Total Wipeout

As this new show hits the UK by storm I have taken the opportunity to pass comment on one of the four games. The winner of this show was ‘Extreme Steve’, the second Extreme enthusiast to win in two weeks. Does this beg the question that extreme sports could be the new way of improving your speed, agility, strength and stamina?

This clip is based around the second event ‘The Sweaper’ where the aim is to jump over a spinning arm as it gains both height and speed. Most people use the wrong tactics in this event as they jump forward or backwards, putting them off balance on the already thin platform. Others do not make it high enough and have they legs taken out from below causing the audience (the television viewers) to laugh whilst feeling their pain of slamming their face into the platform. What an idea!
