Thru the Legs Challenge...

[stbob]

After getting bored the other day i attempted to entertain myself with the old thru the legs trick. Probably a good thing i chickened out. Time to build me some ramps before i hurt myself...

Lol. Yeah, that is a broken ankle or shin waiting to happen. Or at least a helluva lotta pain.

Yeah, I dont recommend that to anyone...especially with a 25lb Kraton 8S

This should be deleted and never attempted.. Kids people that want to try this do not ever try this it can be dangerous and life changing unless you wanted a permanent limp or be in pain forever..

I'm sure its safer then the tide challenge thing they did.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Far less painful than the "One Chip Challenge" I'm sure...

I had to look that one up. I'm traumatized by peppers so I tgink I'm good.

Id be far more worried about the demon coming out.

Exactly. My ex's son was in a field playing and a medium sized dog was playing rough and ran at him and hit him in the leg. It snapped both bones in his calf. Imagine the force of a hard RC car hitting you at speed.

I tell my son every time he takes a fast one out to be careful and never drive towards anyone or himself at speed. Only when it is going away from you do you gun it.

I've seen vids of guys doing speed runs standing on a 5" curb thinking they are safe then they drive close to there side lossing a wheel then getting a 60+ mph car that was probably more than 7 pounds smashing them in the face..Also was at a carpet track it was a small track 25' x 30' with a 3 foot high table to thy had a monster truck race were guys where running tmax converted to electric.. they had a bar attached to hall and people drank big time. this guys was plastered drove his aluminum Tmax off the table top right into this 6 year old spectator snapping his femur like it was a pencil.never seen that racer show-up at track again..but anyway ..just my 3 cents worth but do what you want.dont cry about how stupid you are when bad stuff happens..

 

[Tunedfrog]

I guess if you want to do something really stupid like this it is your business but at least don't do it when anybody else is around.

We all sound like a bunch of old fogey's lol. @stbob - You only live once. Be ready for a lot of pain

I just had to stop and think for a minute. I was really dumb when I was young. When I was a kid I rode my Diamondback BMX back to a place we called "The Gobs" which was a really old strip mining area. I was barefoot and we pushed our bikes up Pumphouse Hill which was like 50' high and very steep. At the bottom was a stream with a wooden ramp propped up by a 3 stack of cynder blocks. I went after a guy that had a chain guard flopping in the wind. When he hit the ramp I was 20' behind him coming full tilt. The ramp fell when he hit it, so I crashed into a pile of cynder blocks, then flew into his bike.

The impact of my foot with his chain guard ripped the inside if my foot open. My bike had the right side pedal broken off, front wheel was bent, and the handlebar broke at the joint. The bike looked like it was ran over by a car, and I had a 2 mile ride home through very rugged terrain with a vein hanging out of my foot. To make it worse, when I got home my mom told me to stick my foot in the tub to wash it off, she turned white as a ghost and passed out on the bathroom floor as soon as she saw the vein. I was 12 years old.

Not even going to go into the amount of stupid things I've done, can't even blame it on youth, I've done my fair share of stupid things later in life too. on the scale of stupid things to try, trying to drive between your legs isn't so bad. But sometimes these things just pop into your head and are hard to resist doing.

I have to give @stbob credit for wising up (not chickening out) sometimes that old survival instinct is a little delayed. I would have probably been laying in the parking lot trying to figure out how I was going to explain it to my wife.

I like the part in this where the guy says "you can see your tendon moving."

I have watched a lot of speed runs where people are too close to the action. I have had cars lift off the ground and gone every direction once the wind catches them. This is bad. The guy says "you can see your tendon moving".

Its definitely not a good idea. If you try it anyway then dont say we didnt warn you lol

Far less painful than the "One Chip Challenge" I'm sure...

Depends on the kit. Id rather eat the chip then get hit with the Kraton 8S again.... fr fr!!

 

[Tunedfrog]

I gotta agree with you on that one Wolf.

[Greywolf74]

Can you imagine taking a K8 to the face at full throttle?!

 

[Edough13]

I've done this a couple times just not on purpose lol was standing too close to the ramp and had to go between my legs or smash into them lol

My O8s came flying off a jump and just about ripped my arm off a couple months ago..
