This is probably actually one of the earliest forms of entertainment
the caveman in me was smiling and cheering as my heart was racing !!!!
Imagine being a squirrel, just sitting in a tree and all of a sudden You see a 200 lb boulder flying at you at 70 miles an hour
Imagine being a human just hiking up there only to be crushed to death before you realise that sound approaching is a problem.....
If that was loosed on purpose it was irresponsible in the extreme.
@@mnomadvfx If you're able to loose it then it was going to tumble eventually. The most responsible thing would be to split the rock into smaller pieces, but I doubt everyone carries rock splitting equipment on them. I mean, I do, but I don't think that's normal.
@@mnomadvfx From the angle of the film they probably make sure no one was downhill before doing so
The screeching and animalistic wailing is fucking hilarious. Like a bunch of chimps bouncing around all excited
Killing a tree that could have lived for hundreds of years, endangering anyone who might be near by and you think it's hilarious!
@@charleshayes2528 Nobody made you click on the video. Nobody made you watch the video. Sounds like a you problem.
Most rocks don't get to experience such excitement in life.
@@msi8311 I think the rocks will cherish their once-in-an-eon experience, even though humans were involved.
Imagine walking down that valley and a 200 Ibs boulder just wizzes past you 😂😂
I would drop to my knees and thank my lucky fvcking stars it didn't hit me.
These videos rule but thats also why you obviously shouldn't actuslly do this shit. Its insanely dangerous.

Don't google that.
@@gretashapiro4118 well from what the commenter wrote... more than 10000 years ago
No wonder why many ancient civilization brought rocks to top of a mountain for fun
It's actually genuinely scary how it was able to maintain its velocity for that long, and strong enough to fell an oak tree.
@@echofoxtrot2.051 But there wasn't.
And i5 looks like a terrible place to hunt
The irony of this, because oak trees often grow from boulders. They grow from underneath the boulders because the soil is moist there. Then as they grow, they split the rock, that's how strong the oak trees are. That's why you will often see oak trees with boulders around their trunks.
The cycle of life is so beautiful. Every time an oak is hunted by a wild boulder, another boulder is serving as the birthplace of an oak.
What a load of horseshit. How does the acorn get under the boulder? How does it sprout and grow, through a boulder mind you??, with no access to light. i call BS
@@davegrier523 All seeds start out under some soil and dirt where there’s no light, right? And just Google “tree splitting rock” and you’ll see plenty of examples of it
All trees can "split rock".
They have literally been doing so since trees existed.
Much of the sand content in modern soil was created by trees and other vegetation breaking down silicate heavy rocks in prehistoric times.
Some of it has even been around so long that it was compressed down by time and pressure into rock again (sandstone).
Does anybody else think that the guys cheering in the background sound like Angry Birds?
Dudes are just PSYCHED about a rock rolling down a hill LOL !!! I would be too
"Go Geodude! Use tackle!"
*It was super effective!*
The technology that goes into the game of bowling really has come a long way.
I guess in this case rock beats paper. Damn.
But seriously that’s so cool and horrifying. It looks like the tree wasn’t super big but it still is impressive to see!
Dummy, delete your comment, someone made that analogy a year ago. Then you added the generic “impressive” remark
"along their journey to mordor, the hobbits made certain to stop periodically for routine tomfoolery"
"And as they came upon a stone with a shape such as a carriage wheel, the hobbits decided it would be fun to roll it leasurely down the hill and see what would become of it once they did.
The stone rolled down the hill swiftly while it was cheered on by the party, having noticed the hobbits getting it ready before it rolled over an innocent shrub, yet it did not stop. The hill was too steep for a mere shrub to stop such a stone, that turned within the small ditch created by time and its path was set towards the nearest forest.
Luck would have it that a tree was there to stop the stone, but at its own cost as it fell appart like old cheese as if a lightning came upon it"
If that boulder had that much force to break a tree, imagine what it could’ve done to a human. Ouch.
These are the sort of people who shouldn't be allowed out of the house.
And seemingly you are the type who needs to get out the house and get out of the comments section...
The level of excitement from this group when the boulder takes out the tree tells me I need more adventure in my life, lol..
They're just teenage boys. Many of them just giggle at anything, especially when in a group of their friends. It's like a state. A person walking by steps on an empty scan of soda, the teenagers sees this and immediately start laughing. It was unintended, there for hilarious.
@@kao380 Nah, I was just thinking of my cousin's kid and answering honestly. He even asked me the other day, "Why do my friends and I laugh at anything, is it because we're immature?" And I said yes. And he asked that specifically because it seems like a common thing that others tell them. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but the reason is immaturity. A few months ago he saw that I had a folder named "To Buy" and immediately started laughing.
There is no curse in Elvish, Entish or the tongues of men..for this Treachery!
“When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious shit.”
That’s INSANE!!! I feel bad for that poor tree, though. 🥺
Same, a beautiful oak tree that survived 100s of years only to be struck down by a rock.
Surely the guys who pushed the rock planted another tree in the same spot. 😂
This made me think of my hiking group. As we were making our way down a very steep canyon a woman in the group decided a thirty pound boulder posed a hazard to the trail, or something, so she gives it a shove. No surprisingly it made it's way back to the trail and gained speed. It bounced, and went over the shoulder of another hiker at eye level, after which it hit a rock face and shattered. Needless to say that hikers life was spared by inches. What could have been a tragedy, was avoided by luck. As we all know it's all fun and games, but don't lose your head over it.
exactly what I was thinking, people should take responsibilities more seriously bc somewhere someone always get hurt
@@pimslickins8321 funny till you aren't breathing and your family are crying
@@narcleptik Well, if I weren't breathing I would know nothing & wouldn't care.
Can you imagine being a soldier back in the day and the enemy decides to roll around 15 to 20 boulders at you like this. Your just sitting there like well this is not good.
No, we'd kill the idiotthat ordered us up a hill, because this was a literal uphill battle and god damn has that gone badly.
in the 90’s croatia rolled naval mines down a hillside and let them roll into the enemy position before detonating. the explosion was immense
That boulder would go through someone like a hot knife through butter. Kinetic energy at its best.
Peacefully, gracefully the oak tree grew for 200 years experiencing the morning dews and the caress of gentle moonlight.

