Have you ever watched The Slow Mo Guys channel on Youtube? It's fun, interesting, and educative - all at the same time. Their video in which they crushed watermelons using nothing but rubber bands alone has over 15 million views. The founder of the channel Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy are not just the business partner or stunts artists, but they are good old friends as well. They were good friends long before the launch of their Youtube channel. 

In case you haven't watched any of their videos, here's a small information on what they do. The Slow Mo Guys channel, as the name suggests, is basically about two guys who do different stuff, which one can call stunts, alongside making a super, super slow video of the stunts. Sometimes they get punched in the face, sometimes they shoot skateboarder doing stunts, parkour videos, and sometimes, it's they who themselves do the stunts. In fact, most of the stunts in their videos are done by Free and Gruchy. They go through all the pain and trouble to show us a very slow moving world we all live in but don't realize its existence. 

It's really impressive to see how successful both Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy are at such a young age. Honoring their success, here are some cool facts about Gavin Free that you probably don't know:
