1. An african attempts a feat and gets injured in the process,we call him dumb and silly.We bury them in shame and forget about them fast.
A white dude attempts the same,ends up dead and we hear that a champion/daredevil/hero died.
We make a foundation in memory.

2. Whites love carrying cameras everywhere they go,they love memories meaning that a high % of the uploaded video clips comprising of feats are white made.
c'mon you hate yourselves too much..

3. How many black folks have the luxury of attempting such stunts in designated places?
Whites take entertainment/holidays very seriously unlike us who believe that a nyamchom trip down to naivasha with mpango is the ultimate holiday.
The other lot is busy toiling day and night to put bread on the table.Such things don't cross their minds.

4. You have a crazy rollercoster somewhere in vegas and want to tell us that that blacks fear heights?
Hii ni probability.

5. Bring the facilities closer home and make them affordable to wanjiku before you dare.


Now here is the diff.Blacks are curious, so they will attempt out of curiousity.'Inafeel aje','nini itafanyika tukitry' 'inaweza ua'? are the expected questions'
Whites on the other hand like accomplishing stuff,so they will be asking 'how many have done this before' 'will I feature anywhere? I want to break a record etc etc.

We have different drives.Msijihate sana.

I have found myself flying like this in my dreams,it's the most amazing exp ever!
Not scary,worth a try, but such people often belong to some private club where they practice months in advance and that doesn't come cheap.

Now you need to grow around such environments to embrace skiing as a hobby then perfect it over time by doing outrageous stuff.

We are in the sahara.So what do we have?
Lakes-For fishing and not sports
Hills for- Caves/hiding ,Not hiking
We look at nature and think exploit instead of sports/adventure.

We are not sports oriented,we labour.Blame those who colonized us.
There must be a big shift in thinking first before we think about adventure.

Quite true, most people who make these types of utterances usually have inferiority complex issues. All black people are not the same, just like all white people are not the same. This post is assuming that most if not all white people will gleefully get on that rollercoaster, when that is just not the case. A white country boy from Mississippi will most certainly freak out at the sight of that contraption, while an LA kid will be counting the days until summer break so he can go ride one. It has a lot to do with culture and upbringing, Westerners generally shelter their kids from life especially when the kids are young. Its not unusual to find a mother holding a child so the child can ride on a swing or slide. Its ridiculous, all their life these kids live in a bubble that's why they rebel and go searching for adventure. An African child on the other hand is on their own once they hit 2 years and especially if they get younger siblings. Its all context.

Bungee jumping is for wusses… at least compared to the men who live in Vanuatu, a small island nation in the middle of the South Pacific. Here the men take place in a yearly harvest ritual called Land Diving.

Around April or May, villages will build crude wooden towers reaching heights of 100 feet or more. After the tower is completed, a few men will volunteer to scale it. The men then tie a vine first on a platform on the tower and then around their ankles. Summoning all the courage they have, the men dive from the platform headfirst. The divers reach speeds of 45 miles an hour as they plummet to the ground.

The goal of the jump is to land close enough to the ground that the diver’s shoulders touch the ground. Any miscalculation on the length of the vine means either serious injury or death.

Wile E. Cayote must be white

Here is a video that made me ask myself... mwafrika anaweza hii kazi?
