Tell me about it Axlish, it's a dream of mine. :D

[axlish]

Yeah but I've been there more than once, but never had the stones.

[jdog]

man that would be sweet to do that. a dream of mine also.

[Philly_SWAT]

Yeah, I really wanted to do that as well, but I only rode up and down and got some still pics.

[EDukes]

LoL. That is freaking awesome!

...im guessing this was filmed at monroeville mall right?, either way its cool but, a fair bit "meh" at the same time.

[MinionZombie]

I thought they put studs down that part so people couldn't "do a Roger" down them ... they must have had a lot of people doing that, hehe.

Hell yeah I'd like to do that as well, yeehaw! :D

Complete BS. Imagine the asswipe that started that rumor. What could have been his or her motivation. "Gee, lemme just make up some crap"

[HLS]

that looks fun actually

I think it may have been at the Monroeville Mall. It looks very, very familiar to me.

The escalator at the JCPenny was a cool one. I am not sure if that was the JCPenny one or not for it was such a short clip but way back when the whole area around the escalator was mirrored.

[MinionZombie]

I figured it was the case, especially in America - the sue-happy capital of the world. :rockbrow:

[Yojimbo]

I heard about the studs on the escalator at Pennys too, but when I visited there were none. Almost too tempting to ignore, but my wife wouldn't let me take the slide saying that she would be embarrassed if some punk-kid security guard escorted us out of the mall. Considering she was cool enough to agree to go to Monroeville for our vacation and tolerate a comic book convention, I had to obey her, but now I wish I had done it just to say that I did.

[axlish]

I promise that I will try when I get there again, but I am more of a Peter than a Roger, so I don't know if I'll fit between the handrails.

[capncnut]

Make sure you post a pic when you do man. :D

heh, I was thinking about going to Monroeville in the next few weeks. Only a 2 hour drive from where I live, and I wanna see the mall hella bad.

Is the guy in the video at Monroeville Mall? It sure looks that way. That just makes it about 100 times more awesome.

Savini said that pegs were installed on the escalaters during the commentary for the Dawn DVD.

[axlish]

Oddly enough, I just listened to that one the other night. I bet you he is repeating what he read on the net, because he hasn't seen these pegs with his own eyes.

When you were about to leave you say "i'll be right back!". Run off, do your bit, she's none the wiser!

That said, I know the feeling. My GF givs es me much slack, so I got to give her some of what she demands sometimes.

[Debbieangel]

I live an hour away from Monroeville Mall and I am sooo tempted... Who will take bets I can do this without killing myself (bad back)or guards carting me off the premises? LOL
I am soooooo tempted to do this for you ALL!!!
FOR THE GOOD OF HPotD!!!!:kiss:
Believe me if I do it even if it isnt the whole way you guys will see it posted right here!!!!
Just give me time to get someone to take me to the mall and nerves of steel to actually do it!

[MinionZombie]

I totally support you going for a Roger down the escalator! :):cool:

You need a spotter at the bottom to give you the all clear, then thrash it down from the top when it's clear up there, and then haul ass outta there before the security reacts. :D

If you have kids get them to do it:D

[capncnut]

I imagine it must be a problem there, not exactly the safest of scenes to copy. :lol:

Yeah, you know the drill!

Still wish I had done it though. One of you single people has to go and do this for me in my name!

OK does it count if I dont do it from the top clear to the bottom, maybe from top to middle or just part? I dont think I can do that last part for real I will kill myself LOL...I have to find someone to take me there yet that will also be my look out and film me doing it!!! I gotta get the nerve to do it so sometime between now and this Summer I will do it and if not then its not doable...its for the good of HPotD and you too Yojimbo!!! Now to bribe my getaway driver hehe!!;) The plan has begun!!!

As far as I am concerned it counts to do it from wherever, as long as you land on your feet at the bottom. Of course, it's probably easier -- and safer --to start from the top rather than half way down.

I figure you will need a few accomplices-- like that other dude stated -- at least one spotter at the bottom to clear traffic and look out for security, and someone to operate the camera.

Figure, even if you get caught, what can a "security officer" really do except take names and kick people out of the mall for the rest of the day. Worst case scenario, though, is that you have a bad landing and injure yourself. Maybe there should be an additional team member on the bottom that can catch you if you pitch forward on landing! Protective gear would probably be a good thing --knee and elbow pads and the like.
