timiacobucci Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I went to the 2009 Central Florida Highland Games this last weekend. This even was brutal, they said this caber was 120lbs but allot of veterans swore it was much heavier. The wind was also very strong which made it hell to balance. A few very strong elite powerlifters I know could not even get it off the ground successfully (I won't name names). This is a serious feat and this guy and only a few others actually got it fully over like this. This guy also nearly tagged me with a 22lb hammer while I was running the hammers back for them waiting out in the field. He threw it nearly 100 feet and it was sailing straight at me and I moved to the right and it moved to the right and I jumped back to the left again with not much time to spare. I will try and post more pictures and videos when I get a chance to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of that video is the name of the response to it "Helicopter gives deer blow job saving its life." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
