Waiting for Lighting is a new documentary about Danny Way and his superhuman progression and determination. If you’ve ever seen one of his video parts (especially the mega ramp ones), you know what I’m talking about. I can’t wait to see it. And since when does Rodney Mullen have a gold tooth?

One of my favorite Working Proof artists, Stacey Rozich did the character/set design for the Fleet Foxes video of The Shrine / An Argument. It’s pretty epic.

You know that a video is hyped when it has an announcement for a trailer. But there is only one kind of video that lives up to its billing that those are the girl/chocolate/lakai videos. Ty Evans and Spike Jonze always make stuff look so next level.

I need to get one of those dolly arm rigs for my videos of our little one…

Yes. I don’t get to play much xbox anymore now that we have a little noodle around the house. But I do intend to get a copy of MW3 sooner or later.

You’ve got to have some serious balls to go for these cliff jumps. The video is from sponsor Casio for the G-Shock Mudman, but I don’t think the watch has any real bearing on what they are doing.

Between two trees, seriously fun. Between two buildings, seriously crazy. But it looks like they are having fun jumping up and down on that slackline. Not quite the same as Philip Petit, but still amazing. More info at Sebastian Montaz-Rosset.

A neat little TED talk by Robert Hammond, co-founder of Friends of The High Line on how they got it together to repurpose the rail line into an entirely unique elevated park in NYC. Haven’t seen the new section yet, but looking forward to it.

An incredible video. The first I ever saw of Salba was he and his brother skating the Baldy Pipeline on SK8tv way way back in the day.

If you take Jack Horner’s word for it, a chicken is already classified as an ‘avian dinosaur’ vs. a velociraptor, which is a ‘non-avian dinosaur’. He and others are still working on genetic strategies to express genes that are ancestral traits no longer expressed – hands/claws instead of wings, long tails, etc. I’m for it. Who wouldn’t want a pet Chickenosaurus?

More amazing NYC time lapse from Mindrelic aka Josh Owens. I love how some of the shots track out of buildings and over rooftops.
