Monkey boy - how to get everywhere...

[MIHALS]

Don't know, if this is a repost, 'cos it's quite old, but everytime I see that, I'm amazed, what a human can do... if you're interested, I've got "some" more :wink:
BTW French guys: interested to translate it to subtitles? PLS! it's worth it!

yea, i remember this clip way back in the nighties - incredible thing that

translation: in the first part he's talking about how he "walks" on the streets (normally people do this but i ...), after that he describes how important it is to have a good physic - then some history, how it started and where he learned his moves.
Then we go to a place where other guys rule the streets, a lot of them took part in a movie about this discipline and now they earn their living with interviews, tours,...

Then we go back to David and why he himself can't make the money...yet. Then we can see how it runs in the family to be so smooth and stuff. After that we see some training with his gang. And the last thing is about how David is the only one to go from a four story building to ground level in a record 15 seconds

The sheer bravery of people taking part in this...hmmm..."sport" amazes me. i ahve seen a few clips in which they jump from one building to another 30 metres above ground.

A little like the stuntville commercial they show before movies here

Those guys are crazy, I hope they'll have money for titanium jonts when they'll get old but I think they'll have the money, plenty of movie makers will want theyr stunts in theyr movies 8)

While cool it kind of bothers me. There is a case where a 14 year old did this same kind of jumping but fell and got hurt. He was jumping from a city owned parking deck. At this point his father is sueing the city because they didnt have fences adequately high enough to keep the kid from jumping. Hopefully this guy takes his own responsibility.