Rock: "And I took that Personally."
@@timothyhaines556 Nein ich lebe noch. Aber ein Stein kann ja auch nicht sprechen, das ist ja nun mal Fakt.
When I was younger, I would do this. I now realize, there's people all over the place, even in the wilderness, but especially in national parks, and you often have no idea where they are.
Even if there's no people out there, imagine if any other wildlife were that way.
@Rogue Squadron actually it's on you. People go to jail for doing this.
@Rogue Squadron I'm right behind you. Don't turn around though. Just believe me.
That's insane, considering the boulder wasn't THAT big!
Imagine being an oak tree who's survived for over a hundred years, only to be struck down by big rock.
I'm 200lbs. I need to learn how to roll like that so I can take out all my enemys
I remember my father telling me not to loosen rocks like this, since it is extremely dangerous for anyone who might happen to be down there.
It’s the equivalent of shooting guns in the middle of no where and knowing what’s beyond your shot. No one was down there or else they wouldn’t have tipped it away.
@@GrabbaBeer The rock took a rather unpredictable turn. How, exactly, would they have known if anyone was in those trees? This is exactly like spraying gun fire into a forest on public land.
@@GrabbaBeer a police officer thought the same thing trying to shoot at a snake up in a tree. The bullet hit a 5 year old kid in the head 500 yards away. He was fishing with his grandfather at a pond.

Good old boulder rolling. We used to do this in the woods of northern Arizona near a subdivision my family lives in. There was an old, abandoned tractor at the base of a hill that was our target. You would be surprised how much damage a rolling boulder can do.
Bruh imagine that rock going at you. My life would've flashed before my eyes while life is a highway plays in the background.

