NO HANDS 8C ROOF CLIMB | VLOG #79

[@fritzbox6764]

Hey Magnus, thanks for all the content. Here are my ideas: 1. Tutorials will broaden your audience. Especially tutorials for beginners. (This one is obvious.Also I think those would be boring for you, so refer to my other ideas.) 2. Pick a route or (more practical) a boulder indoors or outdoors and go into detail how to do it. (And actually climb it obviously) Often people on YT just explain what you can already see but don't tell you what you can't see. I guess it's hard to explain but if anyone can do it, it's you. Just anything that you can think of what may be of relevance to solve the climb. 3. Tricks that you learned or invented during your career. Like that rope swing to the first clip gabriel moroni did in arco. I'm not a route climber so I didn't know that one but is was hilarious. (You probably would have to incorporate those into other videos. Kinda like the "pro tips" you already do but maybe more serious. Though your "pro tips" are still awesome.) 4. Something that might broaden your audience further, because non-climbers might want to see it as well: Spectacular stuff on routes and boulders. Like you always had to show off one finger pullups and front levers for the "normie-cameras". People love that stuff. Awesome dynos, combinations of long moves in the roof, footless stuff, very fast moves, basically anything where people say "what??!". Like you would want to advertise climbing. (Think of red bull, how they always show the extremes). You obviously know this already but I think you can do this in shorter videos as well when you get the hang of it. (Tomoa Narasakis workout clips on his instagram are another example. Even though they are no full and edited videos I still love them.) Some stuff may not be for you, for example explanation and teaching(?), but I hope you got something from this long post. (Sorry for the length) Keep crushing

[@fritzbox6764]

Also of course your videos are already awesome! I watch them as soon as I see them coming out.

[@magmidt]

Thanks man! Absolutely agree. I will try to incorporate more of the ideas you mention.

[@coltonheeney4291]

But most importantly, grow a thick beard and take your shirt off more, better yet leave it on the hanger in your closet.

[@fritzbox6764]

Magnus Midtbø It seems to work, your muscle up video already has over 250k views! 👍

[@Maxisokol]

We love you Magnus, keep doing what you feel like doing and don't be too hard on yourself. But from "marketing and growing the channel" point of view, I think doing collaborations and being more social and visible in the climbing community is the way to progress. And it shouldn't be too hard for you, since I think almost every other climber knows your name. Cheers!

[@magmidt]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@coltonheeney4291]

Agreed Maxisokol, and if he could grow a third nipple anywhere on his torso then he would be absolutely unstoppable

[@queuecueq]

I think that no matter what you do, climbing wise, people will be interested. Even if it's, "just gym climbing", people are interested because that is actually what you do for the majority of the training. I personally watch for the climbing as well as your personality. If you find a way to put your personality into shorter videos, even if they are shorter with less editing, I, and many others, will still watch and be interested.

[@StabBacker]

agreed :) I just enjoy the videos because it's motivating to see someone else doing all the "boring repetitive" stuff ^_^ it makes me wanna try harder myself.

[@magmidt]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@coltonheeney4291]

I want to piggy back on this comment and just add that if you grow a full beard and take your shirt off more frequently then I will be a more devoted viewer of you videos. Food for thought.

[@CalebBohanon]

@@magmidt 3 years later, and your climbing still shines as as bright as your personality. Keep rocking on ✌️

[@stemapoweredcom5536]

@@coltonheeney4291 HAHAHA I can't disagree though

After climbing 8c flawlessly, "It didnt feel so good, I felt shakey..." But here I am struggling to get up stairs in my house.

[@TheMeaningofLifeee]

Anything Climbing is always awesome to watch!!! New routes/boulder problems/route setting. Look forward to new videos as much as possible.

