Description of story

Just wanted to submit something fun & different over the weekend than the usual stuff. Video of some fun going up against a professional arm wrestler after I was done shooting a video feature about The Hit Squad, a group of 11 pro arm wrestlers from Detroit who train & compete nationally.

Feedback requested

Do you get the feeling from the video that I was holding back as to not make a professional arm wrestler look bad? :-)

Gear used in production

GoPro HD
Muscle, lots of it!

Would have been more fun if it went somewhere. I really didn't need to know that the average person isn't as strong as the pro athlete. A funny finish might have been worth the watch, but I was left feeling, like, why do I care?

Ummmm Michael.....I'm gonna quote Bill Murray in one of the best movies ever Stripes "Lighten up Francis!" 


I guess your sense of humor isn't like mine or you just don't understand mine at all.  Read my description of the story please...I just threw it up here just for fun man.  

When I'm shooting besides working hard and pushing myself, I love having fun that's all man.  

My wife and kids thought it was funny!   ;-)

That's hysterical!  People love this stuff. I would have attached to the end of the video that posted to freep. Nice work (whimp:) (Just kidding - I'm short and week. You could totally take me).
