Real or Fake?Real or fake? It looks real to me, but the head says too tricky to pull off and not enough water for the landing. The sound seems too good, but maybe with a directional mic.http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2009/08/05 |

has to be fake.... the pain of "trial & error"working that out would be too much..

While it could be real, it's probably fake. Armstrong did the same thing 7 times between 1999 and 2005 however everyone who has done the super slide into the small pool since then has been juiced so their accomplishments don't count. | ||||

Fake.
Having taken part in it's a knockout, I can say definitively that it would be impossible to stay on that soapy slide all the way to the ramp and also impossible not to pirrhouette all the way down.

Its gotta be fake its the same with all of these virals the camera always pans really far back at the key moments.
Also his mates don't seem as happy as they should be if they'd actually achieved that!! 
Still quite cool though. |

I have met Eddie Waring and Stuart Hall, but not when I was in it's a knockout. In fact - looking back with tighter focus, I haven't a clue if it was the same thing. It was between '85 and '90, there were all the inflatable things, daft suits, bungees and soapy slopes and slides and it was a massive event but there were no cameras that I remember. I was mainly off my tits during this period of my life and so there is also the possibility that It only took place in my head, though I am pretty sure it happened in Delph.

Stuart Hall owned a travel agency facing towards Piccadilly Gardens at the top end of Market Street in Manchester. The name was spelt with the capitals in bright red letters and the rest I think in white. At night guests at the Piccadilly Hotel could look out over the gardens to see a large illumination saying
Stuart Hall International Travel |

LOL, funny man from the days when commentators/journos had to have character and talent rather than tits and the type of unenquiring mind that won't go noseying past the press releases. | ||||

Turns out that it was an ad for Microsoft Germany. Definitely fake.
