This is why men don't traditionally pole-dance.

[–]ummwut 31 points32 points ago

... because pole dancing without a sick mode of transportation is for pussies?

[–]garythecoconut 43 points44 points ago

I bet this happens often to that guy.

[–]TreeMiner 49 points50 points ago

"Oh, this looks like a stable pole." wongggg

[–]Lay-Z-Bones 30 points31 points ago

Does Wong his faithful camera man rush in to see if he is ok?

[–]Apostolate 5 points6 points ago

Nah, filming the mayhem gets his reddit account more Karma:

www.reddit.com/user/CamermaWong.

[–]sinfulcolors 7 points8 points ago

and I bet he doesn't stop doing it

[–]NickelFish 0 points1 point ago

or filming it.

[–]Cold_Burrito 14 points15 points ago

He's just trying to better the great and powerful tricks, see.

[–]alphaorionis 2 points3 points ago

Thankfully he took a video so we can watch in awe!

[–]daddison35 0 points1 point ago

Yeah.

[–]WOWAMAO 4 points5 points ago

[–]andrewpurpleworm 5 points6 points ago

That had to hurt

[–]KingofCraigland -3 points-2 points ago

Good.

I imagine he's done this to more than just the two poles, it clearly isn't good for them. I can understand showing off, but do it on your own dime, not the tax payers.

[–]03Titanium 7 points8 points ago

Honestly I was a little confused at first because I only see signs held up by a metal u-rail (made up name) and never by a pole. So whipping yourself around one would probably both rip your skin off and cause you to loose your grip.

[–]FoxOfJustice 8 points9 points ago

he's talking about this people

[–]buster2Xk 0 points1 point ago

We don't get those here is Australia... This picture confuses me. Is it sticking out toward the camera or going in away from the camera?

[–]iLikeCode 1 point2 points ago

Yes.

[–]TwistedSisterFister 2 points3 points ago

metal u-rail (made up name)

For the record, they are officially called U-Channel Sign Posts.

[–]Analhilation -1 points0 points ago

You are so right, I have been paying 95% more in taxes ever since this guy has been doing this.

[–]carsonogin -2 points-1 points ago

Fuck off.

[–]wrandy1 8 points9 points ago

[–]solarnexus 4 points5 points ago

is there any way in hell that person is anything but dead or completely paralysed?

[–]notgnillorT_riS 3 points4 points ago

Jesus christ.

[–]buster2Xk 1 point2 points ago

... did he died :(

[–]Wackydude1234 2 points3 points ago

I would imagine so, look at the velocity of the lamp post, and it hits he/she directly.

[–]HOWARDofWOLOWITZ 2 points3 points ago

The mans name in this video is Tim Knoll. He rides for the Division BMX Stunt team. They come to schools around the nation talking about bullying and positive thinking. Oh, and here's his facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tim.knoll.16

[–]grizzlypacker 14 points15 points ago

Anything you can post, I can repost!

[–]doomtimenow 4 points5 points ago

Hey, you beat me too it. It is somewhat of an appropriate length of time apart from the last post though. Not all of us have seen it, so it's not too bad - versus a repost a day away from the last that receives way more karma. Overall I'm mostly okay with this.

[–]grizzlypacker 2 points3 points ago

I'm ok with it as well. But I'm always annoyed when it happens to me haha.

[–]RemyTaveras 2 points3 points ago

Except this time with a slightly different....! nvm, same title.

[–]antzel 1 point2 points ago

I can do anything better than you

[–]FuckThis_ImOut 2 points3 points ago

No you can't!

[–]datn 1 point2 points ago

Yes I can!

[–]FuckThis_ImOut 1 point2 points ago

No you caaan't!

[–]zedsdeadbby 1 point2 points ago

Anything you can be I can be greater. Sooner or later I'm greater than you.

[–]antzel 0 points1 point ago

no, you're not

[–]FuckThis_ImOut 0 points1 point ago

No you're not!

[–]bigbluemofo 1 point2 points ago

So, is he gonna pay for that sign?

[–]indoorfountain 1 point2 points ago

quick someone send this to Tosh.0, id like to see him try this and fail miserably, or cheat his way into beating it, either or.

[–]Derpylilvampire -1 points0 points ago

Caption made the pic 😊

[–]PKPenguin 2 points3 points ago

What is this, iFunny?

[–]Derpylilvampire 1 point2 points ago

No this is Patrick.

[–]MgrLtCaptCmmdrBalls 1 point2 points ago

What is that flag thingie

[–]MikaelaFae 2 points3 points ago

If you're on an iPhone and have the app Emoji, it's a little blushing smiley face.

