I could stomach the first 40 seconds then had to quit when the juggling started
FT It took me 3 times to finally sit through it. First 2 times just could not watch it anymore. That journey down, OMG.

I drove around a circular brick border around a flower bed yesterday, and thought about that video. So many things could go wrong...
Have you seen the Arrow? WWW

Watching it didn't bother me particularly (I used to work with Radio / TV towers for a couple years in my teens), but that said, the guy is still "bat-sh*t crazy". Even on the towers, I used a belt / clip harness, and let's face it -- anyone who rides unicycles is a little weird, if not mentally suspect from the get go (in my book), never mind doing so on top of a smokestack... Sheesh! Cheers, 4 <S!>

A crumbling smokestack for sure, watching the decent, makes you wonder how they got up there.

I had no problems watching the video. If dumbarse or his idiot buddy had fallen, I doubt there would be a video on YouTube. Also remember that the GoPro's "fish eye" exaggerates the sense of height considerably. Try looking down from the edge of the Watzmann east face, which is 1800 m of straight wall.

Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?
