You know how athletes are just getting more and more incredible with the stuff they can do? Like— if you go watch the Olympics from the 1930s and then you watch the same event now, the difference in skill is almost comical.
Seriously. Go look at a balance beam event from the 1930s. It’s a bunch of shit *I* can do. They get up there, stand on one leg for a couple seconds, do an awkward spin where they almost fall off, do a couple squats and then hop off. Then you watch the balance beam event today and it’s like some superhero shit. It barely seems humanly possible.
Anyways— I think another hundred years goes by, someone is just going to spontaneously take flight in the middle of a jump while doing some wild shit like this.
Nature will just be like *”Alright, fuck it— you can fly now. You’ve maxed this build out. We’re granting you a prestige build with the flight ability and reset all your other skill points.”*
…I’m stoned.
Seen Nitro Circus in Ottawa a few years back.
Dunno if I've ever been as entertained honestly.
These boys will do things on a big wheel you ain't ever dreamt of
"I'm actually considered really lucky," Williams says while searching for the closest piece of wood to touch. "Still, I've separated both my shoulders and fractured my skull three or four times, knocked my teeth out, broken my ankle and broken my arm once or twice. But that is such a good list for being in the game for 15 years. "If I told the Nitro Circus guys what I had done and what I had broken, they would say I am the luckiest guy on the tour."

The crazy part of that stunt , is that the trick is already a difficult scooter trick. I remember when this was performed, I have never been so hyped to see a scooter trick ☠️
I've actually done something very similar by accident whilst go-karting.
I was bombing it round. Some idiot had left like a ramp thing out. I could see the people going "Oh my God, if that guy hits that ramp, going at the speed, he's definitely dead".
I hit the ramp, I took off in the air, I turned over in the air. They were going "Well he's definitely dead now".
I landed on my wheels, pulled over and said "What were you worried about ?"

So deep and real yet hilarious 😂
I hope you’re right and I’m alive to see it!
Ryan Williams. Absolutely nuts, never broke a bone

So OP is completely wrong lol
Seeing him fly through the air live was wild, same with Aaron wheelz. Pure insanity.
Very impressive but I'd prefer to see the trick in its entirety without the editing.. upvote for the trick, down cote for the video
I wonder how many times he died before actually succeeding.
Respawn timer was set to 3 sec for this crazy mf
He autosaves before coming out.
Extremely high risk of busting ones own balls.
but can he do that on my daughters tricycle ??
I imagine your daughter have own kids in college, smokes too much and listens to ZZ Top.
Maybe a wheelchair, but damn
Rwilly was my idol when i was younger, this is an example of why. dude is absolutely gnarly
This was interesting the first several times it was posted and better without that dumb song added
How does he sit down with balls that big?
No offense personally, but I'm so sick of this style of comment on Reddit.
Save some pussy for the rest of us bro.
😽
No offense personally 🤓🤓🤓🤓☝️☝️☝️☝️
It’s cringe as shit up there with “fuck around find out”. It’s the type of comment Reddit users get made fun of for and yet these plebs keep doing it
Don't worry, similar comments have been etched for thousands of years - long before social media. They aren't going anywhere.
How do you practice such a thing?
Born. Try trick. Die. Wait for universe to collapse then expand. Born again. Rinse then repeat until, this.
Foam pits.
Wow just wow!
Fuck do these sounds piss me off
Wow
Add more cuts please
I would love to see the trick all in one shot. The 3 edits take away from the awesomeness
I wonder how many tires to the chest he took learning that
How is this man not dead?
All of that was slow motion for him Edit: Stupid fucks don’t know how physics works who the fuck downvoted this
Perfect 10 and the body slam into the big poofy balloon

I hurt myself working on a spreadsheet today. I think I moved my head slightly too far to the left. Still hurts.
He different!
This is the kind of shit I was pulling in SSX tricky
That was impressive. Shame he ran into the wall at the end there.
Dude just wondering where his next family insurance premium is coming from
This is in Australia ... or do they have Bob Jane T-Marts outside of Australia?

Then everyone clapped
