, he flew 5 feet or more above the end of that stick,,,,,thats amazing!

Yup, he basically launched himself from the pole and just kept going up.

I was a bit concerned that the video would be about him getting impaled on the pole or something, but it was just likely the best vault anyone has ever done.

That's nuts!

Badass.

Bahahahahahahaha!

Thanks for the pin! :)

Wow

Is that a Record?

Proof walls don't work.

impressive. weird sport

:roflmao:

made my day

razor wire does......

Feel good post. Humans can be so awesome sometimes

I'm amazed there are not a bunch of people getting killed by the pole splitting and leaving a sharp point that impales the jumper. I'm always convinced that is going to happen when I watch it.

(WHen I was a young tarzan in my teens I would climb sumac trees that were growing on the side of a cliff that nobody seemed to own or care about. There was about a mile of this wild cliff area that didn't go straight down, but it was a very steep angle. If you climbed the tree high enough, it would finally bend over and gice you a ride through the air of about a 60 foot arc, then finally, the tree would snap off near the base.

My friend was not quite so coordinated, and he climbed a tree and it stayed straight for too long. He should have been trying to get it to start bending. Then his tree just snapped, dropping him directly onto the now sharp remaining tree trunk.

He was lucky and was only badly hurt. It could easily have killed him.

The wall just got 10 feet higher

Wow.
and democrats don't believe in individual potential- just villages of idiots.

This is proof humans are capable of greatness and that
they don't have to be born into a family or party to obtain it.

I'm going to show this to the fam.
