170 Interview A lot of irony, great motivation, nasty accidents. But I enjoy the path KS_Why do you want to make the buzz with your challenge? As many things in life, it’s all about marketing, how many people are out there doing amazing things? Millions! But, if they don't make the buzz, they won’t inspire anybody, all that amazing things will be lost in time like tears in the rain (Blade Runner, hehehe...). If I got the Blind Judge 5 alone in a remote lagoon, for me it would have been an orgasm anyway, it’s a personal goal and the first being pleasured is I. But if I do it alone, I won’t inspire anybody! I don’t want to die alone in a lagoon! I want to die inspiring people! Hahaha!. KS_Little Summary about the Evolution of the Challenge? Episode I: Egypt. July 2015. Lots of Pushups. Just two Blind Judge 5 attempts. Very difficult, not high enough to rotate, not fast enough to spin This trip was just an approach to the trick. Episode II: Brazil. November 2015. Lots of Pullups. Several attempts of Blind Judge 5. Hard work improving my pop. The trick is closer but I go too high and hard and I broke my meniscus. What a bummer! Episode III: Brazil. August 2016. Lots of Squats. I recovered from my knee injury and I got closer to the trick than ever! I do lots of attempts and everyone is closer than the last one. But I broke my femoral biceps in the same lagoon I broke my meniscus months ago! I have to stop my attempts. Currently, I have totally recovered
from the meniscus and the femoral biceps injuries but I still haven’t got the Blind Judge 5. Grrr!. KS_How did you come up with the idea of the pushups in the First Episode? It was because a great friend of mine (Phil Larcher, rider from Liquid Force) and myself were drunk one night, talking about being fit and we made the typical bet let’s see who is more in shape by the 1st of October of this year. So, the bet gave me an excuse to do pushups anywhere and anytime: at a party, at the high school where I work (actually, I’m a computer science teacher) while I teach, waiting for the lift or even in the boarding queue. Everything because I wanted to be stronger than my friend Phil and, at the same time, I didn’t realize I was getting a stronger chest to prevent shoulder injuries (in the end, shoulder is weak for handle passes). During those days, I would get close to somebody and would tell him/her give me a number (he/she didn’t know what was the purpose of the number) and after they told me the number I would do as many pushups as the number they had told me. It was so funny and people always laughed a lot about that stupid thing. I still try to follow that habit which I named Random Pushupping, you do a lot of pushups randomly along the day and sometimes, when you make counts before going to
