As soon as he got over the road and I saw the cars moving under him, it was time to turn it off. Also, my balls have crept into my body.

that made me break out into a sweat

bobroberts: Green screen. I can tell by the pixels.

This^^

Growing up I I never even liked the monkey bars really.

You're not playing with a full deck with a hairdo like that.

why...

Dude is working without a net on multiple levels.

Push me out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a parachute and a reserve, and I'll be fine. Not even a drop of sweat... just a hell of an adrenaline rush. Put me 100 feet or more above the ground without a railing or a rope, and I'm about as far from fine as a guy can be.

Seriously, that scared the shiat out of me.

I don't see what the big deal is. I think I could probably just sit there on that seat like that and... OH MY GAWD.

Paul Phoenix Not impressed.

"I fight Bears!"

Damnit, now it's going to take me an hour to unpucker my butthole from fear...

I saw that dude at the circus a few years back. He was the headliner but he wasn't the highlight. The horse guy fell off his horse three times and I read in the paper the next day that he cracked his head and retired. Also, I got cussed out by the girl who rides the elephant.

He probably does the same things from a regular trapeze which is 30' off the ground. Dunno if his regular act requires a net but even if it does I am sure he has performed similar moves without one. I believe 30' is the max height for just falling off of something to be lethal. Crazy Paul Tekken Hair probably figured why not? I think I would be more afraid flying the helicopter hoping I didn't do something to screw up my friend's act.

Also, boner was... distracting... :/

That made me a little sick, honestly. And that was BEFORE he started doing tricks.

Was going to come here to say that, but then got distracted by the Guy On A Buffalo episodes that followed. Had to watch the whole series again.

/ Guy on a Buffalo!

that was the greatest thing ever. It's like a thousand chuck norris' getting roundhouse kicked by, well, by a guy on a buffalo & such.

argh

The second he was high up in the air all i could think was, when is he going to land? For the love of god land already!

The size of his balls was apparent.

Bello Nock is amazing. He's amazingly strong and apparently fearless. He's been doing this type of stuff since he was a tiny kid. We saw him when my boy was 5 and four years later he still remembers Bello. Cheers.

pudding7: What is a "circus"?


It's a large event with animals and tents, but that's not important right now.

Yeah...that's Bello. Saw him with Ringling Bros when they came to town several years ago....he was pretty amazing then too.

I don't get it. What was he doing that every kid doesn't already do on monkey bars every time they go to the play ground? Granted, if you have a fear of heights, then I guess just watching the video is a problem, but seriously...what did he do that was so cool? Hanging by one foot? Granted, I don't have the opportunity to do it hanging from a helicopter, but it's not like that's a difficult feat for anyone.

Seriously, is it just because he was doing it from under a helicopter and there was no net? It's not like he was doing swinging jumps. Or hanging from his testicles. Okay, he was sporting some awful hair...

I want to see two acrobats hanging ~50ft down from two different helicopters do the "swing towards eachother and switch trapeze" thing...
