    If you can do everything in this video, you may be the most coordinated and physically capable person on the planet.

    Do you think you could manage the dedication and courage to be able to perform some of these feats? (note: the water walking makes use of special shoes)

    I think the few fakes in there spoil the video, other than that it was a good fun watch.

    Some impressive tricks in there, and a handful of feats.

    As for determination and dedication to do it, if one of my aims in life was to be a high diver then yes, probably. I'd be very surprised if anyone else couldn't do the same thing, if that was their ambition.

    As Coma said, shame about the CG/camera tricks in some of them.

    Epic.

    I was gonna post 'No, people = poo' but can't muster up enough cynicism.

    Colour me bloody well impressed.

    Here's another vid, part of which was used in that one, that I find quite impressive.

    Starts off a little slow, but gets pretty cool before long.

    Cutest quote from The Spy Next Door: "I don't wanna be a princess anymore, I wanna be a cyborg."

    Also, which ones were fake? I didn't catch CGI and whatnot, but I wasn't exactly looking for it.

    You really don't - think of the electricity bill.

    Not to mention having to download patches weakly, and the occasional purple screen of death.

    And you don't want to know where they put the USB port.

    solar panels, inbuilt text processor w/compiler and wireless connection ftw

    Solar panels? You'd be sitting in the sun for weeks just to move for ten minutes.

    As to the text processor with a compiler and wireless connection, just no. If I get to be a cyborg, I'll go open-source and closed-system.

    Dedication and Courage are not the issue, area of study is. If I were as devoted to any of these as I am to my martial arts I'm certain I'd be able to do some of it, if not now then in a few years.

    I'm not a particular fan of Bruce Lee, but this is kind of epic if real:

    Nunchuck Ping Pong

    Parkour has a special place in my heart. The level of balance and body awareness is something i can't beat into my head no matter how hard i try, but goddamn it is great to watch

    A lot of those death defying ones cut out pretty quick too, almost like they want you to assume they were fine...
