HEY!
One of the funnest challenges we tried!!!
Thank you all for spending your time with us!
I appreciate it! 🤘
This was excellent to see! I feel like you and Jon have discovered a future Ninja obstacle!
You should do the scene from breaking bad where Jesse escapes the pit
it was season 5 episode 15 at minute 30
@@termatater007 found it!) thank you!) now we. Need to go to Albuquerque 😅
Can’t find dimensions for the cage🤘🥲
@@AntonFomenko Dont forget to put on the Weird Al Yankovic song when going to Albuquerque ... to be prepared for "eventualities".
"It's an applicable skill". Jon's Saturday nights are clearly far more interesting than mine.
😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing
@@dayna139 didn’t ask
@@Miguel_anitez no one gives a shit if you didn’t ask, the world doesn’t revolve around you.
@@Miguel_anitez what the guy above me said
The moral of the story is that Tom Cruise's captors should have oiled the pole.
BIG FAX.
Yeah, oiling up the pole usually helps.
@@ImaginaryMdA 😏
@@ShovelChef 😏
Step 1: cover the pole in oil
"Less than 1% of the people on earth will ever have to, you know, intentionally use this." - Could you imagine a world where 78 million people are using this? Amazing video. Super fun.
1 human or something like 0.00000000001% is still less than 1% :)
Who knows how strong people might be in the future? This might be what little kids do for fun in the year 3000.
0 is also less than 1%
actually the rest are already doing it unintentionally;)
perhaps they live in mexico city now lol
The pole Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) escapes from is much thinner and smaller in diameter, this may make the challenge easier for you to have completed, it also appears at least about a foot shorter, but you guys are gods.
agree. and the red playground pole that was used seems more similar in diameter to the movie pole. i think the smaller diameter helps because you can get your shoulder (bone?) to help cup around and give you more pressure/leverage against the pole. the wider pole flattens you out more and makes it more difficult to "grab/grasp" the pole. but great job guys
A decade of gymnastics, American football, always being fit, having the best trainers, stunt people and being one of the hardest worker of his generation, might have gave old’ mate Tom cruise an edge on You.
@@ddtalks2821 yeah from my limited experience with chin ups, pull-ups and dragonflag holds, usually the thinner the bar, the easier it is to complete the motion. I think like you said, it's related to your grip strength and the amount of pole you can grasp or wrap around allows a more efficient conversion of energy transfer into the movement.
It was hollow though, so the lip at the top would hurt to lay on, so what they did in the video to get out at the end may not be the best method
@@DoubleDOwnage you need a front lever and one arm pull up and it will make easier
My shoulder is still raw lol. Great challenge, great video, and all around good fun. I’m still scouting a worthy metal pole to do it again! Love you brother
Thank you for all support and patience! Love you brother 🤘🔥
Next time try tacky. Strongmen use tacky for lifting atlas stones.
Very impressive both of you. Another item that works really well for grip is Tincture of Benzoin (AKA Friar's Balsam). It's a tree resin (sap) emulsified in alcohol, so sweat tends to make it more sticky. It's often used to make bandages last longer as it improves their adhesion, but as a note it's a great anti-septic; so it burns like crazy on any open cuts.
@@AntonFomenko
Pin this...
Next time perhaps use some tape that has some abrasiveness to it (grip tape) rather than a duct tape. It would more naturally reflect the texture of the wood while still providing safety from splinters. It would assist with avoiding the slipperiness of the duct tape.
NINJA MYTHBUSTERS you should make this into a mini series ,take suggestions maybe
Thats a seriously good TV show idea
Hell yea! I think this would be a hit.
I support this idea. 💪💯
No cap, i would watch every series of it
Yes!!! I am *here* for that!
"I did it yesterday on a pole the same size and material of the one in the actual movie, here's a clip of me doing it perfectly. Ok let's get back to whatever the fuck this is with the duct tape."
My thoughts exactly
It was actually smaller the one the video is centered around and they wanted a bigger pole
Yeah, an actual test would use the same material and size. This is just a weird sideways way of testing something similar...
*not a direct quote
Exactly why it got a thumbs down and now I'm done watching less than 30 seconds in...
Imagine beeing stopped by the police and they find a bag full of ropes, cuffs and duct tape
and construction foam
And Cameras
And 2 shirtless sweaty muscular men
Officer i can explain
@@jones6613 😂
I think what you guys did here was actually harder because of the thicker pole. Not to mention the duct tape is definitely more slippery than a metal pole. Tom also had good air conditioning!
