  • It's one of the heaviest handrail stunts of all time, but getting to hear the eyewitness account from Terry Kennedy makes it that much more incredible.

      Nick Benza it takes such a large amount of energy and a strong mental game to even do one of those attempts. The dude could be lying but I would totally believe somebody trying once and then taking half an hour to recoup.
      Maybe at the beginning once he got psyched he was doing one after the other but probably he needed a breath each time to avoid getting destroyed.
