She got some skills. Not as many as that bloke on the front page though.

There's a front page?

*watches front page. Goes 'Blimey!'

That's an amazingly creative and skillful film right there. ✅

Wow in a world of High Def Go-Pro madness it's nice to see some people are still filming on good old VHS. Great board skills though 😉

That skate video is amazing. I love that he's taken a pretty standard skateboard skill - a kickflip ollie and mixed it up with weird custom boards and cool stuff in his environment.

Really enjoyed it

So perfect it looks computer generated. It is amazing what some people are able to do.

Incredible. It's interesting when you see athletes whose body shape has become so specific to their discipline. I always wanted to take a ballet dancer rock climbing. I wonder what those gymnasts could do by way of an alternative sport?

Edit: just found this on Youtube. Talk about natural talent!

I once did a yoga glass next to a ballerina. She could get into shapes that the teacher could only dream of.

Probably deserves it's own thread... but if you don't say 'blimey' to this I suspect it'll be something stronger! Rag doll of the century..

Looks like she's had some reasonable coaching there before she started (my first climbing experience was "off you go, then"). And by christ she's annoying. Lass did good though, fair play.

I've always said, "you climb like a girl" is high praise.

Blimey indeed.

I bet she said something stronger when she realised she had to walk back up for her skis...

I want to see the follow-up video where she gets her skis back.