[@magmidt]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@calistakim7692]

Magnus, I am not sure if you still see this comment, but I have recently stumbled upon your vlog and was immediately hooked. Now I have been watching from vlog #1! Your are the fist channel on KZbin that I've been faithfully following. Personally, I think that your vlog captures the true side of you, your personality (goofiness, in particular, which I love) and climbing as well is what makes your channel much more interesting. IF I wanted to watch only climbing, I would've popped over to other climbing videos. Seeing comments below, I think people prefer more climbing oriented videos, but I do hope you still include your lifestyle that comes with climbing and non climbing! (I love your talking as well :)) I am on vlog #79 and haven't watched the most recent ones, but it seems that the frequency of video uploading has been decreasing. Oh well, as long as you don't stop vlogging, that would be fine! Keep living the dream. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers from South Korea

[@kieranjohnson6582]

I'll quite happily watch whatever you upload. Your climbing is awesome to get me psyched, and when you're not climbing, it's easy to just sit back and watch (especially when you're being goofy). What I would love to see though, which I don't think I've seen anywhere before, is something like you set yourself a project, and have episodes in which you train for it, keep trying it and get closer and closer until you finally get it. I think it'd be really cool to see what goes through your mind in that scenario, as well as how you overcome the obstacles you encounter :)

[@magmidt]

Thanks man! I will definitely do that. I hope to travel and find myself a project soon..

[@kieranjohnson6582]

Magnus Midtbø awesome! I'm glad you liked it :) keep up the hard work, you'll go far

[@coltonheeney4291]

But he'll only go so far unless he takes his shirt of more often....that will be the key to his success. everyone works hard. Not everyone takes their shirt off enough to make it all the way in this world. True happiness and all the riches are reserved for only those most shirtless in their pursuits.

[@martinc.2276]

I always enjoyed your vlogs but because i feel you enjoy them as much as we do. I am sure anything you feel comfortable doing and that you enjoy making will be really worth watching!

[@magmidt]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@patrickhalliwell4593]

I love the day in the life stuff as well as the climbing. Its great to see you goof off and have fun with it. you do you Magnus.

[@magmidt]

Thanks! Yeah I also don't think it should be too serious all the time.

[@coltonheeney4291]

On a serious not though, lose the shirt Magpie.

[@rubenpuebla9545]

2 things, I think: - Tutorials, for climbing and training - videos of you pulling really hard or doing some crazy training shit. Climbing vids do two things for me. They either teach me something or they get me psyched. I'd also love to see you set a route or boulder specifically for your training purposes. You're super human to the rest of us, it would be neat to see you set something that even you couldn't do right away.

[@magmidt]

Good feedback! Thanks!

[@danielharper834]

One of the main reasons i love climbing is because of the lifestyle that comes along with it. Personally i think you are living the dream. I love seeing what you do when you're not climbing, and you have a very likeable personality on camera. My suggestion would be to keep doing what you're doing and dont exclude the car bits, eating bits, travel bits, meetings and other non-climbing related stuff because it adds something that we often dont get to see. If i want to see purely climbing related content i'll just pop over to Eric Karlsson's page. Cheers

[@magmidt]

Thank you! Personally I would love to show more of that! That was the reason I got into KZbin in the first place - To show the more real raw side of what I do. It seems like most people want to see more climbing related vids though. Showing only climbing and training would probably attract a larger audience, but at the same time I feel like my other SoMe channels are for that and I want to keep YT somewhat genuine.

[@aidenwoodard9187]

Almost as cool as a no hands 9c roof. Adam Ondra is insane!!!!!

[@El_Magician]

the people who see your vlogs, are generally interested not only in climbing, but also in your lifestyle, since in a certain way you made it look interesting, which is great, continue with what suits you, good luck magnus

[@Instanes1]

Shorter videos is alot better than no video at all. :D And what you have made so far is great.

[@magmidt]

I will definitely not stop now. Wish to improve and I think the best way to do so, is by listening to you guys😊

[@coltonheeney4291]

I agree. The best way for you to improve is to listen to us. And if you've been paying attention, then you know your next move as a professional climber is to get rid of all your shirts. Auction them off. You don't need them now. Your destiny is a shirtless one.

[@twigle3015]

Another nice vlog. Really enjoy watching you climb and also like how you traverse the treacherous waters of sponsorship, the future of the vlog and the content of the vlog. I like how you deal with all of these things and how you are trying to be ethical and true to yourself. I also enjoyed the information about the shoes you gave.

[@magmidt]

Thanks Erwin!

[@qthemusiq4461]

Even if you aren't climbing, I like the way you narrate and putting together your regular life. Throw in some scenes from basic Norwegian lifestyle, such as taco day, that I heard about most Norwegians.

[@magmidt]

Good idea to put in more of the basic Norwegian lifestyle!

