Slow motion surfing on big ass waves

aaron cohen — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:40:36 +0000

This is Chris Bryan's latest video. This, more than other slow motion surfing videos shot on a Phantom, scared the shit out of me. There's something so menacing about waves so big moving so slowly. Good use of M83 on the soundtrack.

This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.
Kelly Slater described the day by saying "witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people's lives all day long, it's life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life."

LCD Soundsystem’s SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS trailer

aaron cohen — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:36:01 +0000

Well, I'd watch this twice. Sounds like Chuck Klosterman doing the interviewing.

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event 'a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again.' SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace

Mountain biking in the snow

aaron cohen — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:10:16 +0000

This is kind of nutso and reminds me of the 'Craziest possible mountain biking video Kottke posted a couple a couple weeks ago...except this is in the SNOW. There's only a few of the harrowing cliffs, but still.

Filmed at the end of November 2010 somewhere in Bavaria. Riders are Max Schumann and Maxi Dickerhoff. Snow cover was about 50 or 60cm. With hikers trampling down the snow and making a trail then some good riding is still possible. Took us 2hrs of pushing and carrying to get to the trail head but, once again, the up hill grunt was well worth it. Considering these guys were running with normal downhill tyres (without spikes) then this is some of the fastest mountain trail snow riding I have seen. Some sections of the trail are pretty exposed too, kiss your ass good bye if you fuck up.

Rodney Mullen 1984

This old school skate video from 1984, featuring Rodney Mullen, is so bad ass. I love it.

Incidentally, 1984 was an awesome year in pop culture and here are some folks talking about it:

Happy birthday, Bo Jackson

aaron cohen — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:58:19 +0000

Today is Bo Jackson's 49th birthday, so I thought I'd watch a Bo Jackson video and then I watched about 10. The first video shocked me because I'm never ready for how big he is or how fast. And he was both.

Here are some videos and articles including football Bo, baseball Bo, Letterman Bo, Sesame St Bo, ect. The articles are interspersed with the videos. Make sure to watch the Tecmo Bo.

First mention of Bo in SI from 1982

The tackle that ended his career

How to make scones (sexy)

I've never liked scones, the muffin's bastard brother. Steve's video about scones, however, I love.

His coffee video isn't bad either.

New way to see surfing

aaron cohen — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:01:43 +0000

I've been posting a lot of surfing videos lately, considering I don't like going in the ocean. But this is cool. The crazies at Rip Curl and Time Slice Films built an array of 52 DSLR cameras on a scaffolding in a wave pool in Malaysia.

And then when they wanted more, they built a rig of 30 Go Pro cameras so that someone could hold it on the back of a jet ski.

This is remarkable just for the narration. Give this guy a contract. Watch this if you like good stuff. He sounds like Christopher Walken from time to time.
