Lesson 9.8 - Daredevils

Lesson Date: 19 March 2010

Lesson Length: 3:21 min.

What we learned in this lesson

There are two ways to create successful daredevil videos: Awesome stunts (requires talent, prowless, and creativity - which you don’t have) and failure.
When they say “Don’t try this at home”, they don’t mean “Off the top of your home”
Crowds are good because they can go “That was funny. I hope he’s not dead”
Rule of Three - First guy can do it, second guy can do it, third time’s a harm.
If you fail the first time, don’t give up! You’ll eventually get hurt.
To be a professional stuntman, go to your workplace and do doughnuts on the forklift.
Most stunts involve something that involves no reason in doing but is fun to watch, like two guys on an ATV.
Don’t check your equipment.
Broken in half bike = Two Unicycles
Law of Motion - A moron in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside ceiling.
Push the limits, especially how early you can fall down.
Besides a minuscule amount of views, stunt fails tell you what kind of friends you have.
