over the top with mattias schlitte

Yes, this video is 8 minutes long. No, you don’t have to watch it all, but you do have to watch the insanity that is on full display between 1:00 and 1:20.

How is that even possible!?!? That skinny dude has a single gorilla meathook! My theory: he got rooked in one of those cruel ”Monkey’s Paw” type of wish making scams. I first became aware of this strangely unbalanced dude via UniqueDaily.com where they had a picture of him and I said “Fake! Totally shopped!” I never would have believed that such a thing was possible had I not found the video evidence.

bj penn might be a little more athletic than me

…maybe just a little.

a fun thing to try

Step 1: Stand up.

Step 2: Now put your arm straight out in front of you.

Step 3: Imagine a horizontal line as high as your outstretched fingertips.

Step 4: Now jump over that line.

When this gets too easy for you, do it in flip flops. Rinse. Repeat. Incorporate boastful posse as necessary.

amazing wrestling moves

Watching this makes me want to drop down to 168 and wrestle Brian Shute for the state championships.

55 pullups at 270 lbs.

Unreal. Plus this guy deadlifts like 900lbs. What a monster.

chun li + zangeif = this chick

Criminals in Japan obviously need to watch more Sailor Moon. Considering that most Japanese schoolgirls can shoot fireballs and summon tsunamis and talk to magical cats, this guy got off lucky with only getting suplexed.

how to: windmills

To celebrate my 100th post (huzzah!) I’m starting a new feature for Stuff That Moves: a recurring series of “How To” posts! We’ll start things off with a classic b-boy move, windmills.

Damn, I wish I had youtube when I was in high school! I can’t even begin to count the number of times I slammed my leg or hip into the ground trying to learn how to do these by trial and error! Oh – and rhythm. I wish I had that in high school too…

…and a girl friend. That would have been pretty cool.

Probably my favorite thing on tv. Here’s a tribute to the run that earned Makoto Nagano ”ultimate victory:”

impressive ups

If you are 5′9, this guy could jump over you.

pas de deux…sur le tête

One of the many things that I learned about China from the 10 gajillion hours that I spent watching the Beijing Olympics is that they have a very unique national motto. It doesn’t translate perfectly to English, but it’s something like, “China: taking stuff that you thought was fairly difficult to begin with, and doing it on top of another human being. Since 1266.”

Here we see the amazing Chinese Ballet Circus and their Pas de Deux troupe from Guangdong living up to the national motto. See also the Russian bar.
