As part of my ongoing research into the New New Thing™ I've (at last) gotten into YouTube and have made my first few videos. OK - I guess I'll admit all this - er - research is a hell of a lot of fun!!
This one is a compilation of extreme sports from YouTube. The originals were ripped with flvconverter and it was edited with Windows Movie Maker, a brilliant little piece of software that is included with windows and includes the blown-away transition effect that I use.
The soundtrack is Breaking Benjamin, Blow me Away. The tube is at Teahupoo (Tahiti, French Polynesia) and is one of the biggest ever ridden. The human glider is from Warren Miller's "Journey" and is in Verbier, Switzerland - the glider is Loïc Jean-Albert cruising 15 ft above the snow. The train surfer is unidentified and is in Germany surfing a bullet train at 330Km/h. The skater is Bob Burnquist in his own back yard on a $250,000 ramp of his own making. The climber jumping off the cliff is the late climbing legend, Dan Osman.
That was awesome Mark!
