That guy understands the "Scandanavian flick" pretty well. Notice how he sets up for corners.

I think it's more an issue of the grey matter to cojones ratio. The folks on this forum have the latter. However, unlike the guy in the video, they also have the former.

It is an awesome video documentation of a death wish.

Having been accused (he called it "diagnosed") of having a "death wish" long ago by a professional, I can confirm that now all I seem to have is a Nap Wish.

I guess that this would be a good example of "momentum driving" to share with Dr. Pain?

Yeah, well, ya know Dave . . six year olds haven't really grasped the idea of GRAVITY yet. That and they heal faster than us "old people." To a six year old, even 30 is "ancient" and if they don't get at least one serious bruise or bleed during a baseball game, they didn't play hard enough. Yeah, it's all about relativity.
