Alaskan

The blue vertical image you see before you is none other than the soon to be legend, Tim Kinegak. Tim is currently participating in the event known as Alaskan. This event requires one to use all possible faculties of the body and mind to touch a leather hacky-sack with one's foot, while keeping one hand on the ground. If this task alone were not difficult enough, Tim prefers to stand on his knucles as opposed to using the open-hand-on-the-floor technique to add a few extra inches to his reach. Observing this transpire in person is far more incredible than one would be led to believe. The picture here allows a glimpse as to how the event comes to its end. However, understanding the fact that the rules of the event dictate that one start on the floor in a sitting position, provides a cleaner, clearer image of the difficulty of the task. A master, such as Tim, has the ability to stay suspended in this position for nearly ten seconds, which leads one to solidify the notion that Newton was wrong and that mind is most certainly matter's master.
