I think not wearing trousers and a shirt is unnecessarily limiting your movement, especially descending. Unless you really like scratches.

The Slow Mo Guys have a new show on youtube called The Super Slow Show. It's okay. However, a recent episode is really cool. It's about sumo wrestlers. I never really thought about sumo wrestling since it doesn't have much cultural presence here, so I guess I always assumed it was just two fat guys slamming into each other. It's actually super cool though. These guys have a body type you don't really see anywhere else where they somehow have huge muscles underneath enormous amounts of fat. Check out this clip from battle between Yama (bun) and Byamba (bald).



Those slaps look weak, especially considering how Yama reacts to them. He almost looks like he's laughing as they bounce off of his chest. Now let's see it again in slow motion.




Good lord. Every one of those slaps would knock me flat on my rear end. Yama took more than 10 of them in 2 seconds and hardly moved an inch! These are some true athletes.

While most of the stuff that happens in The Super Slow Show doesn't really gain anything by being filmed in slow motion, this one is really neat. Plus, slow-mo footage of people exerting themselves always provides the funniest faces.



I would like to conclude this post by saying that Imgur's video to gif tool should allow you to type in the start and end times, and also requesting more badass sumo wrestling pics, gifs, and videos.

I remember watching sumo on ESPN2 back in college when the channel would show all sorts of weird sporting events & our friends really got into it.

Sumo is cool.

You could sneeze on that guy and all that body fat would roll away in the same way. Sure they are strong as poo poo but that's a lovely way to 'prove' it.

Maybe they're trying to show that having a lot of loose fat acts like crumple zones on a car to reduce internal injuries?

Goon understands how massive amounts of body fat works; more at 11.

Gonna start telling fat chicks they have crumple zones to help withstand impact, wish me luck

Or maybe it's sorta like how Hyenas have loose skin on their hindquarters so that if another animal chomps on their rear end their skin has enough give to allow them to twist around and bite back.

In a twist of absolute irony, building a robot to play a synthesizer is going to be the hardest one to build because there are just so.......wait, sequencers already exist...ahem Once again industrial music has been paving the way for the future of all robot bands!

I'm not a fan of motorhead, so it could just be that the song is supposed to sound like that, but listening to those robots play I couldn't identify a single thing I would call music. Is it a "close enough to count if your a big fan" type thing?

It's not mixed so the drums overpower the rest, and the vocals are missing.

Some of the related videos of the same robots make it easier to tell.
