Amazing...
Hot Docs
Yamakasi

10pm – 11.25pm SBS
Tuesday 17 April 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For more than 10 years the Yamakasi have defied the laws of gravity; climbing walls, leaping between buildings and creating a new athletic code rooted in discipline, self sacrifice and physical endurance. They transform their oppressive concrete environment into one of fantasy, possibility and play. The men share the values of friendship, honesty, humility and courage as they discover their weaknesses and learn to overcome them.

I am dloading the show...(I hope!)

i actually go ok on them Bandit.

About 10 yrs ago I used to hook up with about 50 others in the city each Wed night starting at the Art Centre.
We would go everywhere including down the mcg steps down elevators , down chinatown hill, and a few other places and end up breaking into a 10 story carpark (someone would jump the fence and open the gate, we would then go up in the lift and then blade down the carpark with only the exit signs for lighting.
I'm telling u it was unreal, sort of like human ninja turtles.
amazing time.
Its not on any more I dont think...
