Mad Skills

I have great respect for people whose talents lie in being able to do near impossible – if trivial – things. A few weeks ago, I posted a video of David Bernal aka Elsewhere (the guy in the Orange shirt) doing his incredible body-popping routine (WMV file 3.7MB). This time, here’s Tom Baker (no, not Dr Who), performing a near impossible trick with 2 basketballs (MPG 984KB). What I really like about this is the look of surprise on Tom’s face when he successfully pulls it off.

    That’s pretty good, but it doesn’t even come close to that body-popping freak. :) Any idea what happened to him since his internet fame?

    Like Mal said, that is pretty good. However, the funky spots on those basketballs are really bothering me. I’ve never seen anything like that stateside, and it makes me wish I had something more colorful in my trunk than two plain orange Spaldings.

    Hey, you can’t beat a good old orange spalding.
