“Apocalypse Later, Surf Now” is a dark, gritty short featuring a group of surfers that choose to ride waves as the world around them erupts in a futuristic battle.

Here’s a wild video to help kill two minutes of your workday. I won’t even pretend to say I understand what’s going on here other than the obvious—that this is pure, unbridled awesomeness.

Check out the crazy transformer Russian bike in the video above (if you’re running short on time, skip to :38). It’s pretty dang cool. While tallbikes always seem to be more dangerous in an urban setting than their shorter brethren, this guy decided he wanted the choice of riding high… Read the rest

From Iggy: (One, two, three… fail.)
