Johnny Pro

Alex Honnold is a badass athlete....not a thrill seeker.
Alex is dumb as hell as far as I'm concerned no matter how good an athlete he is. He is under a lot of pressure to continually outdo himself. Especially being sponsored. He is definitly a thrill seeker. I admire his accomplishments but he is down right nuts on another level.
 
So if something went wrong and he splatted on someone's car or killed a pedestrian .........would you call him a fool then? Since his ropes were easy to retrieve was it just run through the lattice work?

No is wasn't my crane. But why glorify something any idiot can do.

As for comparing it to Alex Honnold or Jeb Corliss .......not even close.

Remember the dudes who posted there jump from World Trade Center ......they got busted months later.

But if your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough. Hopefully since he is such a badass, he figured out how to remove the date and time if on from video, and carefully cover his digital footprint.
 
Honestly, there's nothing super impressive about this to me. The crane's not super high, buddy stays tied in the whole way out the boom, he swings around for a bit, lands on a building, and comes down. About as exciting as watching someone zipline. Gonna file this away under the attention whore category.
 
Inspirational (y)
I find myself in the tree looking for swing and jump opportunities much more now.
And when I do, a voice in my head belts out "JOHNNY PRO!"
It's really testament to high level of skill, confidence, strength and tools that work
Yeah, he is a bad influence. My whole crew has been bombing out of the trees attempting ridiculous swings and trying to do johnny pro front flips. not good work practices. It makes it fun Though.

yeah if he went splat, I would call him a fool just like when Jeb or Alex go splat. Jeb already has splatted and he is still going. Their decision. I'm an idiot and I cant do what johnny pro does or Alex or Jeb. Those guys are wired different.
 
Spider man, that guy's wacky!

I met a guy who base jumped off a scraper in Denver, something went wrong near the bottom, he crashed into the building through some windows and landed in the lobby. He was able to escape on foot but later arrested in the hospital.

Like you said treebing some folks just have that wiring, not me!
