Amazing Takedown

chicchorea says...

Indeed, his sparring partner didn't seem to be bouncing back to his feet did he?

artician said:

Pretty sure I've pulled this off quite a number of times in Virtua Fighter.

EDIT - It must be rough on your sparring partner, grabbing them with your legs and throwing them by the neck.

GoPro Falls Off Drone Into Burning Man Dance Floor

Shepppard says...

Yeah, gonna have to say this is definitely fake.

Two shots stand out, the fact that it lands perfectly without bouncing, and then the guy kicks it making it only spin around just enough to see what it needed to see.

Isaac Caldiero's Epic Ascent of Mt. Midoriyama

lucky760 says...

I finally just finished watching the 3 hour finale on my DVR (kept trying to avoid this spoiler post) and was thoroughly happy with the results.

I'm way on board with your sentiments, but must add my 2 cents.

First, I think it's important to realize it's not the way ANW runs the show that causes the competitors to behave the way they do; it's the American competitors themselves who share that undesirable selfish, braggadocious attitude/philosophy. Even when you watch the Japanese Sasuke competitions, when there's an American competing surrounded by Japanese competitors inside Japan, you still feel that same air of arrogance.

I've been watching the Sasuke for many years and started watching ANW before it was ANW (even in the first "seasons" on Attack of the Show where the competitors had bounce on a trampoline and swing on some monkey bars to earn their way to Japan). The American attitude always been something that bothers me and takes a huge chunk out of my interest.

I always find it disconcerting the way they don't explain any details, such as why Geoff got to climb first (which is why he gets to claim he's the first person to ever reach the top).

The other thing I've been crying "foul" on is that they seemed to lighten it up on the obstacles. This year there were 38 people to go to round 2. That's ridiculous. But what's worse is that round 2 had way too long a time limit. Normally competitors who succeed on stage 2 have about a second left when they hit the button, but many of those who went through to stage 3 had around 30 seconds on the clock.

I had to rewind a couple of times, but I confirmed Isaac said "share the moment" not the money.

My wife and I were both displeased that Geoff announced he gets to say he's the first to beat stage 4. That's such a poor attitude, and I liked Popeye a lot more until then. And regardless how they decided who got to go first, I think they both have to be considered as equally the first to finish stage 4. (Side note: I was really bummed they didn't use the loud "bang! bang!" sounds to start stage 4 like they do in Japan.)

I myself don't have a problem with the very redesigned courses each season.

The USA versus the World bullshit is some serious bullshit that's hard to swallow. Not only is the whole "our country is better than you" concept horrible, but the actual competition is shit. It's not the same beating the course one rested person at a time. But also last year the Europeans brought in a rock climber who knew nothing about Ninja Warrior and just sent him in fully rested to do the arm-centric work.

Boy, we could get together and write a dissertation on this subject.

What a monster. Both guys are so deserving. Both in their 30's!!

On a less joyous note, I take pretty serious issue with the way ANW runs the competition. Once I found out about the original Sasuke, I went back and watched every single season. Because it's awesome. But I feel like the Japanese organizers of Sasuke clearly understood that the competition was "competitors versus course", not "competitor versus competitor". In that vein, any set of competitors who complete the course should be equally rewarded.

Can you imagine dedicating your life to completing that course, succeeding (as one of only two people in the world, over nearly a decade of competition), then walking away with nothing because the other guy was an insignificant amount faster than you?

Props to Isaac for at least mentioning "share the money" in the post-interview (not included in this sift).

Another way I massively disagree with ANW is that they significantly redesigned the courses for every year of competition. Some variation is essential to testing the competitors' adaptability, but with so much new stuff each year they excluded lots of top talent due to bad luck or running order. Cynically, maybe to avoid paying the prize money. Last year was particularly bad with only two guys making it to stage 3. I feel like this year the pendulum swung back a little too far (or maybe "farther than intended") which is why they actually had two winners. That said, that new cliffhanger is ridiculous, but at least it's a variation on existing obstacles instead of something totally unique.

Lastly, let's not forget ANW's "USA versus The World". Really? That's so stereotypically American it's sick, especially for an adopted competition.

200KM/H Crash Test

scheherazade says...

200km/h crash into a stationary object is like 2 cars hitting head-on at 100km/h each.

TBH, that kind of scenario is quite reasonable.

Here's what a car that can protect the drive in that kind of crash looks like :

300 kph into wall, at ~45 degrees.

(45 degree bounce = 70% of 300hp/h instant deceleration in the direction right-angle to the wall = 212kph immediate deceleration)

Guy had a moderately injured leg.

Mad man 100lb chair splift

Payback says...

Most times, that amount of bulk means he'd be muscle-bound.

I would fear getting in a fight with this guy. Hits would bounce off and he's got range of motion to utterly destroy you on contact...

Running Baby Goats

Kind of defeats the purpose when you make them run that fast.

If they can't bounce, they might as well be dogs.

Strong Wind Vs.Train On A Bridge

newtboy says...

If tracks were perfect, it should make no noticeable difference...until you fall over, then being stationary is obviously preferable.
BUT...tracks aren't perfect, so the train being bounced side to side WOULD make it easier to be pushed over.
Also, curves have a slight angle to them, so trains going a certain speed will remain flat in the curve...so going too fast or too slow puts you off balance. It's hard to tell if that piece of track is curved.
Wheels are designed so they are ALWAYS using static friction , even when moving. The portion of the wheel in contact with the ground is stationary. (except when skidding)

eric3579 said:

Question: Does a slow moving vehicle (train or truck) have more, less or the same chance of tipping then vehicles not moving? Assuming the winds impact is perpendicular to the vehicle. I would guess stopped would do better. Does the contact of wheels with the surface have more friction when stopped thus harder to push over? Anyone?

The Bucket Board

Retroboy says...

This is all about saving things, but the think about the wasted amount of footage they removed between all this image-leaping-around!

Love the theme, but damn, I hate movies that bounce all around like this. Completely unnecessary and irritating.