[@Matze950]

Hi Magnus, please keep on doing what you do! Your long vlogs are great as I can chose to watch the full vlog or jump forward if something isn't interesting to me. And keep on talking about your gear! We all know you're sponsored so it's ok and every hobby climber talks about his gear as well. Just tell us what you use and why you use it or like it. If we buy it or not is our decision! Your explanations about Scarpa were cool, but I still use the La Sportiva Miura and love it :-) Take care and keep on motivating us gumby climbers! P.S. No one else takes as much time to answer to comments as you do!

[@andreaallegrini9317]

Best climbing vlog on youtube! I think what you done until now is excellent, interesting and entertaining, if you want to add some climbing technique tutorials and tips that also might be interesting.

[@magmidt]

Thanks you! I will definitely try😊

[@DarkPeanutHD]

Magnus maybe you could build a gopro mount with a screw which fits into the nuts from the climbing wall. Would make it so easy to mount it into the walls in your gym! Keep up the good content.

[@magmidt]

I will definitely do that! We actually talked about it the other day. And when I get my phone back I will be able to start and stop it from the ground, so that's perfect!

[@bogtri]

Hi Magnus! Thanks a lot for your inspiring videos. Maybe, you should consider making a series of related videos. Here are a couple of examples: - If you plan to project (or repeat) some hard route that is challenging for you it would be very interesting to see videos where you explain how you prepare for that route. Like, which moves are hard for you and how you train them in the gym etc. - If coaching is an option for you, pick some guy in the gym that aims to climb 7A (just an example) and make videos where you help him to prepare for that grade. Sorry, if I repeat already written ideas. Take care!

[@runarbs]

Keep up the vlogs how ever you feel like it. Just don´t quit (my thoughts because of the sad music). These videos are my weekly go to when it comes to climbing vids.

[@magmidt]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@raffaelrusso7397]

It's amazing what you're doing for the sport! The more different types of video you post, the more people will start looking for the sport. When I started watching your videos I had never even heard about the word 'bouldering' and I searched many things on the internet to keep up with some expressions you used! That's where you gotta act!!! You can/should talk more about the types of climbing, types of training, types of competition, pontuation in competition, expressions, the materials you use (ropes, walls, magnesium carbonate, etc), about how are the grades defined, about your sponsors and which are the companies that actually help the development of the sport!! There are SO MANY THINGS that lay (but interested) people would love to see and learn from the best! You should definetly keep up with the vlogging, and make it a playlist of the channel, while you create new playlist(s) about things that can bring new people into the sport, and also into the channel. I am saying this as a person who watched almost all of your vlogs and HAVE NEVER CLIMBED YET!!! I watch just because I like the song, the style, the peace, your personality, but I felt the lack of information about the sport in your vlogs! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@eusebiomartinarenas]

I love your videos man! Keep doing what you feel is right! And i would also love to know more about your fingerboards!

[@RamiNajjar]

You in the gym is just fine, gets me psyched. even if you percieve it as repetitive it isn't to me. gym and outside are my favorites for psych fueling.

[@magmidt]

Thank you!

[@coltonheeney4291]

Shirtlessness is my psychfuel.

[@fgrunta]

Hi Magnus! I can completely see how this channel would take a lot of your time... probably because the content, editing and visuals are better than any other KZbin climbing channel! Don't leave us! 😭😭😭

[@torbjoern1]

I would love to see videos on climbing tips and tricks :D Maybe one where you talk to us about how you read a rute and what you take notice on.

[@magmidt]

That's a good idea!

[@IchBonz]

the GoPro footage was really awesome!!!

[@Flavlomb]

Man I like watching your Vlog, because I feel you love what you do. And that i think it's very important ! Do what you like ! I Watching you from France

[@MatsOland]

Utrolig gøy å følge med på vlogsa dine: ) Fortsett med uploads

[@lifeontwowheels3964]

you should do some tutorials for sure!! maybe do some grazy dynos and training stuff like you used to do! maybe videos about telling how to train like for different boulders and routres, like how to train for slopers vs how to train to long crimpy routes and some stuff like that.

[@codytilley6836]

I think tutorial or tips and tricks videos would be a good idea. I have hit a plateau of V4/5 and keep seem to increase my power endurance. So I think training tips would be great. Also throwing in some gear recommendations for different climbing abilities/purposes could be a good addition as well. But whatever you decide to do we will still watch!

