Red Bull – Stratos

Posted on February 9, 2012 by hydle

“The mission, Red Bull Stratos, will take renowned athlete Felix Baumgartner to at least 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space.

From there, he will attempt a stratospheric free fall jump – the longest in the history of man – and hopefully will become the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.

This is a mission to overcome limits which have existed for almost fifty years, ever since the heroic achievement of the young US Air Force test pilot, Joe Kittinger, with his 1960 Excelsior mission.

Red Bull Stratos will attempt to make history and deliver valuable learnings for medical and scientific advancement that will aid the exploration of space in future years.”

[YouTube] <— 33,900 PIPA and SOPA are getting dangerous. Huge influx of these videos and information coming at everyone this week trying to educate and inform us on yet another problem with our lack of congress. Wikipedia even removed themselves from the internet yesterday… just to make a point.

Kelly Sildaru – Freestyle Skiing Progression

[Vimeeeeo] <— 39,000 The future of women's freeskiing just popped up in the form of 10 year old Kelly Sildaru.. And where was this facility when I was growing up?

Who wants to open a freestyle training facility like this here in Denver? We weren’t allowed to play play play like this in gymnastics as a kid. We’ll call it Scorphy Raddogs.

Welcome to the memory bank Steve, you were here before and you will forever remain. More on this from me to come at a later date... For now you can consume these. [WIRED — Steven Levy]

Las Vegas – Steven McCann is the Man

Posted on October 19, 2011 by hydle

[YouTubular]

This is a complete Las Vegas recap… all wrapped into one video.

If you watch the triple whip hit / fall / crash Steven McCann took on the run previous to this — it will blow your mind that he had the balls to get back up and compete for the win.

If you Brad Jay breakdown the scenario of the BMX Vert Finals you would understand that if Stevie McCann pulls of this win he would also win the overall Dew Cup… which was lost by just two (2) points to the unstoppable 7 Dew Cup BMX Vert champion Jamie Bestwick.

This should make for a very interesting 2012 season.

Hugh MacLeod — In Memoriam of Steve Jobs

Posted on October 7, 2011 by hydle

I remember when the first time I saw the TV ad, back when it first came out.

It changed my life.

It was the first commercial I’d ever seen in my life, that actually spoke to me, my true self, and not just to, like pretty much EVERY SINGLE OTHER COMMERCIAL out there, whatever short-term, trivial needs I had going on that day.

It was then I knew that I wasn’t just one of the crazy ones, but that it was also IMPERATIVE to actually be one of the crazy ones. That my life and soul demanded it.

It’s not what Steve Jobs created in his his brief but incandescent life- the computers, iPods, iPhones etc etc- that isn’t the big story.

And what we created with his his products, that isn’t the big story, either.

The big story is what Steve helped us believe about ourselves. By putting his balls on the line, again and again, he made it easier for us to do the same.

And so we did.

Thank you, Steve. You will be missed. Of course you frickin’ will…

[YouTubeUlar] <— 116,373 Overall I would give this video a fail coming from GoPro, I know they can do better. It is a little crazy and definitely helps understand the perspective of Jeb Corliss and his dreams. Feel free to scan to 7:15 and watch from their if you don't have to 10 minutes to consume it all. Ouch. Inspire. Be Crazy. GoPro.

“Super cool buddies who hopefully love me enough to pimp! As you may know, my 9th full time job is making movies about crazy people. The new trailer for my next crazy people movie is done and we are trying to get a buzz on it.

Greatly appreciate it if you could watch it and if you are so inclined forward it around, post on facebook, tweet, etc.”

Anything you can do to get people to check it out or forward it around, comment on it, etc….greatly appreciated!

A few things before you watch from questions I have gotten from others:

The unicyclist is on the edge of a 2500 foot cliff… his tire is a couple inches

Simon Dumont travels about 200 feet in the air and reaches an apex of about 100 feet high in the air before touchdown on ice

The cliff the ski jumper front flips is 210 feet high

The guy jumping over the road is coming from about 100 feet in the air or like jumping off a 10 story building over a road

The song is the new single from the band Bush…thank you Gavin!

Thx much in advance and don’t try this at home!

Thanks Steve
