Me too haha! I always had odd obsessions and pylons were one of them. I even wanted to be a “Pylon man” when I was little, I would always ask my parents “how tall is that one?”
For some reason, I've always been interested in them. They're quite a regular thing I see, most often, during my work shifts on the railroad, and there's something I can't quite put my finger on but each one of them, with the many different insulator designs make them sort of look like they have their own personalities; similar to that of some of the locomotives I work with as well.
After all these years, I thought I was just the only crazy one with an obsession with staring at pylons (I have called them langoliers since childhood).
No not only one, as a kid i used to love and appreciate Pylons the different types and styles used to fascinate me also so much so i built a model pylon and drew them quite often :)
I have to break cover and confess to loving Pylons, I’ve loved them since I first saw them when I was 3-4, it’s been a private passion though ever since then as genuinely many believe it’s weird and I don’t blame them...
I am a pylon spotter too and love the sight of them. The different types of insulators, cable arrangements, and structures. How can I join the group ? I will post you some New Zealand pylon photo's to add.
In NZ we have the Cook Straight DC cable. Its overhead in Wellington to the Haywards sub station. The insulators are much longer and there are only 2. + and - 500,000 volts. Crazy stuff.
When I was younger I had a phobia called Megaphobia which Is a fear of Pylons and other large objects. Nowadays they fascinate me as awe inspiring metal steel beasts that shouldn’t be there and are almost alien like. Yet there they are silently supplying us with power making the landscape looking even more pretty.
I love the lattice work and geometrically wonder of them. Set against sunsets or sometimes if you look down on them, they look like a gossima spider's Web. I've photographed French cats heads and Japanese red and white pylons. I don't know the types but still love masts and pylons. BTW John Most of them are 50 metres or 165ft tall.
I use to love them as a kid every time i went on a trip i watched everyone of them and i always wondered where the lead to ... Edit : I still love them and i draw them :D
OK I admit to looking at pylons and telecommunications towers with great interest. Even have photos taken abroad, as they are different to UK ones. They also slightly terrify me :-)
I'm trying to find a really weird story about Pylons I either read about on the internet or seen in a documentary. It was something like this guy found an unmarked DVD, or received it anonymously in the post, and when he put it on it was a really spooky montage of pylons with weird music. It was like the weirdest mystery ever but now I can find nothing about it at all. Anyone have any ideas?
Where they are sitting in the field doing the interview I believe the location is dobbs weir. Right next to north londons main supply of electricity. The site of an ex coal fired station that is now a modern closed cycle gas turbine and even more recently added bio reactor next to the site to support it.

I absolutely f**king love electricity pylons! When I was 3 years old my father asked me what I would like for Christmas, and I replied "A pylon."

This comment made me laugh so much

Me too ✋

When i was a child i was so obsessed with pylons that i drew them
It must be a new sporting event since no sports is being played nowadays
No not only one, as a kid i used to love and appreciate Pylons the different types and styles used to fascinate me also so much so i built a model pylon and drew them quite often :)
Me too!!!!
I've always been fascinated by Pylons. I went for a walk near Ipswich today and came near to a load of them.
Lol
My son Ben loves them. He's got a lot of pictures of them and their good!
Thanks
My dad took pictures of me pretending to hold pylons

pylons are everywhere lol, we see them when we drive.
screw the probes get these guys to construct additional pylons
I love this guys voice.
RIP Flash (1975-2020).
Wait what?!
@@squidonyourhead It's true! The champion for pylons is sadly no longer with us.
Ahhh what happened to her?

