What's something crazy you do?

Thought I'd start my own inane thread...perhaps we will see some strange things (hopefully).

I received some photos of my past life today that I hadn't seen before and thought.."man I was bloody crazy" and it got me wondering about crazy things others on here may have done or indeed still do.

So, any photos?

Lets see'em

I'll start..

First photo is me back in 2000 at the Australasian Strongest Man comp in Sydney at the Royal Easter Show...looks like I am about to blow a poofer valve ...I remember that was the 4th (out of five) and 160kg stone and it was bluddy heavy

Second photo is me in my last ever run in this famous event it was July 2005 in Aberdeen NSW

...no more now, lifting the mouse to use Photoshop is about it for me now

Mike

LOL nice Mike!

What's with the lifting of the front of your kilt in the 2nd one? Trying to show us something?

I found the stone would slip and tend to roll on the kilt material as I exerted the final up lift (see attached photo), so I used to tuck it up under my belt before starting my 5 stone run ...nothing grand under there

Now you must have some crazy shots during Karate, lets see'em

These were during my black belt grading

I had to spar 6 people in a row, no rest, continuous sparring.

1. A kick from Shihan Lliam (former Australian champion)
2. A kick to the body from Sensei Josh who looks like he's trying to kill me
3. After another of Sensei Josh's kicks, right in the solar plexus and winded me.
4. After the sparring was over. Just running on adrenalin.

Was a pretty crazy time, but fond memories indeed

I love Crazy Stuff

Well somtimes I tell the Wife that I don't agree with Her....That's some real Crazy Sh--.

I also love doing this stuff and this is a link that I took a while ago taking my Brother in Law for a ride.. If you take a look at at some of my other videos, you will see some other mad stuff as well.

Here is the link for those who might want a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL7MGfO2PYY



Mad is just slang for fun!

I like Bass......LOUD..... and fat red lips

Oh, and a Morrisset Lunatic Asylum (near newcastle) gig we did for the Sydney Cave Klan. The only pic I have unforch. This place was a wreck shut down 30yrs ago, heavily fenced off, and insanely illegal to get into.

Got there in the middle of a forest in pitch dark, destroyed a fence to get in, set up a genny, huge fires were lit up, we made a hell of a noise in the middle of no where.

Freaky stuff, absolute lunnies for an audience (they were shut down I think due to them crawling thru sewers for fun, potential terrorist).

This place was a gulag, I kid you not, torture rooms, acres of barbed wire fencing.

The crazy part was playing with and to very edgy ppl indeed in a very off the wall illegal setting in the pitch dark, in a forest, and fires blazing .

Not really crazy but different, taken up kitebuggying, have a bunch of kites and a buggy. You would be surprised at how powerful a kite can be.

Not pics of me but will give you a good idea of what it's about.
