Awesomeness.

While no animals were harmed in the filming of that I'll bet more than a few kids learned some hard lessons.

Wow! I totally suck.

I worked on some pricing sheets today and ate a bowl of Cheerio's for lunch.

I have no reason to disbelieve a lot of those, though I know the baseball interview foul catch is a fake. Makes me wonder whether some of the others are.

I'm pretty sure there is a lot of genuine awesomeness there, though.

What are these reaction times you speak of? My coordination peaks out at heel toe downshifting.

The girl jumping into the canyon freaks me out. And the freaky kid doing the splits on the skates is going to regret that a video was made of that.

Yes, she made me jump. I had no idea what she was jumping off of. Did she have a harness on? I never went back & looked.

Well if that was me, I could have held on to the rope with my butt cheeks. Talk about pucker...

My butt cheeks would have gotten pretty darn slippery rather quickly after I jumped.

I'd pay serious money to see the out takes-blooper version.

Skip over the first minute or so. Clip in question is at 1:50 where the girl jumps.

And a much better video with fun music and HD: http://youtu.be/fdJc1_IBKJA

The huge ollie down the steps at the 1:37 mark is on the Louisville waterfront just a few minutes from my house. I can't even begin to tell you how big that is here is the full clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhitbE4zsNU

A snowmobiler died from injuries doing that flip.

And he was a professional.

I guess everything has it's risks.

A lot of that stuff bordered on the unbelievable, but I'm sure most of it is real. Like ransom though, I can't help but wonder if some is faked. We all know the baseball catch was faked.
