When the guys were interviewed by the bbc they said they actually are adrenalin junkies in there own words. The RNLI wasn't best pleased with them. They also did the same to one of the other piers on the sussex coast so they are pretty confident and know what they are doing seeing as they have a back up team....It was a good job it was extremely windy coz they wouldn't have got the required lift in time and they certainly would have been..... :oops: or even killed if it gone wrong

Don't suppose you can really other than start on something not so difficult...Mind you adrenalin junkies thrive on this kind of adventure and just do it based on past success i guess...Abit like those idiots in the Jackass movies..Now they are bonkers

Nails? nah... that's just extreme sports.

This however .... is NAILS. as is what our guys (and gals) are doing every day out there.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/campaigns/our_boys/3210951/Rambo-style-Gurkha-in-solo-Taliban-blitz.html
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here
