To the group of people who bounce around on the stairs leading up to the town clock. I feel embarassed watching the tourists trying to navigate around you Xtreme dudes. Instead of doing the crabwalk up a flight of stairs, you could at least do something cool. Like backflips off tall buildings. Put that shit on youTube.

It gets worse than that. I watched some tool a couple of weeks ago trying to ” urban climb ” or whatever the fuck you call it, ascend the short rock wall next to the Grand Parade. It was hilarious. He had talc in a bag on his hip. Looked he was trying to climb K2, and he was a complete and utter failure for about 20 minutes.You can’t buy that kind of humor.
I saw someone try to climb the Grand Parade wall as well, his friend was spotting him.The coolest urban climbing I’ve seen is a guy climb up on top of the wave from the front using the lip. It’s like a 1 cm ledge, the finger strength it takes is unreal. Then he threw his leg up and made it.
Thanks! I was high one morning and saw this and wasn’t sure if it was real or not. Put another one in the real life column