I took that rock 300 million years to get to the top of the hill. And now you’ve pushed it back.
people laughing at a tree's destruction, while they endanger anyone downslope. reminds me of the scene from Rollerball, the original.
Ok but that's scary
Imagine minding your own business and this big ol' rock coming at you faster the sonic

@@SirDieALot666 unless it doesn't hit you full on which probably not because you'd eventually notice the massive rock but not before you can get fully out of the way, so then it's a slow debilitating death

@@rkb6783 I must have at least a passing acquaintance with it as I was quoting.
I was climbing once and some base jumpers pushed some huge rocks off the ledge. One landed 10 feet from me after 300 feet of descent and sounded like a bomb had gone off.
Halfway through was anybody else like "wtf it rolls into a small bush" and then GASP when it's kicking up dust busting ass down the hill like MOTHER OF GOD
i was wondering where it went, rock that big couldnt be stopped by a bush, i bet it even kept going after hitting that tree
Exactly! I was like "that's a not an oak tree what are you talking about?" AND THRN IT CAME OUT THE OTHER SIDE HOLY SHIT
Attenborough voice: “And here we see the human male with his companions. Though they might not be the intelligent half of the species they always find creative ways to amuse themselves”

Imagine being out on a hike and all the sudden this Boulder just takes you out like it did that tree.
It would clobber your head clean off.
Or leave your arms and legs floating.
Fuuuuck that!!
Considering oak is a super strong wood, the kinetic energy that thing was carrying is scary
Looks like that 200lbs (90kg) boulder was doing at least 11 m/s (40kph, 24 mph) that is 5445 Joules.
If it was going 15m/s that is 10125 Joules.
This only accounts for its energy overall as the whole object as if it was just falling, not counting the rapid rotation.
@@KorianHUN Even so, that tree may have been partially rotted. You can't tell anything from this distance. The average oak tree would shrug that boulder off like it was nothing.

Everyone saying wooo!! sounds like whenever you complete a level in angry birds
In the presentation today we will hear the sounds of the *_Common Sotted Yokel_* (aka the *_Woods Oaf_* ).
The rock represents their thoughtless down hill lives, gaining speed, recklessly destroying everything in their path, that can never make whole again.
At the end, you can hear the behavior known as "whooping".
Later when met with disapproval, they will switch to "rationalizing" behavior.
Did this when I was young and stupid walking in the Warrumbungle ranges in Australia. We weren’t aiming for anything just pushed a big boulder down a steep rockslide. As it picked up speed it started bouncing just like that one, me and my friend looked at each other like ‘shit, what have we done?’. Then we saw it was heading straight for a massive gum tree near the bottom of the scree. We didn’t say anything to each other (no time) but we were both thinking exactly the same thing, what happens when an unstoppable object hits an immovable tree? Was the rock going to explode on impact or would it knock the tree down? As it got closer it was clear it would be a direct, dead centre hit and just before it hit it bounced about four foot in the air and FOOMP!! _It smashed a hole completely through the tree and kept going, hell for leather!!_ like something from a roadrunner cartoon.
Will never forget it.
@@donpixler743 I can totally see somebody walking past the tree wondering, "how the fuck did that happen?"
Imagine being on a hike, then out of nowhere, a boulder is tumbling straight toward you and whacks you into the next decade.
Me and my mates used to drop boulders down a certain steep hillside, we always called out for a while with a warning to avoid just that.
...and then finding out that some immature, whooping wankers had done this to you in order to show it on UA-cam.
It's called an avalanche. A guy who survived the Mt Everest storm of 97 was killed by one a few years later. Fricken mountain got him.
It was at this moment the alien observation group sent to integrate us into galactic society, decided to just give us another million years or so
I've seen this video a few months ago, and laughed my fool head off! Poor tree! It never had a chance! I'm from northern CA., and used to hike on occasion the foothills that are very similar to this area being filmed, and thanks again for a good belly laugh. Oh, I saved it then and did that just again now. Have a great day! M

