New tree climbing event

http://www.ongbak.com.au/competition/treerace.html

Take a look at the "Tree Race" trailer

The branch walking (running) was impressive

The competitive spirit was a touch overheated. I'm assuming there were a dozen ambulances waiting off camera to haul away the maimed climbers.

Looks like a great opportunity for a TCI instructor to run some courses. I can see it now, "ok, the first safety rule is, no pushing your fellow climber out of the tree!"

Also rope sales people take note, there's a strong market opportunity there!

I could almost move that fast on the basketball court when I was young.

Also, Great!!!!! now people know all about the wrong ways for tree climbing. This ain't going help.

But man could they move.

Reminds me of the first Panama trip. In many ways. Especially being covered in mud.

It might just be me but the winner sure looked like Eliot.
