Inspired Bicycles

This video is up at the top of the Viral Video Charts. Here's the video info:

Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill (more info at www.dannymacaskill.com) features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There's some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

World of Red Bull Ads

Go check out what Lou's got to say about the World of Red Bull ads over at AD v e r t i s e Me

...Red Bull does do some pretty cool events/contests though, such as the Red Bull BCOne where they stage 16 of the best dancers in the world against each other. Featured below is Ronnie Abaldonado who was the runner up four years in a row until 2007 when he finally became BC ONE Champion. Also showcased in the recent RB TV ads is Robbie Maddison, a 27 year old Freestyle Motocross Champion who also has a World Record for jumping across a football field of approximately 322 feet during the Red Bull New Year No-Limits event. The last 3 of 3 Red Bull TV ads introduces Ian Walsh and it broadcasts him bombing a wave that's at least 70 feet high. You can find out more about him on the section Red Bull Surfing.

This could be the pinnacle of stupid animal tricks.

Enjoy Chester in all his glory.

Twouble with Twitter

I have a love/hate relationship with Twitter. I think it's pretty awesome to see real time updates of Lance Armstrong's broken collar bone or to find Shaq in your city and win free tickets to a Suns game. I also think it's pretty annoying and sometimes creepy how some people have let Twitter take over their lives. For now, I will participate in a half-assed manner and only time will tell if Twitter can make a true believer out of me.

Did You Know?

Awesome video. Now if only all these did you know facts had a cited source...

Bizkit the Sleepwalking Dog

NFL Fantasy Files

The Fantasy File series, created by Blue Room, started in August 2006 with three high profile NFL players, Neil Rackers (Arizona Cardinals), Chris Simms (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) & Braylon Edwards (Cleveland Browns), performing some absolutely fantastic acts, crossing the line of possibility, in order to get picked.

Last year the New York-based creative services agency continued the campaign with the addition of six new videos to its “NFL Fantasy Files” series starring NFL personalities Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints), Mike Nugent (NY Jets), Andre Johnson (Houston Texans), Jason Campbell (Washington Redskins), David Akers (Philadelphia Eagles) and Marc Bulger (St. Louis Rams).

Four new 2008 “NFL Fantasy Files” videos have been released by Blue Room. This year the following NFL players are asked to perform their tricks: Laurence Maroney (New England Patriots), Mason Crosby (Green Bay Packers), Chris Cooley (Washington Redskins) and Chris Chambers (San Diego Chargers)

To date the “NFL Fantasy Files” videos have received in excess of 4.7 million YouTube views! All videos are quite amusing to watch, even if you’re not a fan of the NFL or American Football in general.

DC Shoes Founder Ken Block Makes a Viral Vid on Drifting

[via AdFreak]

Anyone can talk about making a "viral video," but the reality is that it takes a lot of great content, planning and hard work to make it happen. That's why it's no surprise that more than 16 million viewers have watched this clip produced for rally racer Ken Block, DC Shoes and Subaru. This stunning display of Block's driving is packed with mind-blowing stuff, and you don't have to be a "Tokyo Drift" fan to enjoy the show. "Ken approached us in early 2008 with the idea of co-producing a viral web film that would showcase his driving skills on tarmac, and put the sport of Gymkhana (pronounced 'jim-ka-nah') on the map here in the U.S.," writes marketing agency Mad Media on its site. "We worked with Ken over the course of 6 months to develop his idea into a practical shot list, and secured the El Toro Marine Base for location shooting. After two days of intense filming, and several weeks of editing, we delivered the final Gymkhana Viral Web Film." The result was more than 10 million views on KenBlockRacing.com, 4 million views on YouTube and many more on other video sites since the clip was posted in November 2008. Only 15 million views to go before they catch up to that damn sneezing panda.

SNL Digital Short: I'm On a Boat

Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island boys have returned again with another Saturday Night Live Digital Short. This one is entitled "I'm On a Boat" and while I think it's funny I don't think its anywhere near their previous work (Here & Here).

You can go pick up Incredibad which is the new album from The Lonely Island, it came out yesterday.

Beer Bottle Dominos

From what I can gather from the YouTube page, this video comes to us all the way from Denmark. Apparently the Danes like making Rube Goldberg machines using beer and beer accessories. Since I can't speak Danish there's no point in me trying to decipher the video info. Instead I'll go with this:

"This video is a paradox. You'd have to drink a lot of beer to get all those bottles. You'd have to drink a lot of beer to want to build this. You'd have to be totally sober to pull it off."

I Just Don't Get It

I must be missing something. Why the hell has the video below been the most viral video on the internet the last few days? I just don't get it. Wow a kid goes to the dentist and is out of it after...OMG STOP THE PRESSES AND CHECK YOUTUBE! I seriously do not think this is funny at all. I was waiting the whole video for something cool to happen then it just ended. Precious moments of my life are gone. Why am I even posting it?

Video Info

This is my 7 year old son who had an extra tooth removed last summer, 2008. I had the camera because he was so nervous before I wanted him to see before and after.

He was so out of it after, I had to carry him out of the office. The staff was laughing and I had tears it was so funny.

He is doing fine now and the teeth are great.

UPDATE

I found some dance remix video (geez those things are everywhere now) and it's mildly entertaining. Still not very funny but better than the original.

Evolution of Dance 2....the sequel

Like all great things (ie Home Alone & Bring It On) the sequel never lives up to the original. The most viewed video in the history of YouTube, the Evolution of Dance performed by comedian Judson Laipply finally has its sequel. Creating a sequel to a video that has been viewed over 100 million times is no easy feat and the 2nd one isn't bad, but it also doesn't have that something special the first one had. The video is doing well so far, with over 1 million views in just over a day but we will see if it has the staying power to challenge its predecessor.
