Giving up on sledge hammer slide

[ironlionkalo]

WEAK!!!! lol jk jk

[HCFR36]

Too bad thats not the real CPAT Test...Thats straight out of the fire competition course....and it is short, quick hits to move the sled fast, not chopping wood here.

[JimDoneIt]

cpat was made so girls can pass. hope this kid came back and passed, and didnt give up on his dream.

[MagnumPI4]

its all mental. work through the pain

[eaglewarrior82]

lmao he sucks even i know u gota keep ur feet infront of the slide thingy u have more power thats common sence right there i dont even know shit about firefighters

[matty0234]

going in for the CPAT in two hours. If I get to that point, I want him to get my face and start screaming like a Marine DI haha. Since I didnt qualify for the marines because of medical reasons, going for my 2nd choice :)

[HolyVegeta]

"You're doing good, keep going. You're doing good man." Wow, talk about patronizing. I know that this exercise is hard. You really need to focus on how you swing the hammer to generate a good force. I've seen some guys lift the hammer half way up, barley making any sort of impact on the bar.

[72leftguard]

Hit the two bottom corners like bottom left the bottom right tht shit moves lol I did it in six or seven hits

[verizondude25]

When I did it, I couldn't swing the sledge higher than the chest. It's not as hard as it seems as long as you keep momentum and follow through. Try to hit it flat as well and you should be good.

[towely]

He's way too far back relative to the sled.

[willman808]

That shit is hard.

[Zeekstuff]

sad thing is he wasnt even on air

[CaptainFlores]

What a fagg

[Iamvalcristvalentine]

If you fall over from exhaustion your body gave out.

If you give up your mind gave out.

which would you want to be remembered for...

[youngharlemv]

it does get that way sometimes but you have to push through the metal fatigue... guess its just not for him

[MoisheKapoyr]

wow, what a puss.

[SuperJayZFan1]

He Was Actually Doing Good At The First Couple Of Hits, But Then He Stopped, But I Definately Know How He Was Feeling.

[MUSEMUSIC88]

Thats not like any hammer event I've seen, that one looks hella hard compared to others.

[ImMichaelThomas]

@MUSEMUSIC88 Hell yea it does.!!!

[skubbles]

Gotta keep it behind your heels.

[Brandon12287]

@skubbles keep what behind your heels is there some sort of trick to this

[skubbles]

@Brandon12287 Ya, you must keep the slide that you are hitting behind your heels. Not next to your feet or in front of your toes. You will get a lot more power.

[bear012d]

What a pussy.

[DaveAngus4lyfe]

im sorry but that is Horrible technique. Thats why you had such an issue doing the task at hand.

[kelbo031890]

i wanna try 

[toggibson]

This just should actually tried to get into shape before attempting this.

[trmajnky]

The fact that he gave up shows he shouldn't be a firefighter/

[trmajnky]

Pussy

[GOMEZ99Christian]

Was he on air?

[kngedy03]

What a cunt

[kngedy03]

What a dung

[wow2h85]

i feel bad for the guy

[mlk4life]

the trick is to keep your feet back behind the sled and hit low to get maximum force. i was pretty gassed at that point too on my phys agil testing. i dont see how ppl quit though. id rather die right there than quit.

[MrLaterali]

It looks like he was pretty worn out before he even started. I'd like to see what he had done before this. This isn't in the CPAT I have to take.

[southernboyw]

this isnt the cpat. the hammer drill on the cpat test is easy compared to this... who knows what else he went through.

[SteadeeB]

ill garuntee its harder then it looks

[TiredOldGamerULX]

Firefighter? More like Fail-fighter. Your new mantra is "Would you like to make that a large?"

[northhigh19]

The trick is to not have such a backswing. You need to have very quick hits. Don't stop either. The quicker you go the faster it'll be done with. I'm sure some of you out there know a lot about this.

[hunterboy46]

what size of sledge is that? seems really light or that guy was just that wore out lol

[ZeRoLiMiTz117]

That's why we have weight rooms.

[MYDICKISWOW]

SO WHAT IF HE FAILED!! ALL OF YOU AND I FAIL AT STUFF IN LIFE

HE FAILED THIS TEST BUT HE PROBABLY DID NOT QUIT, HE PROBABLY TOOK THE TEST AGAIN AND PASSED IT

SO CALM DOWN

[truegirl2anna]

@MYDICKISWOW This kids a pusssssyyyyyy

[legend1617]

@truegirl2anna I bet you can't even do the Keiser in a bikini!

[kindbds007]

The thing is that's only one part of the total testing. By the time he made it there he'd probably already finished the stair climb, hose drag, ladder deployment, or others depending on the choice of order established. CPAT is hard, but like they were saying in the video.. it's all in your head, or even moreso just strength of heart. Our forcible entry station had us hitting a standing target until it buzzed.

