Happy Monday, Stora Army.
Today's mission, wall run from there to the top.
Never been done.
Let's make it happen.
Come on!
Oh!
He's big, but like, definitely on.
The amount of cleaning that we're gonna need to do.
Yeah.
This work is honestly going to such good use.
It's gonna do so much.
Stora Army, it's time.
The wall run, arm jump challenge is about to take place.
We have been waiting for this.
Sash, what are you saying?
Getting the jitters.
I'm obviously not feeling too confident,
but just fucking run full power and it'll be okay.
What the hell?
It looks so big, man.
You're going to the top, brother.
Go on now, go on, go on.
Rip on the wall, though.
Oh my goodness.
He's a fucking legend.
You can tell when it's cold.
Sash doesn't have to speak and you can tell it's cold.
It's going nice and quick, you know.
It looks so good.
I think you guys have got it, though.
Hero Sash going first.
Data, receive.
Benji's up.
He's got a really good chance of making it,
but there's a big question mark
as to whether he can hold on.
What with his hand being not in the best position
for this challenge.
I can't arm jump yet, but I'm going to try it.
And I'm going to just try and grind to the end
and stay full contact.
And if worst case, I can go on a Yamakaze.
I'm just going to go scuttle, scuttle.
Yeah.
He broke his fourth metacarpal a few weeks back.
So to be going for this, make up your own mind, I guess.
It is definitely big, Ben.
How cold?
Oh, it's freezing.
Oh, I'm going to run back round.
And running back to the start line
to get dry and try again.
No doubt.
Did really well, actually.
Impressed on the first.
First guy's always so hard.
He just had a really heavy slip
almost below the light patch that we cleaned.
His run-up looked really good, though.
I'm just trying to debate in my head
whether to take off right or left on the ground.
I'm dominant left,
but I think I actually prefer right here.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
See, I'm frustrated.
It's cold, Ben.
Yeah, it's cold.
One of us has got to get this, for sure.
Maybe Benj knows exactly what he needs to change
and is confident that he can execute it next time.
But like, I thought Max and Benj
would be the most likely to get this.
And maybe they still will.
On his first two steps,
he was like touching it with both hands,
which probably means the feet slipped out
and then the feet just weren't underneath him.
Yeah.
I reckon run it, like, up and then try and go in.
I was planning to take off my right foot on the ground
and I took off my left.
From the start, I was like,
oh, shit, I messed it up.
Yeah.
Threw you off.
Downhill from there.
Yeah, literally.
What happened to your face, Swag?
Join us for now.
Click join.
First time I've face-planted like that,
I reckon since I was like,
maybe three years old learning to walk.
I knew it would look like this today.
It's a bit scabbed up, innit?
Yeah.
You look a hard nut.
Yeah.
Hello, joiners.
Joiners, we're back.
Joiners get the OG content.
The stuff you all want to see.
The stuff that we want to do,
but YouTube's not letting us.
Oh.
Only support and love for these rooftop missions.
A little sneaky club for the best rooftop content.
We saved it for you, lovely joiners.
Only joiners get to see these things.
Only joiners.
You can relax.
It is a bit of an urban playground out here.
Be lovely, joiners.
What the hell, lads?
Big up the joiners.
OK, so the water's just come underneath
and literally what was stagnant water before
has now turned into a gushing tide,
freezing cold, taking us down the river.
A little bit concerning.
That's not good.
That changes a lot for me, to be fair.
Not a fan of moving water.
Fucking get it.
Worst case scenario is fine.
Yeah, right.
Be comfortable with worst case scenario.
You disagreed with me in your eyes, but I'm really not.
No, I didn't.
It's the viewers.
There you are.
Connection, great connection.
I think it's possible, yeah.
Oh, OK.
That was good.
Yes.
I think it's possible.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Holy moly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Two, three, four.
He could have get going, though.
Yeah, he really could have.
He is going down, though, still.
Well played, Bob.
Yeah, it is.
That's the best one so far.
That's what we needed.
That was the attempt we needed.
The only thing about that is like your next step
would have been a downward step unless you
put more confidence in.
It was my right foot.
That's the only annoying thing.
I wish that was my left foot that I pushed off.
But the big step, you can see like the big step,
I think I decide before that step, you know, I'm coming off.
It's like this is my last chance to hit water.
Otherwise, I'm hitting water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really fucking good.
Look how big that is.
Imagine that was smaller.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it goes.
Yeah.
That's cool.
That's amazing.
Yee-haw.
Right.
That is exactly what commitment looks like.
That is a man who's confident that he's making it.
Whoa, I landed scary close to the death corner.
I think he's saying something about being cold, maybe.
