Ok, that was pretty funny.

The fire-extinguisher thing was fake.

Yup. It's incredibly clever, but also incredibly fake.

He LOOKS like he's hovering, but it's over in barely a second. With enough momentum, you could probably make anything appear to make you fly for a second. We don't know exactly what he did before that shot--maybe he ran, maybe the train accelerated, maybe there's a rubberband catapult off camera. Maybe he has some friends in front using thin strings and doing a massive and quick pull forward just to pull off the 1 second illusion.

Point is, it doesn't look impossible, it just looks like he was thrown forward and then crashed less than a second later. Remove the fire extinguisher and it's the same thing, some guy looks like's he hovering for a second, and I'm sure you've seen enough videos of various ways to pull that trick off.

[Funky Papa]

Eh, a couple of those clips are not Russian.

[zoukka]

This is what happens when you give the internet to people living in a country with nothing to do and no life prospects.

You jelly son.

It's just that when he lifts his feet off the ground (he doesn't jump, he gently lifts his feet) what is providing the upward thrust? The extinguisher is parallel to the ground, it wouldn't provide any upward motion at all. You'd just drop instantly, gravity doesn't hang around, even for half a second. That's cartoon physics.

[Pkm]

Could someone who is Russia-GAF just weigh in on, WTF is up with "Russian Youth + Doing shit 100ft up in the air"??

Seriously, everyy week I see a new video with some teens walking a beam or doing pull ups 1000ft up in the air.

People saw the original video and want to 1up it?

It's DANGERUUUUUUSSSS, ooooh I'm just shivering thinking about it, going outside and risking my precious life in a time without thought transfer to computers.

by the way

here is the channel dedicated to this kind of stuff. Not all videos are EXTREEEEME though.

I get what you're saying, but we don't actually see what he does JUST before he lifts his legs. For all we know the extinguisher is being thrust forward by my theoretical catapult.

Basically, I think we're all in agreement this is "fake" in that he's not actually flying. It's just a matter of how he pulled the trick off, and judging from the video quality it probably wasn't that complex.

If occurs to me we don't really see the top, either. Maybe he has a rubber string or something that snaps.

[Dude Abides]

What a country.

*Googles Yulia Nova, finds sub par looking chick with incredibly droopy tits* Really?

i must politely ask you to leave the internet.

[PezDispenser]

That barely looks like 5 feet. Like, imagine a parabola. He leaps foward with it blasting between his legs, it adds MAYBE a half second of airtime due to the initial burst, than arcs downwards. Honestly, the entire thing is < 2 seconds. You can probably make a leap that lasts that long with enough momentum, i.e. a train or running start.

Please tell me this is your idea of trolling.

There isn't much to do for the youth outside a few major cities in Russia. That's one of the rare entertainment opportunities outside getting drunk/high.

[Murrah]

I don't care how fake it was, that fire extinguisher part had me cracking up. Reminded me of the jetpack from Arrested Development

[Cake Boss]

Russia looks lile the most depessing boring country out there. My god is there ever any sun in the country and not to mention everyone there looks bored as hell.

Seeing a faucet drink a glass of water made me a complete human being.

I lost it here and my ribs were hurting the rest of the video.

Is that fuckin' Torgo back there?

[PantyPhantom]

The women are pretty and easy and vodka is cheap.

Those are the positives for Russia.

[legacyzero]

Yep. That was the video I needed to start my day LOL

I have no idea what is going on here, but it's the best gif I've seen in a while BAHAHA

The same thing that is up with almost all of those videos. Shit tons of vodka.

[Loxley]

I immediately thought this would be about that boob-grabbing video.

[Spat_triate]

I lost it when the tap 'drank' the water.

[Hasardeur]

oh, a Russian youtube videos thread again

Yeah its gotta be fake. Go to 19 seconds and you can see hes attached to some kind of contraption that is being held by the people farther back in the car.



It almost looks like he is pulling it or holding on to it for balance.

[DonMigs85]

Lol the flying penis. I remember that from years ago.

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

In Soviet Russia, AK-47 also doubles as a bus ticket.

[Prez]

I can't tell which is worse, those people or chavs.

There should be a Russia vs Japan Videos thread.

Would be glorious.

Oh i hate that video..

I'd love a russian gaf user's perspective on this

[SLV]

why ?

[waypoetic]

why ?

Jealousy.

[lethial]

Russian fight videos are great to watch. Those guys know how to throw down.

[sangreal]

Ended up watching the whole thing. Comedy goldmine

Finally found the source on that gif of the kid who gets slammed with backpacks.

Haha, my thoughts exactly.

[subversus]

it was already provided in this thread.

my mom and her friends used to jump on their bicycles into the river when they were young. Me and my friend used to scale buildings on construction sites (sixth grade if I remember right). We also used to make our own bungee jumps. I really don't see what is the big deal about that. Shit can happen to you everywhere, whenever you try something dangerous or just walk in the street. Also almost all people in these videos are either young or drunk. If they are young they have nobody to care about except themselves. If they are drunk then it's just alcohol at play.

The extinguisher is actually pointing downward. Not to mention if there was ever that much propulsion in a thing like that, we'd all be blown to hell trying to put out fires with them. But the most damning evidence is the fact that when he's on the ground after the whole thing, it still goes off, and it's just lying there. It should be darting around the room killing people if it had enough energy to lift a guy
