Interview<br />
A lot of irony, great motivation, nasty accidents. But I enjoy the path<br />
KS_Why do you want to make the buzz with your challenge?<br />
As many things in life, it’s all about marketing, how many<br />
people are out there doing amazing things? Millions! But,<br />
if they don't make the buzz, they won’t inspire anybody, all<br />
that amazing things will be lost in time like tears in the rain<br />
(Blade Runner, hehehe...). If I got the Blind Judge 5 alone in a<br />
remote lagoon, for me it would have been an orgasm anyway,<br />
it’s a personal goal and the first being pleasured is I. But if I<br />
do it alone, I won’t inspire anybody! I don’t want to die alone<br />
in a lagoon! I want to die inspiring people! Hahaha!.<br />
KS_Little Summary about the Evolution of the Challenge?<br />
Episode I: Egypt. July 2015. Lots of Pushups. Just two Blind<br />
Judge 5 attempts. Very difficult, not high enough to rotate,<br />
not fast enough to spin This trip was just an approach to the<br />
trick.<br />
Episode II: Brazil. November 2015.<br />
Lots of Pullups. Several attempts of<br />
Blind Judge 5. Hard work improving<br />
my pop. The trick is closer but I go<br />
too high and hard and I broke my<br />
meniscus. What a bummer!<br />
Episode III: Brazil. August 2016. Lots<br />
of Squats. I recovered from my knee<br />
injury and I got closer to the trick<br />
than ever! I do lots of attempts and<br />
everyone is closer than the last one.<br />
But I broke my femoral biceps in the<br />
same lagoon I broke my meniscus<br />
months ago! I have to stop my attempts.<br />
Currently, I have totally recovered
