  1. #3 - Nice job there, Pedro - too bad it was the mirror instead of a hot wire.

    1. Look at the ragged angle he cut too?

  2. #9 She won't do that again, takes a long time to heal from serious road rash. Ask me how I know...

    1. Yep, left my first bike at 50 mph as dumb punk with thin pants and t-shirt. Slid 50 feet. Wore full gear every mile after, regardless how hot here in the south.

    2. Came from the Midwest where jeans and boots were pretty standard in summer, and frequently leather unless it was in town and hot. Now in NC where flip-flops and shorts aren't unusual, have been asked how I can ride in gear in August. Gives me the creeps thinking about going for a slide in beach gear.

    3. I notice how everyone who has ridden motorcycles has at least one story about the time they had to lay it down. I bought a Yamaha I think was called a Road and Trail. Drove it home that autumn, parked it in my garage and sold it before hard winter hit, in exchange for a woodstove and a Sears .22 semi auto rifle.
      That is the only story of my motorcycle ownership.
      I would have loved to have started in my teens, maybe then I would have been more able to get into riding as an adult. My mom was the type who said that you could get a motorcycle when you moved out. She was afraid of them. If she only knew what other danger my friends and I got into after getting our drivers licenses.
      I took the family 4 door Oldsmobile 2 tracking, ran out of road, and came upon a clear cut field, with 2 foot stumps. I still don't know how we missed all those things and didn't get stuck some 5 miles into the woods. We had to go through the car wash before going home. And the next day, I borrowed the car again to hide some of the worst scratches with paint from the local combination parts store/drug dealer. Yet another one where I didn't get caught.
      Shooting bottle rockets onto the roof of houses was the best, until someone shot a gun back at us. We quit that prank right quickly after that. Some people have no sense of humor.

  4. #6 Watch closely, she tilts her head forward after releasing by ~ 2-3".
    #9 I truly wonder if she lived
    #10 Smart; keeping the trunks between her and the horns

  5. #2 What I think of soccer. Oh, sorry. What I think of "fhuthbhall".

  6. Why is the chick in 6 moving like a chicken? Love that the teacher smiled.

  7. #1 - now do it in the rain. If it ain't raining, you ain't training, the Sergeant Major used to say! Great way to do a mag change with an injured paw.

    1. I thought she was holding her shirt closed to keep hot brass from falling in.

    2. No, that's a common way to position your offhand when shooting 1 handed.

    3. Wounded or disabled hand drill. Practice and knowledge are a good thing.

    4. None of mine close the slide with mag change.

    5. I mean chamber new round.

  8. #5 - modern sissified self-centered parents, they run away and leave the two children behind to fend for themselves...

    1. I’d remember that as I grew up.

    2. That's Reynisfjara beach in Iceland. The beach shelves off deep really fast, has hell of an undertow and the water is really cold. There are rescues there every year of dumb tourists and there have been more than a couple or drownings.

  9. #1- I am a loser when it comes to training like that professional. She is simply amazing. I figure that if I am in a shooting event, I will be doing pretty damn good if I am able to both shoot back and not shit myself at the same time.
    #6- If you notice the chick doesn't just release the ball, but gives it a ever so slight push. That is why she got a rude awakening.

    1. The main reason is that she stepped forward after release. Look at the distance between her back & the door frame behind her. If she'd stood where she started she'd have been fine.

  10. #1: She demonstrates the fastest hand job west of St. Louis.

    #3: That was a common occurance when I was installing phones back in the early 70s

    #4: Asian woman.

  13. Starker here,
    All of these qualify as Physics Lessons.
    #3 Something similar happened on the Manhattan Project. They were keeping the refined material in small batches in separate rooms. But in one case two rooms shared a wall. Things were heating up. Do you think it's the husband being recorded by the wife, or just two coworkers?
    #9 is an example of a Moment Arm & Inertia. The road rash should help remember the lesson.

  14. 1) That video starts with an empty magazine in the gun which is replaced by a magazine with one round in it. I guess the point is to show how fast she can switch mags which is cool but in my experience full mags act and feel differently than empty ones. Not a drill I would count on to learn anything useful from. Fun to watch though.

    1. Being able to reload after you've been dinged in the arm isn't useful? That's what the drill is about.

      Delete
    2. I totally get that. It's just that she's shooting a glock and full glock magazines
      don't act like empty ones. They swell a little. Just saying maybe practice with a full back up mag to build that exact muscle memory. On the other hand she's practicing a lot more than most people!

    3. The original glocks were a bit sticky. The newer ones are a lot smoother ejecting

  15. #1 Low capacity magazines she's got there.

  16. # 1, thats my kind of girl. shame she has a ring on that finger. someone is a lucky man.

  17. #4 Did you see that pole jump in front of that car?

  18. #1 One-handed drill is a good idea but why would you have one bullet in a magazine?
    #3 I think he worked on my house before I bought it

  19. #9 is going to hurt--and it fucking should.

  20. #1 agree with previous similar observations - a great one-handed drill. ALSO - use the other hand to keep the top of the shirt closed to keep the hot spent shell casings away from the girls.

    #10 - reasonably safe place to do that from.

  21. #6 only works safely if the ‘victim’ has their back and head to a walk and stays plastered to it until the ball returns…. Otherwise…. Well, you saw what happens. That Jackass of a prof. Should be sued silly….. totally irresponsible … totally.

  22. #6 Not her first ball to the face.
