How I became a Dare Devil (Patreon Series)
Episode 2 of my videos that I made but aren't uploaded to YouTube. In this video I made 6 years ago, I wanted to explain how I became a daredevil, because I used to just be a boring person that was afraid of everything.

OMG!!! I was just thinking about how I remember a slack liner who occasionally would do it at UC while I was there… I’ve been watching your content for over a year and I’m just realizing… IT HAD TO BE YOU!! WHAT!! I would’ve only been a few years older so it completely lines up! I’m so hyped 😂 I know for a fact now that I saw you at that time and had know idea who you were… and whenever I think of slack lining, I always think back to that time!
Is it reckless or wreckless?
It's so cool to see the origin story! But I totally don't believe that you were ever "boring." Outside of the stunts and the reckless endeavors, your character is something special: the genius scheming, your sense of humor, your immense creativity, and your kind heart. Don't get me wrong, your crazy life definitely makes you one of the most interesting people in the world! But in my opinion, your intellect and the weird ways your brain works makes you fascinating in a way that I can't imagine was ever boring!
My partner is a climbing and slacklining enthusiast, and follows a lot of those channels, so it's cool to see you do things like this too! The things is, my partner and people they follow (like HowNot2) REALLY emphasize the importance of protective gear- wearing a helmet where debris might fall, wearing a harness attached to the highline, etc. You're not just risking a quick "oops" death, there are messed up gore images out there of what can happen after stunts like this (not always lethal). I'm glad you've found hobbies that fulfill you, and more power to you if you accept the risk. But I'm seriously concerned one of your viewers might imitate you, not understanding this isn't normal for the sport, but literal daredevil stunts, and not knowing what horrific injuries they're risking. I love this channel (definitely keep doing you) but for that same reason I'd hate to ever see it become another channel destroyed by scandal or tragedy. I know I must sound lame but a "don't try this at home without safety equipment unless you're willing to risk serious harm or death" could prevent someone from getting hurt. Hopefully I'm wrong and just being a paranoid annoying Internet Mom but I think I'd feel weird if I didn't say something
Ben's video are a way for people like me to live a fullfilling youth vicariously. Not even kidding.
Most impressive video ive ever seen man, your a legend ben ❤️❤️❤️
This is impressive. You are a talented person.
Your awesome man!
Not reckless ben ('cause you're a pro). Damn impressive kid!
I LOVE PARKOUR !!
INSANE!!!!!!! LOVE HEARING UR STORRY U INSPIRE ME
This is amazing, it definitely deserves a YouTube upload. After watching all that insanely dangerous early footage I think a yellow deli death-squad should be the least of your worries as far as your physical health is concerned.
I couldn't watch.... Made me queasy.
Great to see how you evolved from doing stuff that every other daredevil does to busting cults.
This is great, have you ever tried the electric unicycles? I slack lined throughout collage and it uses all the same muscles. It's the most "free" and natural feeling pev, you just kinda lean and think about where you want to go and you go that way. I think you would love them.
Ben…I love this! I think your YouTube audience would love to know how you got your start too. You could post it and say your Patreon audience insisted you share it. Also, I love what you are doing with Patreon, thank you!
You missed the point. I was saying that he should’ve posted it when he made the video because his YouTube audience back then, which included me back then, would’ve loved it!
Yessir, looking forward to see your process and progress! Thanks for sharing and opening up to us