[@jamesmehall5714]

I think adding variety to the vlog as you and others have mentioned would be good because it will appeal to more people. Personally, I enjoy long style vlogs such as this one because it is similar to watching an episode of TV, but having a mix of longer videos and shorter videos with different concepts behind them might appeal to a larger audience. Channel is awesome, been watching single vlog 1!

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Magnus your Vlogs are inspiring, I learn so much from watching them not to mention you are a pretty funny dude. Things I would love to see are different styles of workouts, finger training, boulder training, setting climbs/boulders, gear you use, gear you would recommend, outdoor and indoor climbing/bouldering, would be great to see more of your projects. Your vlogs are really good, keep it up dude :-) Also I'm off to buy some scarpa shoes to try them out, if you recommend them they must work.

[@magmidt]

Thanks man! I hope they work as well for you, as they do for me:)

[@andresclaridge]

Hey Magnus. Great channel. I am always looking forward to your updates. A random question if I may. I am going to Norway in the next week and will be near the area of Eksingedal. I was wondering if you know of any bouldering areas near by or gyms? Would love to go to yours but I think if a bit far as it's in Oslo. Anyway be great to get some local info. All the best and look forward your next upload. Andres.

[@Thrusthamster]

After climbing there for a week I just wanna say that Adam sets the hardest routes. Tell him to chill so I can send something

[@magmidt]

Hahah yeah his routes and boulders can be pretty stiff for the grade. But keeps you grounded and trying harder;)

[@Ossyboyen22]

If youre looking to grow your channel, ofcourse the first step is to figure out what audience you want to hit, and then appropriating your videos from that standpoint. For example if your target audience is going to be the climbing community then going ahead with a good mix of intructing videos for begginners, intermediate videos for people that are already into climbing, and videos where you showcase your individual skill as a climber would problably be a good starting point. If youre instead looking to bring in "everyone", then videos of "insane" stuff would give you a chance of getting viral videos, strength challenges and competions between climbers(like Nile Wilson does for gymnastics) would be a good place to start in this department. In the end I believe that sort of doing what youre doing is good, we love your personality and your mix of videos, and if you keep doing what youre doing, you will slowly build an audience like any another youtuber. :)

[@ArinmarDeKaldenoc]

Well..im quite late to the Party as it seems..but maybe there are ppl that are new to climbing or just came back like me after years of not been able to climb. I tried alot of shoes as well and for me as "beginner" ( i consider myself as such after like 10 years not climbing at all ) the "Scarpa Vapor V" are crazy good to start from. Well balanced between stiffness and comfort. As u said maybe alittle bit more expansive but its a shoe i will use for a long time.

[@davidkarrer4863]

i´d love to see some tutorials where you pack in your knowledge about training and such things

[@magmidt]

I will try😊

[@kyleellefson8211]

Hey man, love your stuff. Watch every video you post as soon as I see it! I say that I would love to see you continue the vlogs but also want you to not do stuff that just adds more stress. I think if you truly just did what you find most enjoyable I would love it. If you did less videos but longer or just compiled a few days into one. Or honestly just the awesome stuff you want to share. I love it all so thank you for sharing all your videos!

[@magmidt]

Thanks a lot Kyle!

[@NickyAztec]

I love watching you climb, but it would be incredible to get some commentary from you about the moves you're making dubbed over while we watch you climb.

[@horstzwei]

keep on going. so nice... vlog on!

[@magmidt]

Thanks😊

[@andreashedin586]

Great stuff! Regarding the videos I definetly think you would create more drag to your channel if you did more tutorial like videos aswell, climbing technique, training etc. For me though I really like the vlog format since you can only watch that many "feet placement technique tutorials". Some project series or something would also be really cool to watch, to see how someone of your level tackles something really hard.

[@magmidt]

Thanks! Yeah, I also feel there are a lot of those on KZbin already, but I will try and maybe make them a bit different..

[@Thejohnster1012]

as a beginner, i think short tutorials would help draw attention while remaining relatively low effort and high quality as with everything else on this channel. great stuff !

[@aamj50]

I love the vlog and will watch whatever you decide to produce! How long (distance climbed) do you think that black 8C was? It looked like the longest gym climb in history :D

[@magmidt]

Thanks Michael! I think it's around 25 meters.