Tom also had editing, he had the benefit of video cuts so didn't have to do the whole climb continously
Yeah at the very least it's 2 cuts, one where he started from the bottom to 80% and then the rest , 20 in 2 shrugs
Don’t forget about the paddung im sure was beneath Tom the entire time. These guys fall they get to eat dirt; Tom falls he falls on a cushion like cloud.
Would have been much easier with thin pole like the one in the park
exactly this. if you watch the scene carefully, Tom is pushing the pole into his shoulder and almost tucking it besides his neck on one side. That's bound to be a lot easier!! not to mention the duct tape being slippery.
"its a useable skill"
yeee, i get chained to poles all day long
if you get chained to poles all day i think you should all the police or hire bodyguards
tied to poles all day huh 😈😈😈😈
freaky are we?
@@hahaha-zh1vv More like kinky.
my Wife: "what are you watching"
Me: "two grown men taking their shirts off and tying each other up....."
I'm also having a hard time explaining this to my dad, lol
”Are they fucking?!"
"No, but I like what you thinking"
On a pole. You forgot the pole. 😂
...One man stating that he has tried "naked wood" 😂
Imagine this is how Tom done the pole in the movie, all the bad guys standing there looking 🤔 and you can hear Tom saying " all.......most..........there" 🤣🤣🤭
lmao 🤣
Does Jon just have everything in that bag? The man comes prepared.
Right?
My mother always said that you should sand down wooden poles before you try to emulate Tom Cruise. I never knew what she meant until today.
Ahah!🤘 she is wise!
Always suspected Toms pole was smooth..some say it's why he can't keep a girl
Anyone who has gotten poly foam on their hands doing construction knows this dude is SERIOUS about making it up this pole
What does poly foam feel like?
@@lynneji2158 At first? Really super sticky thick glue. But once it reacts to the moisture in the air / you sweat? Congrats, you now have an exoskeleton.
Indeed, it's a real bitch to get off. I had to soak my hands in water for a while and then shave it off with a stone, one time. Was weirdly satisfying though!
борода Would acetone break it down?
@@adamwickes6189 Yeah probably! My uncle also said to try using Vodka lol.
This was IMO one of the most fascinating stunts from the movie. I can't believe they never really talk about it. Thanks so much for putting in the work.
That looked dangerous as hell, respect
So apparently Tom actually did this stunt for reals... so under better circumstances I imagine you guys could too. Smaller pole, metal, and inside without moisture.
Jon did it basically like that :D
Yeah, they really were doing it on hard mode.
@Designer how do you know that he did for real ? His fans claim it. But what do you expect from buffoons who worship actors and in this case belittle the actual skilled stuntmen-actors like Jackie Chan. Have you thought that if he really did that, there would be a behind the scenes footage of that. Because this thing is so hard.
@@SeldomPooper I mean, Tom Cruise is pretty well known for doing many of his own stunts. Pretty rare a stuntman steps in for him.
@@SeldomPooper Oh I watched a making of/behind the scenes of the film and they went through all the bits that he did himself. :) This was one of them. It's been a while since I watched it so I'd have to dig to find it, but lemme have a look. :D
The American chap literally shows himself doing it on the same type of pole as in the film then they choose a much thicker, rougher pole to use for the experiment. Ok.
Does that make it harder or easier?
@@lynneji2158 well, judging by the video...harder
"I just naturally sweat a lot".
Oh man, I feel ya.
The sadness I felt when I found out that loosing weight and becoming fit didn't change anything was infinite.
Strangely enough, though, sweaty fat and sweaty muscles generates totally different reactions in people. Lol
oh shit, i’m currently losing weight so that i don’t sweat like a fucking fish every time I move. You’re telling me that won’t work?
@@fredhasopinions sadly no. Or, at least, not in the magnitude I wanted.
@@DonyBit I respectfully disagree. When I was overweight i'd sweat buckets while walking at a decent pace but after I lost weight (around 42 pounds) I could run for an extended period without sweating and when I did sweat my body would cool down a lot faster and stop sweating. A lot of it has to do with genetics obviously, but how something works for you doesn't necessarily mean it works the same for others.
@@AddictedGamerFIFA Well, you could say, in my case, that the entire problem has to do with genetic. Obviously overweight cause extra sweat. You keep much more heat inside and for much longer. I think it's no news so I assumed it would have been taken for granted, without further specification, that I was talking just for my case.
