A really well done documentary video that is just too stupid to ignore :-)

Kris posted this in JC a couple of days ago. Funny video, though. It's a great parody of the BS people spew forth when promoting any sport.

By the way, scootching is for fools. Any real cross country snowboarder will tell you that it's all about waddling.

doh! Didn't mean to duplicate it. Here's that link:

But I posted it here because it shows how to make a good video about extreme sports that appeals to mass market. I wish they'd do one about unicycling. But alas, its up to us. I wonder what unreel sports we could come up with?

The guys in the video are from Toronto and have a bunch of videos on their site. Like extreme parenting

I like the falls in the skate park, followed by the baby crying. :)

Wow! That is totally awesome and another new sport is born! Thanks for sharing that inspirational video! I'm just so glad this came along because I've been trying the same thing on my surfboard, but it's a bit too bulky on the snow. :D

Haha, the extreme parenting video is pretty funny, too. Thanks for posting.

Cross country snowboarding still hits closer to home, though. It's good to laugh at ourselves.


Edit: Hah, that sounds awesome, Sam.