[@PanikiDinBil]

Would love some more highend tutorials. And some training tips as well

[@magmidt]

I will try to incorporate that😊

[@coltonheeney4291]

Nothing says highend tutorial like a shirtless instructor. Not trying to harass you, just trying to ensure you produce the highest value content possible.

[@simiimis2057]

Hey Magnus, thanks for another entertaining vlog. Regarding your comment to scarpa shoes for toe hooking: I can suggest to try the skwama from la sportiva for toe hooking. I know you are sponsored by scarpa now, but it wouldnt hurt to try out new stuff right? ;) However, I don't know if you can ever make a vlog about comparing shoes from different companies - I guess there will be conflict with your sponsoring contract... Anyways, great vlogs! Keep going! Cheers PS: Have been you been thinking of doing some mixed routes during winter?

Hey really enjoying the vlogs, I think general lifestyle of a professional climber is interesting, I'd be interested to know what your diet Intel's supplements ect some pay a lot of attention into this some claim they don't as much where do you fall into this category? I've picked up the vlogs about half way through so sorry if you covered this in a earlier vlog.. good work and hope to see more vlogs and tutorials made in the future...

[@samuelpalmer8732]

I think if you want the channel to grow, shorter, more frequent videos are the future. Personally I think the outdoor climbing videos are the best, especially the bouldering ones. The vlog with mickey mouse was my fav so far :)

[@magmidt]

Hey Samuel, Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I agree. Though it's a lot easier for me to make a 20 min video, rather than 2 x 10 mins. But I aim to please and I will try to keep them shorter. I have heard that YouTub's algorithm favor videos longer than 10 mins. So I'll probably try to aim at right above 10 mins.

[@coltonheeney4291]

KZbin's algorithms favor videos with your shirt off. Trust me.

[@jutrbr]

Some videos on nutrition would be interesting. Like what you eat before and after training.

Hey Magnus! I would personally really love to hear some tutorials about training methods from you! Having said that, I think that people will enjoy the vlogs even if you personally feel that they're repetitive. I still enjoy them at least. ;-)

[@iluecha]

Look at you! I started to watch your VLOGS / videos probably around a year and a half ago... Then it was already clearly more "evolved" than this one. But still a very nice thing to see the progress, the thinking you made etc. Plus, in the climbing gym, at least it was my impression, you were kind of little bit insecure. This one - insecurity, is one of the few things missing in you nower days videos :-) Great Job, Magnus!

I would just like you to upload as much as possible/you want. I prefer it to be climbing in the videos but if that's not always possible because of uploading a lot then that's also fine. So if you upload vlogs or just normal videos doesn't matter to me, i just prefer a lot of videos :D

could someone explain the tags at 5:35? im use to just seeing a route name and one grade

[@philipppuchner1115]

what excactly do you mean? Date, name of the route setter, name of the route, grade in french grade and below the signature of the vertical life climbing app, which means, the climbing gym is in the app + the route is in the Topo there. Just use the App store on your Smartphone or Tablet. Since your question is at least 1 year old, you surely have figured that out by now :)

[@rodrigocastanon7515]

I think that shorter climbing videos would work really well also!! but keep going magnus we love your vlog!

[@AnusBonobonus]

I'm just saying about the scarpa (drago) if you're paying for the shoes not worth it (last dragos lasted 1 month and a half) also they're exceptional shoes but they're just not made to last at all, which is sad. I'm just enjoying everything that you're doing Magnus, and i can't wait after 3 days of waiting for your vlog, but it's also part of the game. Just do as you feel, i'll always support you anyways. =)

Finally! :D

[@magmidt]

Thanks for helping me out with the camera!

[@zengammon]

Tutorials! I think you would probably have a fresh take on tutorials that would be good and fun. Great channel already!

[@Thrusthamster]

I think maybe GoPro footage works best when people do multi-pitch and use it while belaying either from the bottom or the top. Gets too up close to the rock and jittery otherwise.

[@magmidt]

It's great for multi-pitch. I think it can provide good angels on routes and boulders as well. I just need to find a way to attach it to the wall. It's not very good in low light though.

[@tylerm124]

I k ow this is like a year old video, but if your ever near central east coast usa let me know I can come out and film on my racing drone or my micro whoop for indoor gym climbing. It would be super fun.