In fact, after loosing 35kg (yeah, I'm Italian so here it is, beloved metric system), obviously I sweat less and I cool down much quicker, but still, after a few steps or if I'm in a slightly warmer environment than I'm used to, my forehead starts to sweat.
Just there.
Clearly it isn't sweat caused by physical effort, and when it is, it's still above average.
I mean, that's what "sweaty guy" mean, right?
Anyway, it could be that I wasn't clear enough, but I hope explained myself better this time and thank you for being so polite :)
Have a good day
Edit: I just read the answer from the first guy and yeah, you're right.
I just totally misunderstood the question, in fact in the answer to him I was still talking about myself. Im dumb, mea culpa.
What actually helps is cardio.
Scientifically proven. Basically humans have 2 and a half kinds of sweat, you have hormonal sweat which is the smelly armpit, crotch and feet sweat, and cooling sweat which is the watery salty sweat like a pig kind. (Which… pigs don’t actually sweat, that’s why they wallow to keep cool.) Apocrine is the hormonal and oily kind, and if it smells bad, that’s because of bacteria… not you. It shouldn’t really smell like much of anything. Eccrine sweat is the cooling kind and is odorless, again it only smells if bacteria is involved. (The half I mentioned is stress sweating which is usually a blend of both but releases much more water with no salts and has oils from Apocrine sweat and beads up and looks like that stressful sickly sweat.)
Okay, so essentially Eccrine sweat is meant to cool your body down through evaporation, it works by having your body send all of the hot blood to the skin surface, hence why you feel flushed and kinda miserable, and then creates sweat to evaporate the heat away. This is a healthy normal form of sweating. But for overweight or out of shape people, having high blood pressure causes the skin to flush and triggers the sweat response, this can also be triggered by eating hard to digest foods because it takes water and warm blood to digest food which raises the blood pressure a bit, hence meat sweats.
So basically, you can now reverse engineer this… if blood pressure and certain neurological systems cause sweating, then you can reduce excessive sweating by building some cardio, cutting back on coffee and alcohol and especially cigarettes and focus on easier to digest foods.
But, excessive sweating can also be signs of underlying conditions like heart problems or diabetes, so if you sweat excessively to an extreme, you might want to see a doctor.
Otherwise… you might just run hot because of poor health and cardio. For instance, at a normal resting body temperature, if you touch something room temp like a window, does it immediately cause a steamy hand print? Does normal activity make your face and chest look red and flushed? If so, you definitely need more cardio and better diet.
My roommate had this issue where he was always just burning hot, dripping sweat everywhere… it was nasty. When he quit smoking and started jogging it improved massively.
Good luck, and just remember that sweating is normal and healthy and not to get self conscious about it, but if it seems genuinely abnormal just talk to a doctor about it.
Stay healthy, be good peoples, and always strive to be better than yesterday!
The top part is sketchy af. Imagine falling while you're still tied to the other side, bye bye shoulders 😣
more like byebye head
Bye bye entire upper body
bye bye life
Bye bye reality
The undertakers signature move the ‘tombstone’ comes to mind
You should suggest Jon to use tacky! It's a sort of pine resin that strongmen use in various feats of strenght like lifting the atlas stones and stuff, I think the result should be similar to the locktite foam but also way more natural :)
Or maybe strongmen should be using Loctite...! I've heard some strongmen complain that tacky still doesn't work great if you're really sweaty.
Yeah Loctite creates a plasticy layer to stop the sweating though. But tacky could be useful, there's many kinds some more sticky than others.
Anton's reverse worm technique was dope.
The duct tape was the whole problem. You solved the splinter issue but created a much bigger problem. Climbing a slippery pole is challenging, maybe impossible if too slippery. AND you're doing this upside down!
Yeah i thought hockey tape but you'd have no skin left by the end haha
I think the bare wood would have been even worse than the duck tape--still slippery, but with splinters and nails to boot. Perhaps wrapping the pole with grip foam would have been a better option.
Gaffers tape
This is by far the most epic challenge I ever seen. Hats off you guys are amazing. Also I want Ethan Hunt aka Tom cruise to react to this.
Me too!!!😂
I genuinely thought the locktite was a joke... Props to Jon's... creativity? lmao
This was a great video. It also points out something I noticed in the movie. Its only possible if your captures are nice enough to place your hands over your head for you instead of below near your waist the way it is usually done.
I think hands up have some benefits:
1. It’s easier to give body punches
2. After some time hands are getting numb. You don’t feel them and becoming hopeless.
^ Anton scares me sometimes 👀
If you had Magnus there, he'd have told you you need chalk!
