WOW, WHAT A BEAST! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

There are a lot of comments like that anytime someone does something a little audacious. Whoever put that together obviously isn't stupid. What they are is imaginative and adept at fabrication. I don't understand the attitude but I doubt the builders let it bother them.

As for the kid in the first video, he knew exactly what he was doing and it was very funny. Plenty of comments there by the clueless who didn't get the satire, too.

All I am saying is give the kid some credit.  It is a nice little send-up of the mindlessness that is out there.

As opposed to some of the "Stupid" comments, I love these guys inventiveness. This guy in Britain is brilliant, I've been following him for awhile now, some here will think him "stupid", I think he's a legend! ;D

This guy rocks!  He is living out my mad scientist dreams with rocket powered stuff and turbo strollers. 

The story goes that Usher sold his whole life on ebay (everything job house the lot) then set himself a list of 100 goals to complete in 100 weeks one of his goals was to ride a wall of death. Ian did really well to ride the wall even though some people will proberly say "he didn't get very high" since i built this thing the weather has taken its toll and even i struggle to ride it like i used to.

To find out more about Ians story you can visit his websites

It takes more skill and imagination to step over the line and do something out of the ordinary. They don't think like the average person. The average person is just average.

I agree with that, but somethings should just stay unmade.
