Stroud only "survived" because you need more than a week to starve to death. Seriously, he might be tough for roughing it alone, but all he did was complain that he was tired, hungry, and scared of his environment. If he had to be alone for a month, the crew would have found a half-eaten tent inside his corpse.

well,
no, mainly using upper body strength to stay on the bike. He's using his left leg to help turn the bike in by shifting the bike's center of gravity to the left, into the corner. At speed, bikes naturally want to go vertical, so he is shifting his weight to force the bike onto it's side so as to go around the corner as tightly as possible. It just happens that the lean angles are so extreme on those bikes before tire adhesion gives up that the bikes can get pretty close to horizontal. he has plastic pucks on his knees to protect them and give his knees the ability to slide over the pavement.

doing all that while taking the turn at 70mph on a 250 h.p., 320lbs. bike

One broken leg, but it was a compound fracture of the tibia and he raced six weeks later, finishing fourth. He finished third the next race, still limping when off the bike. That's pretty badass.

Stroud and his wife spent their yearlong honeymoon in a remote region. He is a trained survivalist. I'm pretty sure he could go more than a week. Especially if he wasn't filming.

Yes, as compared to Bear Grylls, who is accompanied by an entire camera crew, who is rarely out at a shoot more than 2 or 3 days, who has multiple times had obviously staged discoveries of animal food sources, who is usually only about a half mile into whatever environment he his supposedly surviving in (and has a helicopter with him for the times they actually go deeper into the environment, and who has been caught not actually overnighting in the environment but rather going with his camera crew back to a local lodging.

Truly, Stroud is a big sissy, it's so obvious now why didn't i see it before.

I didn't mention Bear, though. So I'm not sure why you're acting like I did. Anyhow, I don't have any bad-rear end pics to post, so I'm not gonna argue about it anymore.

Behold the official finish line photo of the 1973 Belmont Stakes, in which he set a world record for the mile and a half which still stands. When he won the Kentucky Derby earlier that year, each quarter-mile split was faster than the one before it -- that's right, even at the end of the race he was still accelerating.

This reminds me of a roommate I had one semester in college. He was in his early twenties and really into body building, but he looked like he hadn't even hit puberty yet. He looked like a buff 12-year-old. It was disconcerting.

Simo and Carlos were both snipers, but Carlos' stalks are of legendary status. They were cut from a different cloth. I wouldn't say quantity is the issue, it was how it was carried out.

And FYI, the US sniper with the most confirmed kills in Vietnam wasn't a Marine, he was in the Army: Adelbert Waldron III
