Assortment of Random, Awesome Videos

Watch all the way to end for a complete lesson on the history of basketball and other things Canuckian:

Classified is actually one of my favorite hip hop artists.

Retallack Lodge, famous in the cat skiing world, has introduced guided mountain bike tours.

Check out this video shot on their terrain. The clip is from a longer film called Life Cycles, which if you can find it, is mind blowing, probably even more for the high-def cinematography than the riding. It was part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival last year.

You'll be singing the song in no time:

Kids still laughing....  five minutes and counting.  Can't wait for episode 3.

A must watch for sure.

Even better than the last, although completely different. Timelapse from the ISS. A few auroras in it, lots of lightning. Real cool stuff.

ya, nothing about skiing,but again, says it all.  Sorry if you were looking for a ski vid.

T.D.

And this one is just hilarious.

ADKs!!!!

^ Very cool little film. All these time-lapse nature vids owe a big debt to a 1982 film called Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance

Tell?

There really are a good number of interesting videos that are scattered across the internet and ones that would let those people who are interested with it to take part on something that goes with daily life.

And not only with the cool ones but there are also those who hit you on a spot that might render and seem as something that will be very hard to recover from.

Done. Story here.

Staying on the bike theme...

If you happened to watch the BMX event in the Olympics, and, like me, thought, "well, that is pretty cool but fundamentally silly," take a look at this:
