Amazing. What they don't show you are all the broken body parts and pain killers consumed trying to achieve some of those more daring stunts. Ow.

My Granddad told me to learn how to be very good in whatever I wanted to do. These folks ARE very good. Thanks for sharing the inspiring vid, Bob!

Thanks Bob!
I found them all believable, but I'm confused about the 'walking on water'.

Addendum to the "People are Awesome" title:

"Some of them are also partially or, in a few cases, fully insane."

Years of practice, progressing incrementally until the day one's ability matches the desire to do crazy s##tuff like that. Very cool, Bob.

The only way I could watch the first video all the way through was by trusting that Bob wouldn't post a video with people injuring themselves while attempting (in most cases) really crazy feats...
Did you notice they seemed to all be male? Laugh
And... why do humans seem to like flinging themselves off, over and into things?
push, push, push...must be a human thing...
