This guy has planet-sized balls of titanium...

PS Hitech, can you model 18600 cardboard boxes at every field, please? Chutes just got obsolete. Kthx.

Yeah only 2 broken ankles , a broken fibula, and a gash that needed skin grafts. That's what I want in my documentary.

I like his Tianmen Hole Jump better.

Ah life is good :) .... could be worse.

:rock :headscratch:
