I’m going on record that I’d rather take it down there than the faceplants in last week’s Wipeout Wednesday, but not by much.
From Barry: (And he thought he was home free…)
From Jackson: (We didn’t know he could do the splits.)

This video will make you smile and probably laugh, too. It may also make you feel like a totally unskilled human and/or dog trainer because these guys are smart and talented to boot.

This video is totally self-explanatory and we love the way it’s played out so that it takes about 1:23 to realize what the purpose might be, with a good two minutes thereafter that quite eloquently clear any questions right up.
Let’s just say if you’ve ever wondered what happens to… Read the rest
The first scene of this beautiful short film looks like it was plucked from Where the Wild Things Are… Read the rest–after the wild things were replaced with these bad-ass women and before they started “carving down the mountain” with ease and style.

This short documentary is just nine minutes long, but it packs a big punch in that short amount of time. Skateistan: To Live and Skate in Kabul… Read the rest is not only beautifully shot, it’s also insightful and heart-wrenching. It brings us into the lives of children living in Afghanistan–and shows us
Most full-grown humans can’t skate this well. But this six-year-old kid, missing front teeth and all, can skate better than most people out there. Maybe it’s because of his low center of gravity, maybe it’s just in his blood, but this kid is one hell of a skater at an… Read the rest
