Ken Block ties Kimi Räikkönen!

Even though Kimi is new to rally I think it shows that Ken is pretty darn skilled.
This was shot today in Portugal.

Skating on ice.

Some Minnesota skaters grind ice.

Project X.

Project X might be the best / worst name for this project, or any for that matter. But since most of this world doesn't agree with me I guess it's a very fitting name for the endemic Americans out there who loves Nos energy drinks, Ford Mustangs, Papa Roach, NFL football, Black Flys sunglasses and X-Games.

Watch Shaun invent new pipe tricks at his private Red Bull half pipe. Did anyone say recession?

Double flips:

Since Shaun unveiled his new double flips there are 5-10 people who can do them. I'm assuming they didn't have personal pipes with foam pits. But that's usually how it goes. Someone has to be the first one, then people know it's possible and before you know it it's the norm. Just look at backflips on moto bikes and snowmobiles.

I'm betting my money on Shaun winning the olympics. But since the odds of him winning will be 1 to 1.0000002 I won't bet.

Nice clip by French Fred.

French Fred is a really good filmer/photographer from France who has made such movies as Menikmati and I also think he made the Flip video.., but I can be wrong about that one.

Anywho.., Red Bull and Color Mag gave him and a few other Canadian skaters/filmers some 16mm film and 72 hours to make a movie. Fred did his clip with a mirror theme and I really liked it.

Check out their Vancouver clip here:

Damn I wish Red Bull would give me 10 rolls of film and 72 hours to film some skating. Plus a large per diem of course.

Check out Fred´s work here, I really like his photos.

At least Shaun White isn´t that good at street skating.

I mean, he can skate vert and snowboard better than almost anyone but street skating looks to be a little tougher for him :)

Some company called Fast Company who does who knows what (I didn´t bother Googling) did this shoot with Shaun (assuming Red Bull was involved too) in NYC earlier this year.

Check out this video if you care.


And if you cared to get to this part of the post you might also want to read this looooong article about how "LA" and other marketing people are just, well... not quite with it.
