Got some amusing video clips of me failing in spectacular fashion on problems I've already done and am doing again for a video.
I'm sure there are loads more out there. Post up for a laugh

Always fancied trying the Sheriff.
A Woodhouse meet may be in order if it ever stops raining!!

Finally some red baron beta!

On reflection its probably best to ignore $:-\$

I bet I could find something for this thread. The only videos I have of me climbing are falling off ones.

I like the second one Jim, very elegant landing

I like the first one. Getting an excited kangaroo to hold the camera is an interesting twist

Top standard! Great idea for a thread. We need more spectacular failures (racks brain about what incriminating evidence lagers may have..........).

Seeing the hams of justice in action is enough to reduce any man or woman to a quivering wreck. Plus I was furiously masturbating.

Sherrif is a path.
I'll post a vid of me and worm doing red baron in the crap climbing vids unless you want to start a thread in the beta forum.
Its quite powerfull but fine when you know what your doing ie. you don't try and campus the first move

You've seen it before, but not on Vimeo. How not to top out.

This is a great idea for a thread. I have some genius video of the other member of hommezone failing on vitruvian man in Chironico, but its part of a bigger vid. I started trying to use windows movie maker to chop out the relevant bit but my computer threw a whitey and I went to the tor in disgust. Might try and sort it out this weekend. Then again, its the weekend and I have better things to do.

Fuck I'd forgotten how funny that video of John was. He was at it again the other week. Stylishly despatching the hardest thing he's ever managed before making a total bellyflop nightmare of the 1A finishing mantel.

great clip. Need to find some clips of a friend of ours we took to font, for her first outdoor climbing experience. Similar results, only slightly more elegant.

Many "How not to's" here

Until I get the camcorder back, this'll have to do...

That John guy 'topping out' just made me laugh til my stomach hurt.

During that week in Font our nights were spent watching the days footage. This became known as The Autopsy and had us crying with laughter until it hurt. John's commentry from behind the camera is as funny as his performance in front of it. I must get round to using some of that...