Florida has three phase grouped wire pylons 3 phase 6 wire pylons
Good song choice! Neon lights by Kraftwerk...
I use to love them as a kid every time i went on a trip i watched everyone of them and i always wondered where the lead to ... Edit : I still love them and i draw them :D
I'm sort of a pylon spotter because I usually go out and take photos of pylons
I used to build them some years ago now but a great job at the time I was known as stepbolt

I love the Pylons with the tesla coils
I'm a big fan of pylons just like Flash. These magnificant structures should be kept, and not torn down...
Some pylons look like lord business from Lego movie when he's really tall
As of 2010 we now have over 350 members... not just the 50 mentioned in the video!
Wow. Magazine ?
There's a really good place at Grendon Lakes in Northamptonshire
Woah...! I'm not alone...!! Fellow pylon lovers...!! :D
Same here, i thought this was just me
You must construct aditional pylons
NEED MOAR PYL0NZ!!!
this dude knows a lot about additional pylons
When it doubt, build Pylons...
12 years ago is it different
I'm absolutely petrified of pylons. I've nearly crashed a number of times over the years due to absolute terror. Any advice flash?
wow i’m scared off them to i thought i was the only one
They should Construct additional Pylons
Flash is so right about the sunset behind pylons
I'm trying to find a really weird story about Pylons I either read about on the internet or seen in a documentary.

Maybe you dreamt it?
@@georgedowns4034 lol I definitely didn't dream this one. Although that'd also be a weird dream!
pylons are cool, i always thought that they could be animated giants lumbering across the landscape after a lighting strike
I was literally just in Braintree just before getting back and finding this video
well done Flash, that was brilliant, could tell you were enjoying yourself!
Not Enough Pylons!
I love your work very nice 👍
Omg pylons!! I love them too XD
They become alive at night......
I enjoy this stuff. I call them high tension power lines though. The UK towers look a little more bizarre then the standard ones in the US.
You should look up "Swanscombe Pylons"- they are over 600 feet tall and look MASSIVE
I'm obsessed with pylons.
So am i
Ye Buddy
was that a fart i heard at 3:55???
Yes
4:59 "And you love g-G-gYlons" XD
listen to this man, for he speaks the truth!
Everyone get playing the song Electricity by OMD its fab just love it , play while we all look at the pylons
Starcraft would probably agree
Loads of people those days are drawn in to conspiracy theories.
Pylons in France a awesome 😍💖😁
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
WE MUUUUUUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PPPPYYYLLLL0000OoooOO0NZZZZZzz
whoa, she can distinguish an L2 from a pair of D60's from 200 paces? now you're thinking with pylons.
The host is saying the word as if he's talking to us gamers :D
Hell with watching them let's go climb them Damn things
You have not enough minerals.
I think this is great!
how... is the top thumbs up comment... made 4 years ago?
Yep, it's very much a private passion... I'll admit I've sent her a couple of pix too. Many thanks for sharing (and hello Flash!)
I love them
You require/must construct more: Minerals, Vepsane Gass, or Pylons
rip flash
I like the 125s the best with there elegant droppers keep it up flash
There’s no such thing as a 125 you spunky damper
@@bradhowarth1405 you need to chill out if you get so angered over a simple, harmless comment. Wtf...
I think the fact they're so big makes ppl h8 then they're so intimadatitng lookin
Yeah. You ever seen one at night up close? Kinda terrifying...
I hate them, can't walk near them. A lot of it comes from those terrifying safety videos we were shown in school.
THIS IS PYLONS!
how can i join?
I love pylons!!!
AwesomeX04 pylons are fantastic!!!
VODKA & BACARDI a reply from a comments 5 years ago wow
Henry266 still love them to this day
@@AwesomeX04ThePro do you STILL love them?
is this timmy webley of tamworth?
Hey you alive ?
You must construct additional pylons
I like French pylons a lot better than English ones
What do you say about 400kv double circuit pylons in Romania?
U clearly have not seen the "Swanscombe Pylons" then...
Not enough pylons
People ride ATVs along the maintenance roads for these things. Probably illegal.
A pylon...........next to a park

What's next communication 5g towers spotting must be a new sporting event now 🤔🤔
Boring like Football
5 star
Each to their own..
you clearly have not seen the Swanscombe Pylons then in Kent...
I like pylons.
@indigo888424 I get that feeling aswell
