Another interesting specimen from most_uniQue's video collection. Where do you get these from?!

The compiler of this video clearly does not quite grasp the concept of a Darwin Award.

I want to see what happens when you stop bouncing up and down! That thing doesn't look like much fun to swim down and fetch from the bottom...

I like his XP skin. A little Vista-ish, but better than the bog-standard colour scheme!

@ #8 there are no springs on a trials bike buddy! The frames have to be as stiff and rigid as possible in order to stand up to all the stress put through them

YEY for Tesco's in the background @ 2.24!

With any luck, the impact will have crush this guy's privates, rendering him unable to pass his less-than-smart-genes on to another generation and thus earning him a Darwin Award...

Rule Britannia!

Beardyman is awesome. Check out http://www.beardyman.co.uk/beardyaudios.html and listen to Tim Shaw Audio (from Kerrang): Beardyman doing THE MOST INCREDIBLE reversals ever recorded. He does a beat, then does it backwards. He's given a random word (in this instance, bongodrums) turns it into a beat, then reverses it. Fan-diddle-do-tastic!

If only that kid had used all those hours he spent rehearsing to do his homework and read a couple of good books, then he might actually stand a chance at leading a happy life...

Most Contact Juggling balls are perspex or acrylic: it's very hard to create a perfect sphere of solid glass without wrinkles or air bubbles! Acrylic CJ balls are also somewhat hardier and more scratch resistant (important because even a slight blemish on the surface of the ball destroys the entire illusion).

David Bowie faked it in Labyrinth!
Michael Moschen, an early performer often considered the inventor of modern Contact Juggling, stood behind Bowie during filming, slipping his arms through special slits in Bowie's costumes. Because Moschen was performing blind (he couldn't see his hands!), he didn't attempt anything too extravagant. When he's performing by himself, he's truly incredible, and would blow this guy outa the water! However, top marks to this dude for effort, as well as all the practise it must've taken him!

Wonderful!
Watch closely, and you can see his hands and feet hitting the wall first, spreading a slight ripple through his body, thus creating the impression that he sticks to the wall for a couple of split seconds...

@ #9: Nicely spotted

And the video is truly 1337! Calibration and getting the drivers to work must've taken ages though.

I see the beginnings of an all-new and all-awesome extreme sport...

At least until Red Bull comes along and "gives it wings" (commercialises it).
