In the Epic Carnival Center Ring! Wakeboarding Near Bridges!!

by DCScrap, Our Book of Scrap

Since this is a Carnival after all, we are required by carny law to bring you some sort of act every now and then for your viewing pleasure. I mean you paid good money for these tickets, right? So far in our brief history we've brought you acts such as Rat Baseball and Circus Cannons. Those were decent enough and we may have them back some day (you'd amazed what kind of money those folks make). Today, though we have a super duper special treat for you.

Wakeboarding Near Bridges!

(Videos after the jump.)

Watch what happens when an American genius decides to do a jump as he approaches a bridge.



This guy didn't even get a chance to make it into the air.

In the Epic Carnival Center Ring! Circus Cannons!!

by DCScrap, Our Book of Scrap

Since this is a Carnival after all, we are required by carny law to bring you some sort of act every now and then for your viewing pleasure. I mean you paid good money for these tickets, right? So far in our brief history we've brought acts such as Bikers Going Down Stairs (badly) and Skateboarders Going Down Stairs (badly). Those were decent acts and we may have them back some day (you'd amazed what kind of money those folks make). Today, though we have an extry-special treat for you. Something you just can't get anywhere.

Circus Cannons!!!

Videos after the jump...

A clown dressed as Spiderwoman gets launched. Check me on this, but is there even a Spiderwoman?



A Russian getting blasted ... out of a cannon, we mean.


And finally, you cannot go wrong with Ringling Brothers...

In the Epic Carnival Center Ring! Bodypainted Models Playing Soccer!

by DCScrap, Our Book of Scrap

Today's featured attraction in the Epic Carnival Center Ring is a group of body-painted models playing soccer because, well, who cares why? They're naked ... with paint on them ... playing soccer.

Consider it 39 seconds of glory.

Video after the jump.



UPDATE: The bodypainted models video has been removed so we hope you'll enjoy bodypainted soccer fans as a substitute. We know you'll suffer through it like the trooper you are.

In the Epic Carnival Center Ring: Rat Baseball!

by Richie Rich, Home Run Derby

So I hear the California Angels have quite the rat problem at Angels Stadium. And I don't mean a Gary Gaetti problem - "The Rat" stopped playing there regularly in 1993.

No this is a full blown rat problem. With real rats.

What to do? Play Ball!

Or in this case, play Rat-ball! (Video after the jump.)



BTW, that rat was already dead at the time of filming, so hopefully PETA won't stage a protest outside the palatial headquarters of Epic Carnival.

In the Epic Carnival Center Ring! Pocket Bikes!!

by Our Book of Scrap

We are required by carny law to bring you some sort of act pretty much every day for the exorbitant price of admission we charge. Since we've begun our worldwide tour we've been lucky enough to present to you such stellar acts as Bikers Going Down Stairs, Skateboarders Going Down Stairs, and Midget MMA. So it's with the bar set so very high that I am pleased to bring you yet another act in our lengthy and distinguished cast of athletic marvels.

Fools on pocket bikes!!

Little buggers are hard to balance on.


Don't hit the brakes too hard there, buddy.


Now they're just showing off.

In the Epic Carnival Center Ring! Midget MMA!

by DCScrap, Our Book of Scrap

Since this is a Carnival after all, we are required by carny law to bring you some sort of act each and every day for your viewing pleasure. I mean you paid good money for these tickets, right? So far in our brief history we've brought acts such as Bikers Going Down Stairs (badly) and Skateboarders Going Down Stairs (badly). Those were decent acts and we may have them back some day (you'd amazed what kind of money those folks make). Today, though we have an extry-special treat for you. Something you just can't get anywhere.

Midget Mixed Martial Arts!

Fight #1 features two Thai gentlemen with skills to make Chuck Lidell green with envy.


Our second fight on the card features a referee with a really big rack ... oh yeah, and two short guys fighting it out.


And in our unsanctioned Main Event, two men with the grappling skills of Macho Man Randy Savage. This one is under "Extreme Rules" with no ring, no gloves, and no brains. Stick around for the ending.

In the Epic Carnival Center Ring! Skateboarders and Stairs!!

by Richie Rich, Home Run Derby

Carnivals are all about watching death-defying acts which normal people like you would never consider doing ... unless you were drunk off your ass.

And even then you might not do it unless there was money involved.

Skateboarders seem to lack that basic human sense of self-preservation. Or maybe they're trying to make the annual list of Darwin Award candidates. Maybe they're just always obliterated. Or Stupid.

What is it about putting on a pair of unlaced shoes and stepping onto a plank of four-wheeled plywood that turns off their brain ... you know, the lobe that provides the following internal dialogue ...

"You know, I don't think trying to go down that flight of 14 stairs without touching any of them is really that good of an idea there, Skeetch? By the way, dude, where's our helmet? Are you listening to me? That chick with the big honkers will not do us if our tool is separated from our gonads by that stair-railing."

Ah well ... under our Big Top today and in the Center Ring ... SKATEBOARDERS AND STAIRS !!
First up ... The 14 Stair Crash and roll.
You gotta stick that landing next time, big guy.


Next we have someone named "Beastmaster" attempting 16 Stairs.
You need a new board, dude.


Here's a guy who's smart enough to realize you can't fly over 20+ steps.
Unfortunately, he uses some original thinking and takes the side route ...


Okay ... those guys seemed to get off without a trip to the Hospital. That ends ... right now.
I don't think a helmet would have saved this guy.


You know, we haven't seen anyone use the handrail yet ... handrails are safe, right?
Or Not.


And lastly, let's see why I will not buy my son a skateboard.


Why? Because my insurance isn't that good to cover an "intestinal separation."
And besides, he'll just end up on YouTube ... and eventually Epic Carnival.
