Crazy football video

Mae can you move this to one of the public threads?

LOL oh shit. Is that for real?

That last clip of Laurence Maroney was fucking crazy

Yes it is.

I'm guessing it can't be 100% real, but its still cool as hell. Either they did 100s of takes or set it up

Is it?

The jump through the truck windows would have fucking hurt if he couldn't do it on the first try. =x The one with dude hitting the number post wasn't all that great, though.

oh yeah - You ever watch NFL network? They have a program on there during the offseason where these players practice these moves with the football etc doing all this crazy ass shit until they get it right on tape.

I cant explain that Maroney diving through the car window thing though =x

But everything in that video is legit.

We dont' get NFL network here =/ I get to watch NFL on my non HD channels

I'm willing to bet the inside of that vehicle was padded, and the bottoms of those windows made as smooth/slippery as possible. Football player' mass + runner's speed = all sorts of bad juju.

Have you ever seen videos of parkour/free running/martial acrobatics enthusiasts practicing in a gym? Look up Team Ryouko on YouTube. They've had a couple of massive bruiser types tossing themselves through holes in cushions as if they were 50 pound kids.

I used to do stupid things for fun, like jumping over/off anything in sight or trying to kick stuff above my head in places where I could get hurt (tree branch on a hill... did it... got hurt... did it again). There's a point where you just convince yourself that it's gonna work, and you either throw your body into it, or you hesitate and lose the required momentum. At that point you either wimp out completely or do some damage.