Shorter Videos is a good idea 👍

I agree. Though, making a short vlog is almost as much work for me as making a long vlog. But it's probably different if I were to make other kind of videos.

[@fabiomangolini]

please expain to all sunday climbers like me how, you pro climbers, clip so fast when you climb so i can save a bit of my poor endurance...anyway i follow your vlog since the beginning and i can tell it's motivating for all of us who enjoy climbing. thanks

[@magmidt]

Haha I think it mainly comes from the amount of draws we have clipped, but I can maybe show some different techniques in a video once:)

[@KelvinClimber]

well, making shorter video's could work to, or like somethinge like kinda montage like video's of boulders and routes you do, I myself mostly mostly make montage like video's cause i tend to enjoy my video's that way best, maybe cause my editing skills are very soft still, you could also make talk over diffrent type of climbs where you explain what you are doing step for step very simple or more advanced. Wanted to leave this so you got some idea's talk over climbs video i have seen a climbing youtuber named Mani The Monkey do allot, and those video's were cool, were he try to be as informative as possibol. Of course vlogs take a long time to make, just normal video's take a long time to make

[@nolksey4697]

Hi Magnus. I would guess that there are more beginners than pro climbers watching your channel. Therefore, like so many others, I also would like to suggest tutorials. But do it a little bit differently. When you climb/boulder a route or work out in the training room, you make things look easy. But I experienced myself (intermediate) that the reality is totally different. The holds you are using can be considered non-existent for me. What looks like a small hopp for you on youtube is in reality a mega dino. What looks a little steep is totally overhanging in reality. So my suggestion is the following: Define different target groups/topics: I.e. This tutorial is dedicated to the intermediate climber (5a to 6b) and we are dealing with crimping in vertical/overhanging terrain. It would be important to show the contrast between you, the pro climber, and the intermediate climber doing the same route/boulder, to really make people understood how hard it is for the regular person. Based on the “mistakes” of the intermediate, you can build up you tutorial. And as a non-Norwegian living in Norway, I would like to encourage you to show more of regular Norwegian life. I have seen that you can keep a critical distance 😊. I really enjoy your channel. It provides a great deal of motivation. Still love your comment from some time ago “… climbing is 99 percent about failure”. Please keep it up. Cheers.

Probably you really need a smartphones' sponsor as well...:-)

And, by the way, it's always a pleasure to see about you, whatever you decide to put on the camera. You're a smart and cool guy, excellent climber. You just help me thinking I can still improve, even at 47.. So please, continue to be yourself, because it worth a lot, believe me.

I am more likely to watch a full 7 minute video of cuts of you trying some problems than these 30 minute vlogs, which I usually skip around on to get to the climbing. So if it's easier for you to do a shorter more focused video, I think that just as many of your followers will watch it.

Thank you for the feedback! It's actually a lot easier for me to make longer videos, rather than make shorter more frequent videos. But I will try my best to keep the length down. And if I make longer videos I will add a time link (like in this vlog) so that it's easy for people to skip straight to the climbing.

I must contest one false claim made in this video. A girls foot is not just a smaller version of a guys foot. Someone isn't thinking with their taste buds.

Less talking, more climbing (Tips and tricks are also nice)

[@TheGreinprecht]

I love your vlogs and the climbing, but you seriously should cut a lot of the talking, its a 30 Minute long video with 12 Minutes of climbing in it....

[@magmidt]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, there was a lot of talking in this one. I don't know if you saw I put a time link at the very top of the description so that people can only watch the climbing. I think that is a pretty good way to do it. That way those who only want to watch the climbing can skip straight to it, while those who wish can watch the longer vlog can do that. Though I probably won't make many vlogs this long..

[@BlocBusters]

you should shorten your Vlogs, i think 26min is too long. in my opinion you should aim for ~10 minutes. keep up the good work!

Clickbait

[@magmidt]

Hey Gobbi, Yeah, maybe. Though, I think most people who upload a video to KZbin try to find a catchy title and thumbnail to spike people's interest. As long as it's somewhat relevant to the video I don't feel too bad doing it.

[@gobbidimerda2496]

I like your videos and always watch them, they are inspiring. Obviously I didn't expect to see you climbing a roof with no hands, you're not johnny dawes lol. I just found the title a little bit extreme. Keep on uploading, good job, peace.
