JP Auclair – So Purely Played

[Vimeeeee-O] <— 6,536

No explanation needed... so purely played.

“Skiing, especially powder skiing, provides the ultimate experience of dynamic complex interrelationship between the members of a human group, the gravity of the earth, and the snow from the sky. […] One can never be bored by powder snow skiing because it is a special gift of the relationship between earth and sky. It only comes in sufficient amounts in particular places at certain times on this earth, it lasts only a limited amount of time before before sun or wind changes it. People devote their lives to it, “for the pleasure of being so purely played” by gravity and snow.”

This Black Boy Is Cold – What?

Talk about progressions in sport... coming from a gymnastics background myself, this is pretty amazing.

Say this three times fast.

Round off to your back... back handspring... back half to roundoff 1 and a half backflip... to your back <— WHAT!?

Double Full to Double Back
Triple Full
Quadruple Full
and then some Triple Full Variations

This kid is nuts - 1000% Awesome!

Red Bull — Rickie Fowler

[YouTubeUlar] <— 82,393

Randomly - given the new YouTube recommended & related video algorithms… I finally came across this video.

-or-

Maybe the phenomenal weather lately has given me the power to find golf on the internets again.

Generally… Red Bull videos are much better than these – but since it’s golf mixed with Red Bull’s uniqueness – Go for it.

Shane McConkey Trailer

“He’s the most bad ass person on the face of the earth.”
-Travis Pastrana

Looking forward to seeing this RedBull release in 2013. The more I learn about Shane McConkey the crazier and nicer this guy seems to be. To hold you off until the movie is released… party out with some G.N.A.R or this ridiculous recap from last years Pain McShlonkey Classic.

I Love Awesomeness — Overcoming Fears

[YouTubeUlar] <— 1,203,524

This I Love Awesomeness moment comes from Ryan Johnson – Thanks for the share.

4th grader to 4th grader, I’m pretty sure Kelly Sildaru could run circles around this future ski jumper – but competition isn’t what overcoming your fears is about. Personal competition with yourself… now that’s more like it.

What is the latest fear you personally have overcome?

HYDLE + BODYLAB — Begin

Life Reset Button – PUSH

18 years ago I quit gymnastics. Now that my gymnastics body has undoubtably worn off – It’s time to get back into shape and get my ass kicked a little.

Thanks to Matt D’Amico down at Body Lab – he has a program for this.

Audi R18 e-tron quattro

[YouTubeUlar] <— 12,270

“Audi’s first big motor sport program in 1981 was based on the quattro permanent four-wheel drive. After numerous championship wins and the banning of four-wheel drive in FIA circuit-based racing series for the 1998 season, a model from Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm with four driven wheels now returns to the race tracks — the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.”

Time to play hybrid at Le Mans this year – Go team.

Manuel De Los Santos

[YouTubeUlar] <— 241,195

Social Networking does work... how else would I have noticed that Boyd Easley watched this video, and then posted it for me to find.

“Manuel de los Santos is one of sport’s most inspirational figures. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, he played baseball from a young age and by 2003 was planning to turn professional. But a motorcycle accident changed his life forever when he lost his left leg above the knee.”

Excited for some golf season to be rolling around. It was 65 in Golden today, going to be the same tomorrow. Time to hit the range.

New Lines by Jokke Sommer

[YouTubeUlar] <— 213,614

This video will hit most inboxes within the week... good to see that Jokke Sommer is somehow active after Jeb Corliss grounded himself [2,176,844] earlier in the year.

Watching these two compete back and forth on the internets is like watching a fight to the death. It’s absolutely mind blowing the adrenalin rush one would receive from accomplishing some of these lines – let alone watching someone else do it.

HYDLE – Steamboat

[YouTubeUlar]

So after a massive dump in Steamboat… Drew Stachnik, Brian Goldrich and new friend Eric Bojan and I decided to rally like 12 year olds. It’s always good to visit your childhood roots.

I’ve never heard of this band “Big Gigantic” before we took a little warming hut rest in the yurt above the Pony Express and some guy popped it on the donated stereo. It is hard for me to say what their boulder following is all about, but it was good enough to edit to.

Just remember… two dudes in a hot tub – is okay – if it’s in the day.

Rock on!
