… agony of defeat |
You’ve seen those fake rock walls to climb at amusement parks and arcades, right? Ever tried actually scaling the bad boy on the hardest side? During our recent trip to Silverwood I tried that and the video below [1:13] is the result.
Our youngest teen was there filming the event and narrating.
This also gave me a chance to try out the blip.tv video service. After trying out YouTube and Blip.tv my favorite service so far is Google Video because I like their video permalink feature (disclaimer: I own GOOG stock). That remains a must-have feature for vlogs and podcasts.
Does any service provide a permalink-like feature for podcasts? And does Blip.tv not have an easy embed into your blog option like Google Video (as shown above) or YouTube? Make that two must-have features for video sites.
Did this post make you go hmm?




Looks like you have your tennis shoes on. Clibming with tennis shoes is hard. You might try barefoot next time, if they let you.

Good thinking, maybe some powder on the bottom of the feet too.

Golf shows with metal spikes would probably have been quite effective also

I don’t know about the spikes, Kiltak, the material it is made of is some kind of really hard plastic. More slippery than it looks.