I'm not sure.
Just a little bit too lent out.
But it's nice.
Yeah.
I would like to try again.
Let's see.
Ah.
Yeah, I missed one.
Good effort, though, man.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, that's a good angle in.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go, man.
That's nice, Cal.
So clean on the wall.
You'll be able to stand up soon.
Keep it breathing.
You can stand up now.
That's really, really fucking cold.
I just fully took my breath away.
Yeah, I saw.
I could not breathe.
Really clean attempt, though.
I kind of, after your first three,
you were kind of like, you kind of dipped down
and started looking for the water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, fair enough for the first one,
because you're not realistically going
to send the whole way in your first go.
No, I knew I wasn't going to do that.
But like, yeah, that's funny.
You see, like, me already looking at the water, like.
Yeah, you're going to try again?
Not today.
Not today?
No, you think about it.
We changed our plans, and I think
we're going to come back tomorrow,
because I want to try again.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I think it's normal.
Sick.
One attempt each.
We're going to get sleep progression,
and then we'll see if this gets done.
But good first attempt.
Toby's one, being in particular.
Day two, we're back.
We found a little prep.
Arguably, we should have come here yesterday
before the sesh, and had a little hacky sack as well.
But we had a big cleaning project on our hands.
We spent like two, three hours yesterday cleaning the wall.
So today, we just got wall runs left.
Yeah, this is a perfect prep.
Maybe the wall's grippier, but.
Yeah, I want to send a few.
Yeah.
Casual.
Yesterday was like attempt number one over the water.
Tuned in, had a hacky sack, a bit of practice.
Quick five-minute drive, and then give some a go.
I think that's going to do bits.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Day two, let's get it.
OK, day two, we're back.
Did a little top-up clean.
I think since we took that big thick layer of moss off
yesterday, the texture, it's had a little bit more time to dry.
Feels good.
Oh, this is techy as well.
Check this out.
OK, maybe not.
Broken rib.
Today, we'll see better attempts than all of us, I reckon.
Just to get a wall run on your first attempt is so hard.
Look at the distance you've got to travel.
Look how small they are.
There's a good chance we grab hold of that ledge today.
And if we do get there, can't take any chances.
The kneesium is out.
OK, let's go.
All right, Ben just coming in.
Good effort.
Mate, you slammed the brakes on.
Fucking scary to commit, isn't it?
That was a really good attempt from him.
So much better than yesterday's attempt.
He said he put the brakes on a little bit,
but it's so hard to commit to that.
And he's got a broken hand as well, so it's mental, yeah.
He could have bounced that, like the face of it,
maybe not grab the top.
Got the run up pretty good yesterday.
And I think if I'd motored through the last few steps
and hadn't backed out, it could have been on for the arm jump.
But I kind of knew subconsciously
I was going to back out.
It's just really scary to commit to hitting
that face at the end.
Left here, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
If it feels the same as yesterday,
I do believe you have it.
Yeah, same.
It's just scary.
You have to decide here if you're going to go for it.
You can run as hard as you can, get it all dead perfect.
You might still just back out.
Yeah.
This is it, bro.
Unlucky.
You okay?
Yeah, it's like you put like more emphasis on it
and somehow made it work.
Benji's first one yesterday wasn't as good.
Today was really good.
Tobi's one, first one yesterday was really good.
Today wasn't as good.
Let's hit and miss with this.
Pew!
Whoa, why is it sucking me down here?
Oh dear.
This is a bit cramped down here.
That goes on for a long time.
I'm not sure about that.
The sheriff is in town and he's here
and he's about to go down.
Vamos España.
Interesting attire choice, but he looks powerful at least.
You good?
You all right?
Literally everyone was saying
that's like the danger of committing
if you commit too early,
you're ending up down the bottom of the face
near the death corner.
Look at his leg, man.
Look at his ankle.
You see that?
Yeah.
Is that his shoe?
Look, his shoe hasn't come off.
He's icing off his ankle in the water.
Didn't look good.
The replay looked really harsh in the ankle.
Oh, the water's flowing out again now.
So it looks like Shifa might be going to hospital.
That is, that's gutting.
That is really gutting.
Look at this shit.
Now it's not painful, but it will start to...
Yeah, when it gets warm again.
It wasn't so painful.
I just knew it.
But I didn't hear a clack or something.
Watch out with this.
He's joking me.
You've got to cross that.
This is what he's got to cross.
He's delaying crossing the bridge
because he wants to film it for his video.
I would do the same.
Easy for this man.
Okay.
What's next then?
I think it's easy now.
He's moving it so much.
It's crazy.
I can't keep up.
