Can't seem to embed this video but it's hilarious:

Phil trying to walk up a roof and failing {Argonauts Tree Service}

Butch, would you let me know if or how it can be embedded, please?

Interesting when it flies right over people and they don't even notice.

In this age of folks routinely doing insane, impossible youtube stunts, VanDamme more than holds his own here. One of the best commercials I've ever seen.

C'mon man, are you kidding me:

[woodworkingboy]

Brutal!

 

[cory]

That blows my mind away. To me, that is a high expression of art. There are no tricks in that vid, and it was done in one take. The music is insane with it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That was cool, but no way were they driving backwards.

 

[cory]

100% driving backwards.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Then they were doing it SLOW, then speeding it up.

If he just woulda said something, then I'd believe it was 100% legit.

Still, an awesome stunt!

 

[cory]

That could the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Well, I guess doing full backflips on a snowmobile and other things like that are up there too, but this also has the element of art to it, with the music and sunrise and careful production planning and camera angles. And the who of it and his background and age (53) all work together to make it special.

 

[cory]

MB, nah, I believe it is unretouched. You can see his clothes fluttering in the wind, his ankles shuddering with the strain, his torso making micro adjustments for balance.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Fluttering clothes, eh? I guess that proves it to me, then.

Still, it woulda been even more impressive if both trucks would have moved.

 

[vl2007]

He got paid well for that i'm sure

 

[woodworkingboy]

Chuck Norris is probably thinking, "I shoulda done that".

 

[cory]

There were alot of funny chuck norris comments.

 

[cory]

19,000,000 hits so far.

This is what happens when you "trespass" on the football field. A 6'-2", 240 lb. Trooper solves the problem.

He is also the Trooper that helps escort us on the road.

[MasterBlaster]

Takedown!!!

 

[SoonerFan]

He was a linebacker in college...

 

[woodworkingboy]

He hit him too high for an ideal football takedown, but the guy was already off balance.

 

[stig]

Now why ain't yall yelling "police brutality" like usual?

 

[MasterBlaster]

What did he do wrong? Was he supposed to tap him on the shoulder? "Erm, excuse me, sir!"

 

[woodworkingboy]

Stig, probably because the people in the stands were actually interested in seeing a sporting event. In some other games and places they are just looking for a reason to riot.
