NO WAY........That is insane.

[brum]

Very good - but cannot possibly be true.

I think it is you know, as he comes in to land you see he tucks his legs up under him.

Also we had the debate that when the guy "disappears" behind the bushes that maybe there was a switch??? BUT.... ho would you then get the dummy or whatever up to speed in that small amount of space where the slide is hidden.

In short I actually think its real, and jesus the maths to work thout out where he would land, how high the slide has to be etc etc makes my head ache just thinking about it!

The guy in the shorts & the cap manages to get across the valley pretty damn quick to congratulate his buddy too! (unless its his twin brother)

There is no way that is real, how the hell could you get to that speed with the help of a couple of buckets of water and a fairly gentle gradient?

The take-off ramp looks to be just under the height of the start point!

Because its impossible for 2 people to wear similar clothes.

First bloke wears a black coat and has white socks, second guy has blue coat and you cant see his socks.

And look at the platform the landing pool is put on, its made of wood and has pointy corners, you wouldn't want to risk landing on that.

I call fake.

Different colour shorts (take off side are orange, landing side are beige) and on the landing side of the valley the guy has a cap without a top.... just a peak and a strap, I have no idea what it is called.

Not to mention the video is tagged as "Fake".

[Roop]

C'mon guys. FAKE...!

The takeoff speed is not consistent with the speed on the downhill. He picks up WAY too much speed for the height he has lost and finally he does 60mph to 0 in about 2 feet. BALLACKS.

Is there a way we could screen response to this and anyone that calls it real has their bank accounts frozen for thier own saftey....they're two clicks away from handing over their chip and pin to a nigeria scammer.

What do you mean a Nigerian scammer???

I had a very nice, maybe slightly too friendly and polite, email from a solicitor in Nigeria. Basically asking me to give him my bank details to deposit 250 million pounds into my account (the money had come from a friend who had died and he was the will holder). He is coming over next month after he has deposited the money and we are sharing it 50/50...... how2 good is that!
Obviously I gave him my details as I don't want to miss out on this fantastic opportunity!

I'll post pics of my new Ferrari next month for you guys to drool over.

It may be fake but it is a lot better than most videos online.
Give them a bit of a budget and they could probably do some fun stuff.

[anonymous-user]

It's a bloody good fake then, not saying it isn't, i just watched it a couple more times, the guy moves his arms about in flight to steady himself.

How would they be able to fake it?

[Anya]

Agreed, awesome but fake.

And he tucks his legs in as he comes to land!

[dirty boy]

Fake.

At that angle, he'd have ripped straight through the paddling pool.
