Mind blowing animatronics

I had no idea they could do this, thought it was all really good CGI. Much better work than I've ever seen from any robotics lab trying to emulate animals and movements. This should be very applicable to future androids. My guess is it will be used for sexbots first :)

NASA astronauts performing gymnastics aboard Skylab

Skylab had a much wider room than the ISS has which allowed the astronauts to do all these maneuvers. First part is from the great documentary When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions

How does he sit down with balls that big?

Also some helmet cam footage of Danny in a different downhill race, the speed is terrifying.

GLOWSTICKS!!1!

Epic indoor skydiving

The sequel of the bird in the forrest

Swimming Pool

Today I learned about Tumbling

Why is this not a standard olympic event?

Making of Inception corridor & zero-gravity sequences

If you haven't seen the movie yet I would skip this, and watch the fucking movie already :)

So awesome that no CGI was used in these shots.

Downhill Mountainbiking

Dig a small trench, release a river, surf on a standing wave

Today we went to Waimea beach and got to watch something cool. The beach sits at the base of a valley which has a small stream running through it. Due to wave action, sand gets pushed up into a large hill in front of the stream each winter. This creates a natural dam that the stream water collects behind for months which is about 20 feet above the level of the ocean on the other side of the sand berm. Every year some one digs a trench through the sand releasing millions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean. This produces a standing wave which is perfect for body boarding and surfing on. When we first walked up these kids had just a trickle of water moving through a trench about a foot wide they had been digging for quite a while. Within 20 minutes it had turned into a roaring torrent. It was amazing to watch how fast it grew and ate away the banks. It all lasted about an hour before the water slowed down but it was fun watching the action.

Backwards?

These guys made a full show for the BBC which is also worth watching if you don't mind silent comedy.

Footbal ninjas

SlamBall - Basketball with trampolines

Dogeball with trampolines also looks like fun.

Awesome Freerunning video

Really great production values too.

The music is by The Glitch Mob, a group I coincidentally only recently discovered and quite enjoy. You can listen to their album freely on their official website.

Fun video for those with Acrophobia

Enjoy Kamiel, I know you like heights :P
