Frank “Freak of Nature” Beasley — The Wipeout King

August 4th, 2010 · 13 Comments

If you watched Wipeout last night, then you saw one of the most epic contestants ever. Frank Beasley, the force of nature!

Frank Beasley is the first to ever conquered the Shape Shifter* and actually finished the course on the true winner’s platform! He also avoided the hammer at the Door Knock, braved through a punch to the groin, and survived the Big Balls to finish at an epic time on the first course. The dude even snatched up the bonus ring on the third course for some extra money.

On the final course Frank sailed through and finished 4 minutes and 19 seconds under the nearest contestant!

I was so impressed I just had to find out about the real Frank Beasley and see if he was as hardcore as he looked to be on Wipeout.

It turns out that Frank lives in California and he is the drummer for Sinstorm, a heavy metal band. You can check out Frank’s skills on the drums here (language NSFW). No wonder the Wipeout course didn’t wear him down, the dude plays hardcore metal!

I’m not the only one who was impressed by Frank’s skills. There’s already a Facebook Group setup in his honor, Frank Beasley Wipeout Demon.

Frank is an active MySpacer using the name Frank666. On his latest update he mentions the Wipeout episode, but says he’s so busy right now that he had to put off the viewing party till later.

So Frank, if you read this, congrats on owning the Wipeout course. You rock.

*CORRECTION: Burton Hendrickson from Season 3 Episode 2 was the first person to get through the Shape Shifter. Thanks to a commenter for pointing out that error.

    I hate to be the dick here but you weren’t the first to “conquer” the shape shifter. Burton Hendrickson from Season 3 Episode 2 was the first person to get through that obstacle. But I thought you were cute, so I’m deciding to let that slide. Keep on slaying! And I think your grandma is totally sweet for telling everyone she knew that her granny boy was gonna be on T.V. And you can totally delete this message now, just wanted to let you know.
