6 minutes of your life that you will never get back

This video concerns me.  On so many levels.  At first I was worried because it suggests that we might not need horses in order to jump big jumps.  Then I noticed the music, and then I started thinking about why did they take off their pants but leave on the tie and sunglasses?

This video is BSFW--barely safe for work--in the sense that you can watch it and still go to heaven but you definitely don't want a co-worker to wander up behind you because they will not understand.



I was trying to think of one word describing the video and I couldn't, so I pose the question to Eventing Nation: what is one adjective that describes that video?  Creepy?  Cool?

In a strange twist of fate I was subjected to found this video twice in one day.  Once in an email from Suzanne C, and then from StableWoman Gazette.

Well...They certainly look better in their boxers than most show jumpers do.

Oh yeah, adjective(s): strangely awesome.

This is hilarious, impressive and inspirational. If you sit quietly enough, those big jumps should be nothing for your horse. I bet Katie Prudent gave them a pep talk before they came out!

Okay...here ya go John:

sexy

hot

Studs

No wonder Germany is so popular with the horse crowd.

odd is the adjective that I would use...was interesting and entertaining as usual for your videos! :)

impressive.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

wow

No adjectives -- only questions. Such as why? Why would anyone do this? And more importantly how? How did these men find each other???

John, you owe me six minutes.

I would describe this as pretty "fly"...

Once upon a time there was a sport called HIGH JUMPING. This sport used two standards with a pole stretched across the standards and held by metal holders. There were equal markings up each standard, so the pole would remain parallel to the ground as it was moved up when jumpers moved to the next level. People jumped the pole using the positions these jumpers used (right or left forward). It was an Olympic sport. Then one year a country came with poles to use as a projectile to get over even higher jumps; the altered Olympic sport was born. Sounds like Eventing; changing. So these fellows are performing the old fashion high jump with horse jumps. How quaint!

I am left with so many questions. such as, when are the Horse Man Team coming to Seattle? What is the selection process? How do they let the ones who don't make it down?

OK, I have the identities of these guys. Buzzterbrown, The Carrot, John and.....DOC! :)

Maybe the next EN poll should ask who we would like to be in the Horse Man team....

Is this some sort of jump off for strippers

If they get too close to the base, they'd be called "Chip in" Dales.

In light of the costs involved with the World
Extortion Games, Germany has announced that the show jumping team is undergoing major cost saving "changes."

The team's first pulic demonstration shows that they are certainly capable of finishing on the podium, with many clear rounds noted.

However, during the demonstration the chef d'equipe was informed about the recent FEI rule on the weight of their pants. Some clothing changes are also in order, according to an inside informer.

Adjective: BitemeFEI
