Ok, "hiking" this ridge would be a big enough thrill for most of us, but what this guy is doing is completely nuts!
Don't get any ideas Richard!!! LOL grin

Enjoy!

Totally bogus. Too many flaws to be anything other than software manipulation.

Well, the idea was entertaining to say the least.
Sorry Scott!
I'll delete the post after the Laker game...

Thanks Mark. It's all about the entertainment value anyways. Hard to tell what's real these days. I figured this might be RP's next adventure...lol

I tried to delete this Scott, but the site wouldn't let me...sorry to all if this is a fake.

Looking forward to finding a wi-fi connection so I can have a look at this fake...

BTW: how did I pick up the Runner label? Or is it just the Crazy part that applies to me?

Hi I read the disclaimer it says 1 ' wide snow covered track with 100' falls .

The games people play. We were expecting a new pilot on one of the jobs, Someone ask how is he? The answer well flying out from the midwest he landed on a flatcar to save fuel.
After he got to the job we would tell him the other pilot landed on that mountain and he would reply did he shut down?

Out of Mesquite Nevada we would ride dirt bikes after work, one of the pilots was a desert racer so three of us took off. He was way ahead doing jumps and tricks. One trick was over a large jump he was able to land holding the bars and his body was off the bike , his legs in a sitting position forward , the best riding I had ever watched. I thought he would kick the ground like on a horse and land back on the seat. A standard riding trick , no he did better he let go of the handle bars and flew into space before touching down about a hundred times sliding and rolling across the desert .


OK So we just got to the Outdoor show in Salt Lake the hardest choice this winter will be do you want the $20 micro's or the almost crampons for $ 40 ? One row down about another hundred to go but some amazing products this year. One I thought was a electrolyte powder turned out to be a yarn that can add O2 to your system For the Do you have one of those? got to get!!!!

Thanks Doug

I wouldn't worry about it, Stace. People thought that shot of Half Dome from the Central Valley was a fake, too.

Fake or not, it made me suck my breath in! eek

Stacy, funny! I did think of Richard when I saw this...

Doug I have been trying to sharpen my crampons all week, think I've worn out the file trying. I'd like to see those $40 crampons about now!!!

Enjoying the web cam, today, too.

Hi Ok so the yarn! . I see the powder and the light show of a body transmitting heat loss and another showing either no heat or more heat but it catches your attention ,then the rocks and "stuff" by the powder and more test tools to show magnetic energy that we produce and the non tech guy explains this advanced reaction to me and how/why it works.


This a like sliced bread, first thing I see a use for would be slow the process of hypothermia , buy some more time before the blood retuns to the core and keep you going , then could it help with the effect of elevation on the system??? Now in steps the man behind the product and I can see that they are onto something very big it is not only this company is above the pack they are open to the mind / body effects of color of fabric , sleep and endurance and how to get more "work for less energy output" And they keep asking why .

I went onto the company website and read about the work they have on this material and the uses on the market.

www.celliant.com Read about Celliant fiber


Thanks Doug

Yeah, it is fake, but fun to watch anyway.

Oh, motorcycle riding, not running. I get it...

There are some pretty talented motorcycle riders out there. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them could actually pull this off.

Hey Laura I think you should Photoshop the crusher going up the mountaineers route. Much more dramatic than the road to the Red Lake trailhead smile

Maybe it wasn't real, but it was "real" entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
