Rooster_Ties Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 re: the original clip... What gets me is they're so fucking calm about, and that one guy just hangs there for what seems like forever. Maybe the scariest thing I've seen on the web, ever.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 That scene in 'A Perfect Getaway' where Milla Jovovich stumbles on that high pass gives me the heebie-jeebies big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Not exactly "heights" (although the elevation drop must be quite a hell of a lot)... ...in any case, this is pretty jaw-dropping: http://vimeo.com/9970489 This next one is even more rugged/severe (same location, different course - from a previous year) -- one bike chases another one down the course (edited to alternate camera views), each with head-mounted cameras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56kJ99AvfoI And here's another rider from the same course (same year) as the first clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO0VLouJFNQ Edited March 2, 2011 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 That first one made my palms sweat too - and my palms never sweat. I didn't even watch it through - just ff-ed to the pull-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcello Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) A fan of Joe Locke's took Joe and his girlfriend, Clarence Penn and his wife and me and my daughter Danielle (pictured) to a area ABOVE the observation deck, where you could hang over the edge (not me!) if you dumb enough. These pictures don't really show how absolutely terrifying it was, especially in a 40mph wind! Oh yeah, Danielle leaned over! This little knee wall was all there was between you and the sidewalk!

Rooster_Ties Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 The title of the clip says "Girl walking on a roof"... ...but 'roof' doesn't even remotely describe what she's (barely) walking on. Yikes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
