‘sup?
Propulsive pair Daragh O’Connor and Ciarán Ó Scanláin treat Dublin city as their very own gym.
Until the guards put an end to it.
Gravity-mocking tykes.

Everything. As It Happens.
That is cool.
Fair play to the lads for leaving their shirts on.
Guard probably said ‘Lose the h-altitude’.
Only a matter of time.
Hm. Pretty sure that sculpture wasn’t mounted by people thinking “I need to account for the loading on the structure caused by some gobshite without enough health insurance swinging off it like the city was his playground”. What was his backup plan if the mounting broke?
I think you’ll find that public sculptures do take extra load weight into account when being designed so you’re completely wrong there.
I worked for a firm who built many sculptures you see around Ireland in public places. Extra weight from people climbing on them, from trees etc. hitting them were always taken into account.
Yeah, and sure why not forget about wind loading while you’re at it Mark?
“Sure there’s no wind in Ireland that’d be stronger than a man. Sure we’ve never had a storm at all at all.”
Classic sh*te talk from someone who just wants to begrudge a couple of eejits their fun but make it sound like he knows what he’s talking about it.
That’s a really good point Mark. Also goes for the bottom of the Ha’penny Bridge: those metal bars weren’t built for people to hang out of them so that guy is probably compromising the structural integrity of the bridge and endangering hundreds if not thousands of lives. So irresponsible.
So they’ll support hundreds of people walking across the bridge that they’re supporting but won’t support one person hanging off them? Are you joking or just thick? It’s so hard to tell on this site.
Bit of pointless attention seeking really.
Would love to them do it from the top of the spire
The amount of bird sh1t he’s probably got on him from being up on that statue..
Thats probably the sh*test “parkour” video I’ve ever watched
Yeah, I thought parkour was more jumping off things onto other things and doing ninja rolls when you land and swinging off bars and bouncing off walls. This is more monkey bars and balancing on things.
In fairness there’s nothing in the video that mentions parkour – that’s entirely Broadsheet’s doing.
I have to agree, this was climbing and hanging with a severe lack of running and jumping, and don’t get me started on the music….
It isn’t parkour.
Broadsheet were incorrect in labelling it parkour.
But its ok because the headline was great.
They’ve sacrificed their journalistic credentials on the altar of comedy.
what again ?
great vid, fair play to the two lads, thats some talent they have
