If you film stunts and share them via the internet - this blog is all about you. It's a must read!

Someone should email the dipshit author and give him insight as to what homegrown really is :biggrin:

Actually yeah, and if I recall correctly, several people here submitted clips to break.com in attempt to win their cash prize - as discussed in this article.

Yeah, but break.com is only interested in America's Funniest Home Videos shit. I'd hate to see what he would write after he saw a Retardz or Weaksister video.

Not that I worry about an adverse effect, I'd just hate to have to read another poorly written un-informed rant.

That guy is stupid haha. He only talked about the videos of the stunt going wrong. I know he laughed at them though.

BS, he only mentioned the most popular viral videos on the internet.

I saw a shout-out to that amazing (if not fake) video of that kid laying down while the bus passes over him; the guy in the banana suit setting himself on fire, and others.

Seems to me the author of this "article" hasn't even seen a proper homegrown video. Therefore, he has no idea what he's talking about.

And there's accidental horror caught on tape. In another video, a child hanging dangerously out of a car door is struck in the face by an oncoming car. In this video, as in several others, the most gruesome passage is repeated and played in slow motion.


LOL
That video is so funny

Hey there peoples,
I film stunts and things like mentioned but I would like to point out to the people that think people like us (And you can debate this if you want over at http://www.homegrownforums.com as there are stunt people there who will agree with me on this one) there are indeed many people that try to copy Jackass or think that when they done something it was cool so they will do it themselves, those people make like one shit video that gets them no credit and they just get moaned at for being stupid.
Me and many people at Homegrownforums.com make videos because we find it fun and enjoy editing them, there is more to it than the violence and stuff, we feel strongly that people do not understand the full story of the home grown stunt scene and need to get their facts right before trying to label everyone who does it as "Jackass" folowers or whatever.
I made videos as did many people like me and others from the homegrown stunt scene, before Jackass was around, in fact I started doing stunts and stuff of the like when I was very young and thought it was fun so I got a camera and started to film it as I found that my friends enjoyed watching me do it, I then realised that people already did do this kind of thing (Jackass, CKY etc....) and so I then realised that there was an audience for this kind of thing and continued.
I was not influenced by jackass, some people obviously were and they are idiotic and immature, they should if they want to do that kind of thing, get safety advice and actually invent their own material and be unique and not try to copy jackass or other people as it shows that they just want to be known for copying jackass as they thought it was funny when jackass done it so when they do it it will be the same. Those people I agree should be not allowed to see this kind of material as they are prone to influence.

Another note "children" should definatly not see this kind of material, thats why there are disclaimers on the websites of this type of material that says that children should not enter and that there is material that may offend.

To find out the real truth about the Homegrown Stunt scene, find out from the people themselves at http://www.homegrownforums.com

Thank you and good day.


Fag. lol
anyway yeah, lets hope people come here and find the truth.
I wasn't really thinking that well about what I wrote so if it dont make sense oh well, I directed them to the right place lol.

he left out the fact that the reason the kid was hanging out the door was so that he could knock over the people on bikes.

They said it in the slideshow thing though. On the right in the description, however on all of the discriptions they say, "it appears as though..." or "the child here could have been..." because the reality is that they had no idea the motivation or idea behind any of the videos, it's just speculation, but they're MSNBC, no one watches them anyway. The fact that he categorizes everyone of us into this ambiguous idea that we're all the same with the same motivations and reasoning skills is wild to me. He has no idea of the motivations or reasoning behind anything, he's a simple observer pontificating of the dangers of something he doesn't understand.

I hardly read it but posted this:

Heh, darwin, eh? Seems that you guys have done lots of research about the good ol man. Mainly from the darwin awards site, yeah?

Because you seem to frget that darwin also explains why these kind of inviduals appear in so great numbers. When man was still a hunter and living due natures rules, mankind needed the ones who were first to say "UGAGHAAHA" (If either of you wimps dont come along, I´ll go and kill that evil mammuth by myself then). Those brave ones also breeded more than average, and still breed. Those brave actions, stunts, are admired widely, but only if presented through right media: Hollywood movies, tv shows etc. Only when they mess up, it get these kind of reactions. Specially on message board where you can say anything about anything without knowing anything.

And doing, "homegrown stunts" dont differ from having some other "extreme sport" as hobby. Its done for the same reasons obviusly, from adrenaline rush to feeling of accomplishment.

Feel free point any grammar mistakes or typos as I need to get my english better.(its not my native language).
