Great Alternative Sport Videos

Alternative Sports?  I’m not even sure that’s what I would call them, but I hate calling them extreme sports.  Either way, I felt compelled to share some of my favorite online clips.  This first is the intro from Fully Flared, a skate video from Lakai, and the project was a collaboration of Spike Jonze, Ty Evans, and Cory Weincheque.  M83 on the tunes and slo-mo splodies on the screen.

Next is a little re-imagining of the above video.  This time, music by UNKLE, with a change in the setups and timing.

Changing gears (oh man, I’m great at puns), we have sweet little diddy called Roam. This is a mountain biking movie from The Collective and although short, it features some of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen on a bike.  Someone climbs a tree on a mountain bike for crying out loud.  Plus it has RJD2 and other great tunes.

Finally, a great video showing you how crazy downhill longboarders are. Originally found through Kitsune Noir, this video is quite insane. Seeing skateboarders pass cars is trippy.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

    It's just stupid. The skateboarding and mountain biking are one thing. But the longboarding: It's just stupid. I love it. If you want to see some sweet skiing check out www.tetongravityresearch.com.

    I saw the Austin premiere of Fully Flared a couple years ago; alternative sports are alive and well in the ATX
  • yeah, the downhill long boarding and street luge just scare the crap out of me.
