bikes and things

Hard to add much to BMX / skate videos as I’ve said before but then every now and then something comes along that blows you away. Some really nice bits in the clip below.

Seriously good.

An interesting choice of line and not one I would take but it makes for a great video and not for the faint of heart. Looks steep from the outside helicopter view and then there’s the shot from his GoPro.

Wowee.

As before, you think skating videos have been done to death and then someone adds something else and brings an amazing new take to it all.

Probably the most insane skate boarding video I’ve ever seen. Spine tinglingly good.

Only they’re airplanes queued up for landing at an airport in Singapore. They look like fireflies or orbs or even UFOs. A really nice little clip and obviously a lot of effort went into it. Nice to see the aeroplane as part of the time lapse here too rather than something which gets edited out of a couple of frames.

You’d have to agree.

Or rather the The Leadenhall Building as it’s properly know as. This timelapse stood out to me due to the variety of techniques used and obviously the amount of time that went into shooting and editing it. Some of the shots are rather unusual and they’ve used a mixture of viewpoints to show it at its best. Hopefully there’s more footage to come.

It’s far more rapid than you might think too.

Alex was over from Sweden last weekend and we met up for a quick pint in Peckham. Sure enough we got round to talking around skating, snowboard and biking videos.

He mentioned that we should watch this one, Waiting for Lightning. The trailer looks insanely good (which Emma found earlier). Can’t wait to get hold of a copy of this.

Cotic have a new little video out making a bit of a play on the 26″ vs 29″ wheels discussion that seems to be happening in the mountain biking world at present. I’m not really that bothered about the debate for now but there’s some handy riding in here and the video is beautifully shot.

Having said that this 29er does look like a LOT of fun!
