New GoPro Hero2 Advertising

If you want to see the new GoPro camera get some serious action.....

Guy jumps over a Lamborghini

I don't know who is dumber: the guy driving (who could end up with blood and dents all over his sweet car) or the guy jumping (who could obviously get pretty hurt if he is taken out at the ankles).

You decide.

Mountain Biker vs Buck

"Mountain Biker, Evan van der Spuy of Team Jeep South Africa got taken out by a RED HARTEBEES at amountain bike race at Albert Falls Dam. Check out this crazy footage which was taken by team mate Travis Walker."

If this guy missed.....

A few weeks ago this video was making the rounds (please excuse the annoying music):

I never posted it because it seemed like everyone had already seen it. Anyway, if you think that one is nuts (which it is) at least he has a chance to turn away if he isn't going to make it. In the next video he doesn't have that luxury. Please excuse the annoying announcers.

Floating

Check out this awesome free falling video. The slo-mo shots near the sides of the mountain are spectacular.

I love that those GoPro cameras have become so cheap that videos like this are starting to pop up everywhere but the editing on this one is pretty epic.

Serious Surfing: TEAHUPOO Tahiti

These guys are not messing around. Apparently these waves are 40-50 ft high. I don't want to know what that feels like when it crashes down on you. This location is quite dangerous because of the shallow reef too. It seems pretty stupid to me but it does look cool.

Also if you think these waves are big, apparently there are guys like Laird Hamilton who surf waves closer to 90 feet.

Kilian Martin: A Skate Illustration

This guy can skate. He is doing freestyle tricks I have never even imagined were possible and I have played a lot of Tony Hawk back in the day.
I love the slo-mo parts in the puddle.

Jetman Flight at Grand Canyon

You have all seen those vids of the guys in wing suits but check out this video of a guy in a wing suit jet pack.

What makes this vid even cooler is the awesome backdrop of the Grand Canyon. Gotta check it out sometime....

Danny Macaskill - Industrial Revolutions

I loved the last Danny Macaskill video and this one features even more serious skills in an industrial train yard somewhere in Scotland.

Also the music is pretty good (very sad lyrics....).

YoYo Insanity

Anybody remember those kids in the yoyo club back in high school.....? Well apparently this is what they were up to.

Those aren't toys anymore. They are weapons.

Longboarding near Madrid

This looks like an awesome time. Scary but awesome.

Also it features a pretty cool Decemberists song.

Snowmobile Up, Roll Down

This looks like tons of fun if you have money to burn!
You don't realize how steep that mountain is until he gets to the top....and then the bottom.

A Hiker's Dream

This video captures the Appalachian Trail in 4000 photos.

Green Tunnel from Kevin Gallagher on Vimeo.

If this doesn't make you want to get out there and hike I don't know what does. I know for myself, I want to do more hiking (and possibly biking) in Gatineau this summer.

Extreme Downhill Biking

Check out this extreme downhill biking video from Valparaiso, Chile. You are going to want to make this full screen when you watch it.

It looks like tons of fun but I think I'll stick to snowboarding for now.....

Why Snowboarding is Safer than Skiing

This is just insane. Make sure you put it on full screen and you will be blown away by this footage. It makes me nervous just thinking about that view let alone what happens.....

Danny MacAskill - "Way Back Home" - NEW street trials riding short film

Best travelling bike video with some awesome tricks. Danny MacAskill riding home and doing tricks throughout Scotland.

This isn't your standard bike tricks video. Think incredible views and ancient architecture.

Maybe in an Alternate Universe

After our crazy episode yesterday while trying to watch the Netherlands and Spain battle it out for the World Cup I would have loved to be reading this in the evening.

And apparently I could have because good ol' CBS news had posted this and left it up for several hours after the game ended.

Just think, I could have been under the assumption that Oranje beat out Roja for the World Cup title if all I had read was this pre-written article congratulating The Netherlands for defeating Spain “by a score of SCORE to SCORE”

District 11 in Joburg: With Football Fans

Here is the original trailer for District 9 the movie (which is actually pretty good).

But this is phenomenal! If you have seen the movie you will LOVE this spoof trailer which ties in world cup fans to the alien presence in the movie.

So Awesome!

Go Holland!!!

I'm out to watch the Dutch play Cameroon this afternoon.

But has anybody else noticed the vuvuzela button on youtube yet?

In honor of that I present my favorite vuvuzela photoshoped picture yet.....

Oh Maradona - I know you will probably win it too. What a punk.

Water Consumption vs Gold Medal Game

Here is an awesome graph showing water consumption in Edmonton during the gold medal hockey game a couple weeks ago. I wonder if some people's toilets refilled a little slower than usual although you can guarantee that nobody would have been to concerned about that at the time.

Can't you just imagine a whole nation of people holding it in till the end of the period?
