I love Mixed Martial Arts and this is beyond stupid. But only slighty stupider than alpine skiing and shooting which is known as the biathalon in the Olympics.

Alex Roy has been training to cross the country in less than 32 hours.  He made it.  Whoopee.  I write about people doing dumb stuff and crashing.  In this case there is no crashing but the possibility is still very likely. He admits that he is driving through typical areas weaving in and out of traffic.

What could go wrong? A blown tire perhaps?  If he has to average over 90 mph to get make it, he needs to be at speeds in excess of 130 mph to make up for gas stops. 

It sounds fun and romantic in a movie way.  But it is stupid.  At least when someone tries to climb Everest, “because it is there”, typically they are only endangering themselves.  I only came to know of Alex Roy because Tim Ferriss mentioned him on Twitter.  I admire Tim which is why I follow him on Twitter but I am surprised that he would go on a trip like this.  

I wonder if he is actually doing it because of the possible repercussions if something goes horribly wrong. Which it could and most likely will no matter how good the car handles.  Jackass the TV show was funny because they did the stupidest things that I would never do to myself.  Johnny Knoxville shot himself in the chest while wearing a bullet-proof vest.  Stupid, but only he had to pay any consequences.

I think highly of you Tim.  I know you experiment with different ideas and tech to see what the human body and brain can do.  It sounds like fun to me too, but if something goes wrong all you can say is, “I’m sorry”, and that most likely won’t be enough.

The mother wants to bring this public so that areas will be made safer, or kid friendly. There is a fence there! She says that she won’t sue. Really? Well if you are lucky maybe Family Services won’t visit your house. Dumbelievable!
