I call shens on some of those. Like the cheerleader through the basketball hoop? yeah, no.

[dre1507]

lol. i was most impressed by the little girl parking her trike.

[nissangirl74]

I call shens on some of those. Like the cheerleader through the basketball hoop? yeah, no.

as long as her shoulder / hips are less than 18" wide, she'll fit

I have a hard time believing that one too, just stating the facts

[alms24sebring]

Very very impressive some of those. I call shens on only like 2 or 3 of those. Impossible skillz..

[Dattebayo]

I was gonna say, people usually suck.

But I was impressed. The guy who dove into a kiddie pool is ridiculous!

[downedzephyr]

The running on water one was for sure a hoax, there was another video that showed how they did it. The 3 basketballs balanced on that guy's head looked like CG too. Other than that the rest is awesome!

[RCA]

The full court basketball shots were BS and some weren't impressive (ex Running on water dude) but most of them were epic. Good song to boot.

All that stuff was cool but that little girl was the best!

[orangeNblue]

I'm going to stop there, I really like people who are really really good at whatever it is they do.

My friends and I tried doing the running on water thing for like an hour while we were at the lake partying. A lot harder than it looks. Especially after 3 shots of everclear.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Most people are pretty crappy... but some people ARE amazing.

Most of those were real, but as mentioned there are definitely a few fake ones, like the guy who hit the basketball with a baseball bat, and made the basket from like 50 yards away... yeah no.

Wasnt that basketball clip on the Nike And1 commercials? It looks possible with enough strength and a good ball. Just fling it up high, it takes mad targeting skillz tho. Humans cant run on water. Totally a very shallow part of the river, I mean you can watch him step on the bottom because he is still pushing down with the leg even tho his foot was stopped. My favorite one was the baseball bat swing.

Speedy..... Those were all awesome as hell! (excpet for coolest man ever)

[Bmore-coupe]

Danny MacAskill is pure awesome. I think that I like this video of his better. Amazing scenery and amazing skills.

[Speedy7_7]

Yea, "Way Back Home" is awesome, I just posted the Inspired one because it was the video that introduced me to MacAskill.

And as for the "coolest man alive" I would say his stuff isn't as polished as most, but he can do so much different stuff.

[sentrastace]

I call shens on some of those. Like the cheerleader through the basketball hoop? yeah, no.

as long as her shoulder / hips are less than 18" wide, she'll fit

I have a hard time believing that one too, just stating the facts

the moment i saw the cheerleader through the basketball hoop, i looked up the diameter, which is 17". The girl would have to be like, 7 years old in order to pull that off. I keep squinting. lol.

I'm not so sure about some of the others but dang they look cool.

[sentrastace]

this makes me miss that show that guinness book of world records.

[TurboSauce]

I call shens on the rotate of the baseball bat and catching it

[Bmore-coupe]

I call shens on the rotate of the baseball bat and catching it

I dont know.....looks pretty legit. I am no expert of physics, but it looks possible

I call shens on the rotate of the baseball bat and catching it

There isn't much reason it can't be done. Since most of the bat's weight is going to be located near the center of mass (the handle end is relatively light), it should be relatively easy to induce a high angular velocity once you have the center of mass moving. All you have to do is provide enough force to reduce the translational motion of the center of mass to zero and increase the angular velocity. Both of which is done by placing the right amount of force on the handle of the bat in the opposite direction the center of mass is moving. It probably hurts a little to catch it though, but totally doable.
