A lovely 20 minutes of new school skiing. One of those videos that has some nice music, different camera angles and a vibe that makes it more interesting than the average ski movies that are just a collection of tricks.

Very cool. On that subject I assume everyone has seen this, all a bit bonkers, and still astonishing after numerous watches.

Nice.  Only recently found that guy's youtube channel, some amazing stuff.  Whilst on with longboarding vids, is the most mindblowing I've seen (the last run from about 37:00 in particular).

F'ing brilliant. Just glorious. Thanks Steve.

I'm saving the last ride.

Some amazing wipe outs. Also some pretty good looking crags getting the fly past in these vids.

I just love it.

One confession. I wimped out of a drop in to a bowl when I was about 9, and I've never got back on that donkey, which is remarkably lame.

Top of my "project list"!

PS - to any Mods out there, can I propose a separate forum category entitled simply "The Ride"? Would cover so many other child boards.

I raised that a while ago, call it "boardsports" but got the thumbs down.

I suppose there is the chance that the "The Ride" section would be a bit like a separate site on it's own, but we do have threads already for Snowboarding, Mountain biking, Motorbikes, Surfing.. Cars (cars fucking cars ;))

Seems really awkward not putting it all together. I'd like it to be easier to share similar things. I've never surfed, but loads of people here will have some amazing things to post.

Climbing is just like any of these things, it's just that because we're mostly wimps, we have to freeze the wave to get it right  ;D

Come on mods  :2thumbsup:

Reminds me of this fascinating clip, I think first posted on here a few years ago.

I’ve seen these videos before and I’m pretty sceptical about them. I mean the guy makes ocarinas (seems that’s why he’s making viral-ready videos, to promote his business) so he has the knowledge of how to create tuned wind instruments but I just think that non-dried-out melons etc. wouldn’t be able to create blown sounds like that, being wet and pulpy inside and too bendy to resonate. The pitch of the sound he’s apparently getting from the watermelon in particular just seems off with the size of it and the sounds of him cutting up the fruit sound so much like foley recorded right next to a mic to me as well.

I’ve never tried to make instruments from fruit though so maybe I’m wrong! It’s still a pretty skilfully made video even if I’m right.

I'm pretty convinced. If this video is anything to go by, you can do pretty amazing things with fruits & veg.

Like when Leo was on Top Gear, but without the cars.

Bit daft but Tom Erik doing the ascent in 46 mins w a 12kg pack is bloody impressive compared to Kilian’s 30 mins up w nowt

Fun. I'm guessing a speedwing would be faster? Much lighter, quicker changeover, better glide ratio and not much slower in flight? Plus I would have thought the last thing you want for a BASE exit is to be in a rush...

I assume this is why they sent Kilian up the more technical route rather than the ridge, to slow him down a bit, but that guy was definitely not unfit!

There was a similar mountain biker vs. fell runner one on the BBC a few months back.

Love the vibe in the video. Friends in the woods having fun, lots of banter and riding fast. The riding isn't on the level of some 'pro' videos however this doesn't distract from the entertainment value of the segment for me. Just a shame that this local spot has now been destroyed by the council.

Travis Rice's new film Dark Matter is free to watch on Prime at the moment. only about half an hour, mostly insanely great big mountain riding footage, and not much flying to crag.

I have an old friend who is a wheelwright. I just found he'd posted this video of him making a wheel. A quiet, contemplative 34 minutes, no music and no narration. I thought some people might enjoy it. Although the only sounds are from the various tools it's worth watching with the sound up.