[legend1617]

@kindbds007 yea true no one knows until they actually put full gear on and do that shit themselves.I know cardio,technique and breathing are some of the main things you need to obtain before this test.Most people who talks shit about it are not fireman because fireman support each other in everything that they do.Even as a fireman you have to rest and hydrate yourself if you don't you pass out and become disoriented afterwards if you are search and rescue you could cost 2-3 lives doing so.

[AC130EMPYREAL]

that looks fuckin hard

[Dereksolo]

In all fairness, it was probably his first time doing the PAT on air; plus he's an explorer, meaning he's probably like 17 yrs old or something...

[nebulae87]

poor technique. Looked like he was trying to hit a baseball. NEVER GIVE UP

[dtcolorado5876]

Do you need a TAMPON???

[ishtech101]

This is called mental weakness!

[Livingnthewoods41]

He just needs to work on his technique, keep up the hard work  VOLUNTEER all the way, baby!!!!

[girlwithaviolin1]

@Livingnthewoods41 im with yah!!!!!!!

[ratpimples]

some technique practice with this guy would've gone a long way

[dtcolorado5876]

haaaaaa...get in shape buddy..must be a volunteer

[soontobeFF]

nah i went like yesterday to the station and got in 4 same kinda as tht it looks like anywa......and they say ur supposed to hit it wit samll fast hits not big ones which i dont get...the only thing i can think of is so tht ur not swinging a heavy tool around in a certain area

[shawnster26]

are you fuckin serious, i hope this guy no longer runs into building. im sorry but hes a danger

[selectamo]

I got this 17 sec.

[soontobeFF]

im an explorere and i can get tht all the way to ten in three hits

[Driko99]

there are more than one type of sled trust me this is not the same kind you are doing if you can do it in three hits. That is kind of obvious lol

[BG5850]

Pussy !? how is a pussy going to show up and save some one? hahahaha

[State1Trooper]

haha

[13241bear]

No pussies allowed in the fire service, or at least on my department.

[missmymissy]

Valiant Effort!

[allensanchez1990]

i dont get it why was he in pain? was his arms hurting or something?

[ashleyster13]

We did this at a training drill at St.Paul. Being an explorer is awesome! To me, It's kinda like being a Firefighter... except we can't have any Patient Contact on EMS calls, and we can't go into burning buildings. We can help clean up afterwards tho! We can also help set up.

[bec1422]

im in my 4th year as a Jr./explorer, i have 4 months until i become a sr. and all the guys in my department told me being a jr is alot more fun cause of all the stuff you learn, i didnt believe them at first but now i can admit it really is.

[badgt02]

This is the only time when you can quit and learn you weakness to improve upon. Quit in a fire and you or someone else dies.

[Prentice71]

real firefighters do not just give up

no matter how much it hurts

[marbm8]

gotta give the guy credit for tryin, it ain't for everybody. I've never done it, so I'm sure this guy would make me look like a weak fuck

[SGcomedy]

that's sad...i would guess most candidates who make it this far really want it. I've got 3-4 months to bust my ass for the CPAT

[2firefighting2]

ya you can't just use your arms they'll start to hurt you need to use your whole upperbodies weight and muscle and you notice that it'll slide twice as far on every strike.

[moniqueshanique]

its hard i've tried it and couldnt move my arms the next day but i do know its all about technique. good job anyway

[KTStull]

hey man you were close nice job, mount airy junior station 1

[turtlesecks]

shorter chops and lower on the block

[agginoc1503]

failure is the first step of reaching ultimate success. keep at it and you'll master it. Orange County Explorer Post 451

[kc958]

Hey, man, good job for trying. Keep working on it! -Riverside County Explorer Post 58

[patio87]

He's just a kid you asshole.

[cruKut3]

Hey shit happens man pick yourself up and get it next time around. people that are given yah a hard time have more than likely never tried it. :-/ good stuff though

P.P.F.D. Explorer @ Post#27

[firestorm591]

Just hit the damn thing.

[turtlesecks]

CPAT is a joke

[DntEatDaFish]

Kind of like your comments.

[boozy5646]

@turtlesecks And Im sure you passed it right.

[boozy5646]

@turtlesecks because you couldn't pass it?



[buzman1985]

Hes an explorer, give him a break.

[8races]

dude i did the same thing my first time of doing that

[Firefighter49]

Wow...better hit the gym bud.

[Shadow8136]

jesus just let it swing down itself and lift it up with momentum...

[Cooterrob]

The kaiser is pretty easy... I'm not that big of a guy, but it's easy if you know the rhythm and where exactly to hit it. I help out at the IFSI Explorer School and Fire College...

[itsjustme4life]

dude and any of you who have to do this in the future , keep your head up ,concentrate and never quit i no it hurts but its 100% worth it

[Dv3k]

thanks mate

[bugguy905]

the thing is that you hit the face of the sledge flast where 100% of the face of the hammer hits the side adn you hit it right in the middle how do you think they win on teh carnaval game

[4boston86]

sorry but that guy is a pussy

[DntEatDaFish]

It wasnt me, I was recording.
