Tim Ferriss' "Trial By Fire" TV Pilot Debuts Tomorrow Night [Television]
Spurl.net
Set your TiVos, folks: Author of The 4 Hour Workweek. and Lifehacker guest author. Tim Ferriss debuts the pilot episode of his new TV show, "Trial By Fire," on The History Channel tomorrow night. Hit the play button above to get a taste (and hear them call him a "lifehacker"!) Ferriss explains what it's all about: The concept is simple: I have one week to attempt to learn what is usually learned over 5-20 years. I either crash and burn - or survive by the skin of my teeth - in a final test (trial by fire) each time. If it's made into a series, which depends entirely on viewership numbers on Thursday night, I'll deconstruct a new complex skill each week. It will show you exactly how I approach learning, and no fake TV drama will be required to make the stakes real. The pilot airs tomorrow night at 11PM ET/PT on The History Channel (though do double-check your local listings), and here's what you'll see. This episode was shot in HD in Tokyo and the mountains of Nikko, where I rolled the dice on Japanese horseback archery, or yabusame: full gallop, no hands, no safety gear, with wooden poles lining the track on either side of the horse. Please don't do this at home. I had access to the best in the world, and you'll get to see some never-before-seen footage of a rare and brutal samurai sport few non-Japanese have ever attempted. Like Tim said, this is a pilot that hasn't been turned into a series yet, so only your eyeballs will determine whether the show continues. Planning on watching? Tell us what you think about the teaser clip in the comments. BIG NEWS and Sneak Peek - Tim Ferriss TV Show Debut 12/4. [The Blog of Tim Ferriss]
