The Human Spider - He is MAD!!

[toon_mad]

The Human Spider is coming back on tv on monday i think. The guy is insane, for anyone who doesnt know what he is about, let me tell you in short, he freeclimbs tall buildings and structures with no ropes, harnesses or safety nets.

How he has the guts i do not know, but im looking forward to him scaling some more insane buildings! I think he is going back to japan or somewhere, which if he gets caught again will face a prison sentence - i dont know how they will stop him if he is half way up though!

I'm looking forward to watching this. He's aiming to try and climb the petronas towers IIRC.

 

[Martins]

I can see why he needs the chalk, my hands sweat just looking at the photos!

 

[PardonTheWait]

He is a fantastic crazy bonkers French type.

I came to the conclusion a while back that French people are awesome and mostly completely insane.

Bloke who kicks footballs at people in the street, also does real life mario kart

FRENCH

Bloke who climbs buildings for yups with no safety equipment

FRENCH

Blokes who made a sport out of falling off of buildings

FRENCH

Lunatics who did pullups off that massive crane on youtube

FRENCH

Bloke who rides the trials motorbike up stairs and off bridges in city centres

FRENCH

Bloke who covers himself in rollerblade wheels and rolls down mountain passes at 50mph

I love the French. They're mental. Top nutters.

[M-Hammond]

don't sneeze is all I can say

 

[toon_mad]

[Rabid Wolf]

Isn't he the guy who suffers from vertigo? He is good but a total loon.

That's what gets me, too.. surely that's quite an effort to hold that... He could literally fart himself to death!

I'll tell you what he'd do if it rained when he was halfway up.

He would DIE

That's how mental he is and that's why I love him so.