Why doesn't Jon get one stunt job offer after another? Using locktite foam shows some serious determination! And yes, it's a very applicable skill 😎.
In the movie, the pole is much thinner and metallic with better grip and it's shorter. And I think you guys can easily do this if the conditions were the same...
Beautiful videos. I'd love to see more...
construction foam? No wonder hes built like a house😂👌
Jonathan is a beast!)
Yep!)
@@AntonFomenko haha!)
Thx for the compliment. I'm Jonathan.
That last go was impressive. I mean the whole thing was like watching two superheros train. I can barely do a pull up. Keep it up. Gonna attempt a pull up now, this has inspired me to try to dk 3%of what these guys did. Deffneintly got yourself a need subscriber:).
I watched the part which Tom Cruise did in slow motion just to compare and analyze. I found that with the smaller pole:
1. he was able to pull his elbows closer to his hip, shoulders aligned closer with his hands. This gives him more stability, he was able to rest his right shoulder on the pole, which in turn allows him to bend his knees in further before shooting his legs up to get that momentum needed to go up. While you guys didn't have enough room to create that same momentum.
2. he didn't have to bend his head sideways like you guys did. Look at 9:24, you'll notice Jonathan had to bend his head to the left, and his hip is falling to the right. This of course makes it much harder. That's why as he goes up, he was also forced to move sideways.
3. also the pole Tom Cruise used was shorter
Great job with the video.
Its of course important to keep in mind that Tom C has unlocked the hidden potential of his alien entity/thingywabob through years of being treated like a god by his fellow scientologist. Cant expect to be as fantastic as the posterboy of a fair dinkum religion unless you donate all your money and secrets to them :P
Love the channel and content, despise Tom C and scientology.
I know the movie isn't realistic, but I have to imagine this task becomes a good amount easier to accomplish when your life LITERALLY depends on you doing this like it does in the movie.
@Matrick true lol
these collabs are just absolute gold anton/jon.
This is one of these random skills I'd expect someone like Pete Whitaker to randomly be completely amazing at :D
hell yeah you know Pete is smashing this one
Jon really is an outstanding human being. He seems like a brilliant friend, too. Love seeing him in your videos
Looks incredible dangerous when he’s on top of the pole
I was thinking that same
Amazing strength! We do this in pole sport too! but on a much smaller pole so you can actually use your cup grip. And there’s a flip from a shoulder mount that’s pretty wicked, it’s called fonji!
Also tip for grip: football gloves have silicone interiors and they give you grip like superglue
5:10 Die Hard is pretty much the only major action movie where the main character loses his shoes, I'm wondering if it actually happens rather often in extreme situations. You guys are amazing!
One thing I just noticed is the pole in the movie actually looks very similar to the one he tried the day before. So you guys actually did a much harder version of the same thing.
Я тогда в кинотеатре офигел с этого момента. Не то чтобы это выглядело нереально для меня, но зная о тяге Круза к самостоятельному выполнению трюков и отдавая отчёт его возрасту в моей голове его рейтинг крутости прибавил ещё пару пунктов, а он и так был немал.
Моя личная попытка повторить подобное уткнулась в пару рывков, боль в трапеции и в самосохранительный танунафиг)) что докинуло ещё пунктик в копилку Тома)
Wonder what Tom would say? Great to watch, you made most of it look easy. It’s hard and dangerous, but you looked after each other. Closest I’ve ever come to anything like this was when I was training (I was the only female on the course) to become an arboriculturist. One of my most scariest moments was when had to climb a pine tree with a strap, and spikes/spurs on our boots. I was told if you fell, you could take the skin off your face (it had happened to another student a few years previous 😮), hence I hovered around until the guys had been first 😅. Once I’d finished (face still intact) I felt like like I was on cloud 9, I would imagine you guys feel the same during your endurances. 🎉
Glad to hear you keep your face 💪😅
absolutely f*ing incredible gentlemen. Outstanding.
Thank You 🤘😊
Very cool shirt Anton!
And amazing video, so cool to see you guys trying these movie stunts!
Anton, is so unfairy you having only 88.7k subs, your content is so goddamn good
Thank you sir!!
First time watching your channel. I'm pretty impressed by this. Good job guys. Stoked to see what it next. *Subscribed*
Great video! Would love to see you try more stunts from the Mission Impossible films
Love the Rungne shirt! Great video.