And he's got a broken arm, broken leg, broken ankle.
Sorry.
Maybe not.
Say if you need help, you'll be good, man.
Yes.
Not tomorrow.
Not today.
Two weeks, maybe two months, but I'll be okay.
Yeah.
You'll be okay.
The only part I don't like is going to the hospital.
Yeah.
It sucks, man.
The rest, I don't care.
At least I touched the wall.
That's what you wanted.
That's why I went for it.
I said, I have to touch the wall.
Fair enough to go in for it even though,
like it's a scary challenge to even just commit to one.
I'm done.
I don't want to do any more, to be honest.
The morale is low.
Shifa just messed up the wall run.
Kind of our biggest fears.
Were that.
Yeah.
Swaggy is the hero of the squad
and he's keen for another attempt.
But I think we're all aware that if,
like we were saying,
your attempt today was kind of similar to Shifa's,
but you just backed out.
And I think Toby's getting higher and further than most of us
and he knows if he's going to hit that wall,
hit it with two feet.
Two feet is very, very, very important.
If I was hitting the wall,
but I wasn't hitting the arm jump,
I was going to turn to absorb the wall completely.
That you would never do on the street
because you've got water underneath you,
kind of situation.
And sort of just like flat the water
and just keep the ankle safe.
Shifa saved it like it's a street.
Yeah.
Like he went, that was like concrete.
Yeah.
Totally fine.
Yeah.
I mean, apart from the ankle.
Apart from the ankle.
Toby's fully aware of that.
You want to do four steps?
Five.
Five, yeah.
If all four are good, you've done it.
Yeah.
Are we about to witness Swag pull out one of these moments?
You know the moments.
We've seen it many a time.
Come on, Bob.
Let's go, Bob.
Come on.
You got that.
Unlucky.
Unlucky, Bob.
Unlucky fellow.
Didn't look for it again.
It's a bitch, man.
You've gone it so hard like in the moment to think.
That's the main problem.
When I start going, I'm going on pure instinct.
My instinct is to bail.
Overriding that's like really fucking hard.
Is the bail off in the right decision
because it's not there though?
Do you know what I mean?
That time, I didn't feel like much went wrong.
What's it saying, Max?
The clip?
It felt better than my last one,
Third.
Third again.
I think I'm pushing away too much on the first two steps.
It's that last one I had a go step,
like the wall didn't come when I wanted it to.
Yeah.
And then it looks like it slipped again.
I'd imagine I've done the same, but slightly less.
It does go from there though.
It's big.
Big though, yeah.
But I need to knock.
I couldn't have done it on that one.
How many is that?
Five?
One, two, three, four, five.
If it's one step closer, it's like so different.
Yeah.
But obviously it's your opposite foot.
It seems like, I was saying,
it's a common theme for this wall run,
the third step being the problem step.
I'll get dry and then do a bit more.
You're gonna go?
Yeah.
Come on.
I think this is doable.
Toby's getting really close.
He feels like he's got one more attempt in him.
You never know, if those steps go right,
he will latch onto that wall.
Yeah.
Right, this is it.
This is our last moment at this spot
for this trip in Madrid.
Right, the scene has been set.
It's now or nothing.
Come on, Toby.
Can he do it for the boys?
Good?
Yeah, yeah.
What a hero, two after that in the dark.
Jesus Christ.
That's mental.
After Schieffer as well.
Yeah, I know.
The morale was on a down low, mate.
And I think everyone was tapped out apart from Toby.
Your feet okay, yeah?
Yeah, chilling.
Yeah, yeah.
I think they just clunked the wall as you went in.
They hit the wall, but I was like,
ooh, my face broke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking hell.
It sort of looked there as well.
Putting in so much into the drive up the first bit.
Yeah.
Really hard to keep my chest in late.
Yeah, honestly, fair play for Bob
for even going for that after Schieffer's injury
and just the coldness of the water.
Hero, Bob, but fuck, is it possible?
We might need to bounty this up, lads.
Right.
Callum, Callum, shh, watch your mouth.
We've learned.
Fuck that.
100 million.
I want to change the technique, but I'm in it
and I'm just doing the fucking same thing.
I'm like, I just need to get the chest in.
I fucking can't get it in.
I think I'm driving so hard at the start.
I think it's the third step.
That was amazing.
Just do that, that.
Third step, slipped again.
Really?
Yeah.
That pure, just like.
One, two, three.
Slipped.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your forefist doesn't slip.
That would have been it.
Your cliff is good.
Fucking goes.
Fuck.
We're coming back.
You need to come back with a fixed hand.
Yeah.
You're about the two best wall runners right there.
Yeah.
