Blokes doing pretty things

Over the last few weeks I have seen blokes doing some really pretty things. The deal with blokes doing pretty things is that there has to be at least twice as much danger as there is prettiness so the pretty element is hidden (but I saw it!).

The first was about 30 blokes riding massive waves off the point at South Avoca. The danger was extreme with the powerful waves breaking across the rocks and the blokes surfing incredibly close to them. Once surfing the blokes are just doing pretty things.

The second was a group of guys twirling flaming sticks at Terrigal. It was dangerous but pretty. If you had put ribbons in their hands they could have been at the Summer Games.

The third was after the Top Gear live show with a bloke doing tricks on a motor bike. I shot some video of him which is below. it was pretty. He named some of the moves, they included one called the flamingo and another the can-can.

What other pretty things do blokes do? Is church dangerous? Is church pretty?

We talked about this over lunch after church and added 'drifting' to the list - blokes doing pretty things with cars.

I realized tonight that figure skating is pretty but needs more risk. Maybe a combination of bull fighting and skating is required.
