Wrong. This sport was invented by me when I was 6 years old.

this is insanity. >.>

can I try?

Wow. I know I couldn't do that. I almost barfed just watching him on this tiny YouTube video.

Well, yeah...where's the challenge if your swing is locked in place?

yea as a seperate sport..I'll acknowledge it..but this isn't a REAL swing which uses chains or a rope. Also I am fairly certain his feet are secured to the swing which is cheating.

Who else was trying to help this guy "push" by rocking back and forth in your chair?

They need the videos for "When Kiiking Goes Horribly Wrong."

That would be a painful death.

And if he let go he would become Estonia's first astronaut.

Back on the playground we theorized that if you ever went all the way around, you'd go back in time. I still believe this.

Psh... who has swings mounted on poles? That's for wussies.

Yeah, that's what I heard was the most fun thing to do in Estonia.

Was anyone else's eyes glued to the upright poles and watching the flex around? Man it just doesn't look like it'd support that much force...

Well that's a new one on me. It looks like the sort of thing you might try yourself for a laugh and then realise you made a terrible mistake

Looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if the record of 7m is limited by human strength or other factors -- seems like it should be possible to go higher, but maybe it's limited by wind resistance.... This is one of the few things that makes me feel like working on a world record!

No. THIS. IS. ESTONIAAAA!!!!!!

(sorry)

cool. anyone know what safety measures they use? (e.g. fall net underneath swing, harness attaching swinger to swing?)

I think I like the mythbusters rocket-assisted chain swing loop better.

just so we are clear the record is 7 meters 2 centimeters

Imagine a little kid walking under that thing! You'd bat them all the way to Jesus.

This is just a votapalooza of funny quips and comments. If his shoelace weren't tied right when the swing peaked there was a long damn way down.

i must admit, the entertainment found in this clip caught me completely by surprise. the suspense was great!

In Estonia, swing swings you!

That made me feel sick just watching it.

The point at which he acrosses over the top and comes down the other side backwards....

Maatc, you've already completed the escalopter challenge, but can you complete the Kiiking challenge?!

hehe. I doubt the german TÜV would give a green light for these things over here. lucky me!

maatc stands for Multiple Athletic Accomplishments and TÜV Celebrity.

I amazed this sift is number one. It's just another Wii attachment...

As a hardened swing enthusiast, I support this venture fully.