[–]nixons_dog 2 points3 points ago

You don't need the app anymore.

[–]londons_explorer -1 points0 points ago

Downvote for platform specific markup.

Please break, please break, please break... aww...

[–]Tristan2007 0 points1 point ago

Oh, so that's why they were always fucked-up? :O

[–]-Cloud-chaser- 0 points1 point ago

[–]alethianess 0 points1 point ago

He would make one hell of a stripper

[–]konan375 0 points1 point ago

Anything you can be I can be greater

[–]Sparrow_of_the_Sun 0 points1 point ago

He should be an exotic dancer.

[–]SirZheHao 0 points1 point ago

I can do it better.

Edit: added the full stop.

[–]NickelFish 0 points1 point ago

I felt myself falling on his behalf.

[–]manualfocus 0 points1 point ago

Now I'm gonna be expecting the local strip club to start BMX-ing.

[–]waterfallsb5 0 points1 point ago

Thats my Timmy Teacup!!!! Boooom!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0AV0jr1zNA Tim Knoll, This guy taught me how to do a trick at this festival thing near my house.

[–]Ikhtionikos 0 points1 point ago

I literally did a half silent 'Hwhoaah'! Why does it have so many downvotes? Haters gonna hate?

[–]OneCoolPenguin 0 points1 point ago

I thought of Trixie

[–]Darrian 0 points1 point ago

I really want to try this now, but my bike is a mountain bike meant for off-road and whatnot, and it's significantly heavier than those BMX things. I would try it and probably end up dislocating a shoulder or something.

[–]BackToTheBasic 0 points1 point ago

assholes.

[–]AndrewElmore 0 points1 point ago

Haven't seen this gif in a couple days.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I love this comeback because at that point you can come up with anything. So you can eat shit better than me? K, you can have that. What? You can backstroke in a swimming pool of puke better than I can? K, np, you're gifted.

[–]TheFluxIsThis 0 points1 point ago

I actually cringed at that second one.

[–]itsalejandreezy 0 points1 point ago

No you can't!

Yes I can!

Ahhhhh Annie get your gun

[–]schniggens 0 points1 point ago

Why, that is better. Much better.

[–]mrdanz 0 points1 point ago

I can almost hear an audiences laughter when he falls

[–]onlyforthereddits 0 points1 point ago

I can do this better too :D

[–]MyGirlfriendWut 0 points1 point ago

1st guy has a stripper lv of 99. 2nd is a novice..

[–]DarkReaver1337 0 points1 point ago

Thanked like anything I can do, I can do better.

[–]electric_drifter 0 points1 point ago

...any chick you can screw, I can get wetter!

[–]londons_explorer 0 points1 point ago

I hope he paid for a new pole so my tax money didn't have to...

[–]Portashotty 0 points1 point ago

At least change the title next time.

[–]IamAlampshadeAMAA 0 points1 point ago

I think this would be incredibly fun. I would be scared of the pole snapping though, so I would never try this.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

they're made to break off easily at the bottom.

[–]IamAlampshadeAMAA 1 point2 points ago

Are they all made like that, or are there certain ones that will hold up?

[–]NickelFish 3 points4 points ago

Down my road, I saw an accident where someone hit a signpost. It simply bent. I can see the use in making easy-break posts. Sometimes the post slaps back on the car into the windshield. And I think I'm setting myself up for an easy-break oven joke.

[–]IamAlampshadeAMAA 1 point2 points ago

Well, I guess there is only one way to find out...

[–]Spytie 1 point2 points ago

You know what else breaks easy?

my self confidence...):

[–]JakeBelnades 0 points1 point ago

I am really tempted to get my bike and try this as well. Guaranteed it would end poorly though, not because of the pole snapping, because of me failing.

[–]ryanknapper -1 points0 points ago

No, you can't.

[–]chris4276 1 point2 points ago

Yes i can

[–]ryanknapper -2 points-1 points ago

No, you can't.

[–]chris4276 -1 points0 points ago

YES I CAN YES I CAAANN!

[–]punarvasu -1 points0 points ago

i bet i can repost shit better than u do

[–]frickendevil 0 points1 point ago

As talented as he is, and cool that he is doing what he enjoys; please let him know he shouldn't do the post trick because it destroys public infrastructure. Its like $200-300 AUD (probably around $150 USD) for replacing each of those signs.

[–]Helix_van_Boron -1 points0 points ago

I recognized this video. Tell your friend that he's awesome. And pretty famous.

[–]Anshin -2 points-1 points ago