I mean I get it man its annoying, but they didn't film the video for you. They were there for their enjoyment and you were just along to witness it via video.
@@Glowingeyes99 if they didn’t video it for me then why did they put it on UA-cam?? Why does UA-cam have a comment section? GET IT?????
I'm amazed at how far that rock rolled. I guess that's why they call it "ROCK AND ROLL". If it's good it goes on forever!
I'm sure the guys doing this know there's nobody down there, but that just looks so irresponsible. My Dad always taught me never to do that, even if you know there's nobody below. Probably more in reference to a high up mountain than something like this, but still.
Yeah, I was walking down a valley one time ... and all of a sudden, buckshot is raining all down around me. Some clowns thought it would be fun to shoot at the birds in the trees above me - and not game birds, but little things like blue jays and magpies. Same idiotic mind-set.
There’s no possible way they could know nobody’s down there if it’s a public park. There could be kids playing in the trees or people hiking
I have no idea why you think these morons even thought about what would happen if it hit someone. Or cared.
It is actually called Trundling. Frowned upon by many for the risks that it can cause. Trundling - Wikipedia
“Dude we pushed a boulder down a hill and it took out a whole fucking tree” not a soul would believe you without this video😂
Bro you can feel the excitement on that rock as he's close to tackling that tree
I lived in the mountains when I was a kid. My brother and I were hiking way up this mountain and saw this boulder the size of a smart car that looked like it was about to roll down this very steep area. We were familiar with the area below and confident that was no one below and it was going to fall at some point in the near future so we decided to help it. We braced it with trees and dug under it. We worked on it for hours and finally it started to move. The peaks are around 7000ft and the valley is around 2000ft so we figured it rolled over a mile and dropped 4000ft. It was totally worth the effort. It went crashing down the slope smashing huge trees and rocks. After it dropped over the first edge we figured we wouldn't see it but a couple of times it bounced high enough for us to see it for a moment.
That poor rock had finally got the best seat in the house, and some nitwits done wrecked it's day.
@@rodshop5897 it doesn't take long, living in mountainous terrain, too realize that rocks want nothing more than to roll down a hill. A little drizzle, roll down the hill. A light freeze, roll down the hill. Fire, roll down the hill. That rock had been wanting to roll down that hill for hundreds of years
@@PurpleHeart-gh6sv did you see the part about smashing huge trees? That was not anticlimactic. We're worked at it for a long time and at the end, it crashed down the mountain, destroying everything in its path. That's the climax. You can say it was boring or whatever but saying it was anticlimactic just seems factually incorrect.
That rocks life goal is finally achieved killing that tree who stole his toilet paper when he was shopping in stone mart
Edit: yeah I didn't think that one through but anyways your ideas were much better
A tree uses toilet paper? So it rubs its own species' dead tissue on its butt?
It’s like those college kids in a frat who decide to throw a couch out of a second story window and kill someone
“Oh SHIT honey run there’s a Squatch throwing boulders!”
*Documentary made a year later:*
“We heard the Squatch yipping and making these fiendish animal noises before throwing a giant Boulder at is that took out an entire tree...”
Looks like the rock shaped into a wheel-like structure as it received wear and tear. No doubt some people long ago did experiments like this and realized hey, maybe we could use that rock afterwards for something, and make others that shape and have it roll just as well. And so the invention of the wheel happened.
There are two possible origins for wheeled carts. The first is log rollers - using logs to move big stones more easily, by placing a bunch of logs underneath the stone like railway tracks to reduce surface area and make pushing them take less energy. The other is a fire-starting tool called a bow-drill that involves winding string around an axle, and having a rock act as a bit of mass to conserve momentum and keep the stick spinning fast enough to create sparks. This is likely what inspired the invention of potter's wheels, which could have inspired wheeled carts later on. Whatever the case, wheeled vehicles did not appear until trade routes over land were already well established, and many isolated peoples who had no long distance trade, like the Aztecs, never invented them.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_drill
You are SERIOUSLY implying that the earliest wheels were made of stone? As opposed to, oh, I don't know -- wood? Logs also roll, as do pebbles and other small stones: pre-humans would have noticed this LONG before even the first stone tools were invented. This is NOT rocket science.
Girlfriend: he's away ,he's probably cheating on me
Boyfriend:
People say that it's still rolling to this day
My heart hurts for the oak tree. I wonder how many years it stood strong before it was killed.
I've heard its bark was worse than its bite. Maybe its branching out for new ground, saying to the other trees, "leaf me alone, you don't know the root of this problem!" Hopefully its not being too knotty!
Can’t even roll a boulder down a hill without breaking the law. At least prison is free.
Rip to the guy taking a dump behind those bushes
