Yes

Gerhard (pictured above) is my personal favorite, however he placed 3rd in the Full Beard Freestyle category at the 2007 World Beard and Moustache Championships . Other categories include; Imperial Moustache, Sideburns Freestyle, Musketeer, and Hungarian. If you are not intrigued enough to click that link and see these men then something is pretty wrong.

I got a hold of some video from Eric's training regiment for the Thai Skaters. Here he is demonstrating some exercises. As you will see he is a dedicated and inspirational coach:

"The 12-week-old macaque was rescued on Neilingding Island, in Goangdong Province, China, after being abandoned by his mother.
Taken to an animal hospital, he was weaned back to physical health but still showed little appetite for life.
It was not until a fellow patient, a white pigeon, took him under her wing and showed him love and affection that he perked up. Now the two are inseparable, say staff. "

Thai Ripper

Here is a sequence I nabbed off Eric's Blog of him tearing up Thailand (Chachoengsao to be more specific). He can be seen here launching over a wide, patchy gap - Awesome! And ending up in the gutter on one attempt - maybe not as awesome....
