STEVE BLAKE LOOKS LIKE STRONGMAD

Can’t put my finger on it, but Steve Blake has always reminded me of Strongmad (of the Strong bad emails). Is it just me?…
Evolution of Sport

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m into most action sports, however these people have taken the not-so-traditional sports and gone ballistic!
Parkour is just about the most ridiculously badass sport I’ve ever seen, and this first video is EASILY the best freerunner video on youtube! Check out the vids and let me know what you think!
Mike Tyson is fascinating
by Brian Baldwin on May.20, 2009, under Movies, sports, youtube
We’re talking about one of the most famous professional athletes of all time! Forget boxing, this guy was bigger than his sport the day he stepped into the ring. He’s had video games, actress wives, more money that Bill Gates, and somehow lost it all… AND HE’S STILL FAMOUS! The guy was convicted of RAPE, and he’s STILL FAMOUS!!
James Toback even recently produced and edited an award winning documentary on Mike! And we’re not just talking the frickin “Albuquerque City Fest”, it won at CANNES!
Say what you want about him, but the guy is a true warrior. And I’m not talking in the sense of like when a football player is being interviewed after a big win and is all, *breathing hard into the mic* “it’s a war out there! We were all soldiers and fought through the muck for this win!” I’m talking in the sense that if this guy was on his own in wilderness, he’s have the bears working for him gathering salmon and berries while squirrels cool him with thatch fans. Well done Mike, this one’s to you!
Thule Trail

Raise your hand if you’ve never played the old 8 bit Oregon Trail game…. No one…? Exactly! We all played that game in elementary school!! Well now the Swedish roof rack company, Thule, has brought back a piece of nostalgia! The objective is to get from Chicago to a music fest in California without showing up early or breaking down. I was penalized 500 points (!!!) for arriving early, but at least I made it… Only got like 1100 points though.. Make sure to talk to people along the way and see the sights! CLICK TO PLAY
reckless abandon

Really not sure why, but I think this video is hilarious. It pretty much sums up the Japanese approach to television programming. I also love the look on the guys face before he begins jumping, SHEER TERROR! Nevertheless, with family pride on the line he decides to throw caution to the wind and banzai!
