Flat Tony’s Extreme Sports

2009 July 13

You may remember Flat Tony’s Motorcycle Canal Jump in Japan while staying with Ross

Well it seems that he took a Photographer with him to a few stopovers between visits to his International Hosts & did a bit more thrill seeking.

I was flicking through a National Geographic recently & came across an article about Extreme Sports.

I was rather shocked to see these photos…

He began by standing right on the edge of a blow hole & waited for a big wave…

Then a bit of Abseiling

That was pretty tame so he decided Bungee Jumping would be more exciting…

NO Flat Tony!!! Bungee Jumping, NOT Budgie Jumping!!!

He didn’t want to jump but after the humiliation of being called a big girly boy & a sook & a baby & a fraidy cat he couldn’t take it anymore & was finally pushed over the edge…

But the rapid plummet to the bottom of the bungee cord just wasn’t enough adrenelin for this jet setting little feller.

The thrills didn’t stop there as Flat Tony & his photographer boarded another plane & headed for a World renown festival in Pamplona, Spain.

While there he decided to check out the local bovines.

It did not go well…

    I heard that several people got gored at the running of the bulls but I didn’t realize you were one of them, Flat Tony!

      Ahhh there’s nothing like a good goring to get you re-focused & alert

    Flat Tony, no one can call you a chicken! You have more courage than most men quad triple your size! (Sorry, guess Ross is rubbing off on me!) Anyway, stay focused! Avoid those situations where you know you will not get the support you might need! Steer clear of those animals…mean! Avoid high places, whenever possible! Wait a minute, I sound like your mom! UGH…. Go and explore all you want! :)

    Love it. Flat Tony is much better than Mr Bill

    Flat Tony swears a lot less than most people would in the same situation….

      Flat Tony is very in control of his faculties, even amid a bull goring

    Who’s the man? Flat Tony’s the man!! Fantastic! I didn’t know he was into extreme sports.

    Now, that being said, it serves him right for running with the bulls. I say leave the bulls alone! Bully!

      Poor bull….
      He may need to find a less thrill inspiring sport like lawn bowls
      The bull that is, Flat Tony can’t get enough excitement. He may be fulfilling his bucket list. If he recovers from the Bull goring that is….

    I keep forgetting to bring Flat Tony out with me when I go somewhere!! I have him printed out and everything. Looks like he’s having some great adventures. Way to go Flat Tony.

    I’m picturing Flat Tony flapping in the breeze like a flag on his six-inch bungee line…

      No he definitely plummeted. They sticky taped a lead weight to the back of his head just to ensure a good & thorough plummet
