I am hooked at TLC of Discovery Channel. TLC stands for The Learning Channel which is originally focused to educational shows but has expanded to travel, food and the extreme. I love their shows about travel and food. Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Cake Boss, Man vs Food, Nigella's Kitchen and the Extreme. Extreme features the extreme on lifestyle, travel and food.
I was watching Extreme: Las Vegas yesterday and they featured the extreme rides in Stratosphere hotel.
One of the rides that they said was the extreme of all the extreme was the Big Shot. Strapped on their seats the ride will shot you up and down to a stomach-wrenching 160-feet ride in the air with a 72kph! Some men are having doubts if they are going to make it good. But, not Lola Ruby. She is one tough 72-year old granny that was rightfully given the name of 'The Big Shot's Big Shot!'. She has been in the record books for blasting off the big shot 8,000 times! Man, some guts! The scariest thing I have ridden was the Space Shuttle and twice of it is already too much for me!
Watch the video at 4:50.
Do you think if Lola Ruby was able to make it, you, too, can make it? As for me, I'd just be glad to take some pictures from the Startosphere platform.
TLC's a great channel. I love photoxplorers too. =)