Your pole is much bigger than Toms 🤔🙄😳😁
😂😂😂
I see what you did there and you're probably right.
I hated working with expanding foam. Even one little drop is a PITA to get rid of. lol. Respect to him for having the patience to peel that crap off.
I would use gaffer's tape on top of the duct tape, as gaffer's has more of a cloth-type surface. Then, as I attempt to go up backwards, the way you two did, I would have a heart attack, as I'm 60 and stopped doing these kinds of shenanigans decades ago!
Sincerely impressed. Well done, boys!
Я сначала подумал, что акцент мне причудился, а потом посмотрел на название канала
"You won, you have blood." 😂 Just Anton things
This was awesome to see. Never doubt Anton and Jon.
This is dangerous af, one small mistake at the top and you both your shoulder are gone...
Hats off to these mad lads for doing this successfully.
"Less than 1% of people on earth will ever have to potentially use it" Take out the % from that statement, and you're just about on the money.
I think its more than 1 lol- but a hell of a lot less than 1% yeah! Maybe 1 in 50 million would ever have a chance to use that skill in their life if they had it.
Can you guys recreate the scene in cliffhanger when Stallone failed to pull his friends wife up the cable line. I've always felt with the right technique he could have. Swinging his legs up and grabbing her with both hands instead of one.
Happy this video finally happened. Glad i recommended it to you.
Standing applause. well done!
Very cool video! The escape that I can think of would be feet tied to a rope while you are upside down and you have to either untie your feet or where the rope is attached to at the top.
4:47 unintentional comedy is the best comedy 🤣
You two guys are incredible humans.
Incredible work guys , Great video 👍🏻💯
You legit just needed a better pole - one without plastic/tape.
Mab I'm so worried, try to put some cushion foam man, that gives me goosebumps
First time I’ve ever see your guys video, totally badass. Keep it up
great video Anton and well done!
Today I learned that there will be 1/100 men who will be in this position at some point. I'm gonna quote you guys on that.
thank you, I'm just finding how to escape the Pole Trap
😉
Dude climbed upside-down on that pole like a pro. Sick
I love these videos. Keep em coming!
Locktite? :') Why not just use strongman tacky? At least that comes off with babyoil.
Love that you're repping the Rúngne shirt. I found you through Magnus Meatball and can't wait til you can collab again.
That auto correct on Magnus' last name is amazing :)
@@fredrikhult2950 lol, it wasn't autocorrrect. Meatball is how Anton says it.
@@jpotter14 oh I didn't know. That's funny :)
Awesome to see you guys try this one! Tom Cruise definitely made it look easier than it actually is, but the pole your using is also 2 the height and diameter of the one from the movie!
@2:13 I got Kip vibes from Napoleon dynamite lol, when they had the slap fight and kip started whining lol 😂
This guy: my shoulder, damn
I used this yesterday when I was captured.
good thing I watched this video the day before.
Respect guys! Mad skills! I think it was even harder with that wooden poll: it's much wider and taller than Tom's
Incredible as always Anton🤙🤙🤙
In handball we use a kind of glue which is also extremly sticky, maybe try that instead of construction foam as it is not harmful to the body in any way and easy to get off
8:04 very sus moment. He knows he sweats a lot and said don’t ask how he knows.
I was curious the entire time how you would manage the top part. And I know that expanding foam is crazy sticky, I never would have imagined using it for anything of this sort
So sick, can't believe you attempted it let alone nailed it! Be careful man.
Jon did it in a very clean way. Kudos buddy.
"This is harder than it looks."
My friend it looked very difficult.
OMG doing this on a wooden pole was such a bad idea, even with the duct tape. OW! There's a reason they used a metal pole in the film. Also, your pole is almost twice the diameter and taller. Well done though guys!
love the videos, love u rocking that Rungne
Great video guys!!
How unbelievably comically entertaining would it have been had they used exactly what’s required for Tom Cruise to have gotten out like this in the film🤣
That top part terrified me, if you slipped and fell you could have easily broken both shoulders
You two are freaking strong! Amazing 🎉
I like the effort you put into your videos it makes them unique and genuine
on an unrelated note tho Ethan's pole was sturdier metal and smaller in diameter just saying
In the movie, Tom Cruise also squeals “Help me, help!” And his captors rush to the rescue.
Haha just kidding, great work gentlemen. This was epic to watch.
Thank you🤘😅
To be fair, Tom's pole wasn't nearly as tall as this one...
this was fun to watch, thanks!
Great vid guys, so impressive 👍😁
