Who did Scheving's flip flops on the show Stuntdoubles in LazyTown

[Tommy-The-Mutt]

Who did Sheving's flip flops on the show?
I suspect that the insurance guys wouldn't let him do
any flip flops ( although I suspect that Sheving would
be very capable of doing them himself ), so who
did them?

Re: Flip-Flops

For a minute I thought this thread was about shoes, lol. That's all we need, another thread about LT shoes on this forum...

Magnús did some of the stunts himself, allegedly he once put his foot through a wall and they left him hanging there! Seeing as he probably built the wall himself, I don't suppose he can complain though.

He does have several stunt doubles, if you look at the cast list at the end of the show it says something like "Sportacus Stunts".
Here's a behind-the-scenes pic of him with 2 of the other Sportacuses:

Firstly his name is SCHEVING. Pronounced SKAY-VING. Sorry, but I'm an epic grammar nazi so I picked up on that :hitler:

Yes Maggi has done some stunts by himself, but he is getting older and has hurt himself doing stunts.

And that pic is awesome

The internet needs more grammar nazis. And less nazi nazis.


Here's me chipping in my tuppence worth, more etiquette than grammar related:

In general it's considered impolite to refer to Icelanders by their surnames only, as they tend to use a patronymic system (people's surnames are derived from the first name of their father).
In Magnús' case, he doesn't have a patronymic surname (indeed it's not an Icelandic name at all, as they have no letter c in their alphabet!), but, for example, it would be rude to reduce Stéfan Karl Stéfansson's name to just Stéfansson.
Even if you were talking to the president you'd probably be able to get away with using just a first name.

I remember hearing off Mani that Maggi's real last name was Eyjolfsson and he changed it in his teens, to his grandfather's name. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his grandfather Danish?

And Maggi put his foot in a wall cos one day, Robbie got pissed off at not being allowed to smoke in the studio and set his Sportashoes off
