- Gay Wilkinson enjoys blowing anvils more than 100 feet in the air. So much so that is a world champion at the activity. See how he does it, along with Riverfront Times writer Keegan Hamilton, in this video.

“Gay Wilkinson, professional anvil shooter” best shit I’ve heard this year.
Heyy that's Berd. Got his permission? :P

Indeed
"don't try this at home"
Me: sadly looks at my anvil
Now this was a good comment 👌
Y u got an anvil
Just do it in a random park I’m sure it will be fine
@@isayedit1806 now this was a good reply
* Sadly looks at my anvil * , but i don't have one
the guy who lit the fuse did not run away as nearly as fast as i thought he should’ve
Yeah, I think his head is kind of near the top anvil, too. Wouldn't be smarter to get 3' long lighter? But, hell, what do I know? He's the world champion anvil shooter.
No need to panic .... it's far safer to clear the area without nervousness.
@@FourDollaRacing There's panic, and then there's *at the very least a brisk walk
He has the world record - no need to run ;)
Fuses burn at a predictable rate. If you know which one you used you can take your time.
“And I’m here with World champion anvil shooter Gay Wilkinson”
Me: wait there’s a championship?!
I’m more surprised his name is gay
69th like, noice
The name “Gay Wilkinson” sounds like a made up name lol
"We're going to light it and then run away" lights it and casually walks away
i mean they probably knew it took a long time to shoot
You wouldn't want to trip and fall. Lol
He's old

When someone asks who's the anvil shooter does everyone say "That's Gay."?
I am learning both that "shooting anvils" is a thing, and also a thing so big as to need a world champion declared ...today is a good day
"World Champion Anvil Shooter" thst title strikes so much power it's unreal
His arch enemy is the world champion anvil catcher
And then his name, Gay wilkinson
It has weight to it.
With that name he wanna be good at something lol
That is one MOTIVATED title
"Gay Wilkinson."
"World champion anvil shooter."
This is the best thing I have ever heard
I was wondering how much competition there is for that title. I feel like the only things standing between me and the title are two anvils, black powder and yellow lined paper.
😂
Gay wilkinson?
More like gay milking son
Update: The record was recently broken by his son Straight wilkinson
Shut up fortnite pfp
What's the difference between "it may contain offensive language" and "the language it contains may offend you"? Did the person who wrote the opening title screen not know what kind of language the video contains? Or were they trying to avoid suggesting that if a viewer is offended, it's something that doesn't happen to everybody?
What

I was looking for this comment ngl
Me and the boys just casually launching anvils 100 feet into the air
Amazing, well done.
I love this video and everything about it
I’d like to see what the ground look like after it hit.
He placed the charge under the launch anvil but on top of another anvil that remained on the ground during launch so I would think the ground is unaffected in any way other than the grass being pressed down by the two anvils combined weight.
It probably went straight into the ground like 75/80 percent
@@jamessouza7065 I think he meant after the anvil went into the ground
There would be no ground left lol, just a crater
Poor mans meteor
I'd be more impressed if he was a world champion anvil catcher.
Best comment I've read today. Muckin farvelous.
Most people are champion only once before they pass away.
Nah, that's where you come in. 😁
Everytime a new champion anvil catcher gets the title he dies instantly
Anvil shooter must first always apprentice as anvil catcher. It’s a bylaw of the guild.
Imagine, the anvil is falling on your head.
*Fatality*
It's a... heavy subject you're talking about lmao
this is everything i hoped for and more

Actually if you've ever seen looney tunes, an anvil can only produce such a crater if an anthropomorphic animal is standing beneath it
@@IPODsify wow really didn’t know thanks for clarifying
It's because of the terminal velocity on earth
True. The anvil was probably nowhere near terminal velocity from the height it fell from in this video though. Even if it was, a decent sized crater probably wouldn’t be made.

I would have thought that the energy rather quickly would have faded out to the sides -
unlike a cannonball that are being forced out through a relatively long barrel
that drives the energy of the explosion in one direction only.

@@calumcaldwell1884 you stole this comment
You Americans call everything "world champion" even if it's a local competition or event. Lmao
I have seen this done several times. The history of doing goes back to times when communities or towns didn't have bells to ring in celebrations. Sometimes you will hear this referred to as "Ringing an Anvil". I couldn't hear it in this video, but when shot, the anvil will ring like a bell, hence the ringing would mark a celebration. You may notice that the base of his anvil was hollowed out for the power. I have only seen your usual anvil, like a blacksmith would have had, and they are flat on the bottom. It was not mentioned in the video, but the last part is the hardest work. Upon landing, the anvil may bury itself 1-2 feet in the ground. It has to be dug out of the ground. This man has done this A LOT, so don't try this at home. If you know what your doing, you can aim them to go straight up and straight down. This harkens back to the days of the blacksmith.
