Unbeatable Banzuki
« on: November 04, 2008, 09:52:26 AM »
I was watching Unbeatable Banzuki the other day and there's a challenge on it on stilts, the thing is you can take your own modified stilts along with you to do the course. Somebody needs to apply for that show and use there pro jumps. It would be a breeze some of the athletes on it stumble just walking through the start gate

It's on Challenge TV all the time if you own Sky. It's abit like Ninja Warrier only a whole lot cornier! I'm not sure you can pick the challenge you do. I don't think I could do the walking on my hands challenge (I can bearly do a cart wheel). It would be fun to see someone try it on powerbooks tho

I yeah and them just dominated it. Half the challenges on the course you could just jump over. Everyone I've seen attempt it takes really small steps and are dead shaky, the only person I've seen get close to the end was the guisness world record holder for stilt walking and he messed it up on the last obstacle

1 guy almost completed the unicycle course yesterday, he fell like half a metre from the line, gutted! :banghead: Don't you think Pro Jump or somebody should get in contact with them to try make a powerbocking course. Not like I have anything against unicylcists or unicycling but surely powerbocking has more followers and is a newer more exciting sport than unicyling :thumbs:

I think unicycling has more followers actually. They have world championships and competitions, world number 1's ect.

I think bocking is cool but so is trail unicycling. Both are new and cool. I like bocking but bocking has just started, unicycling is a step ahead and is more established.

Watched one recently, the current world champion completed the mk.5 course!

Also, bocking is far easier than unicyling, i can only just about go in a straight line... xD
