Just a simple edit of us having fun in the massive amounts of snow we had during last week’s shortskitrip. GoPro2 making a difference in low light conditions and general contrast.
Best watched full screen…
Now waiting on Kenson’s material ;)

30 seconds of advertising of a Mercedes passing by…euhm …through…and a whole lot of postproduction. Simple idea, very nice execution.

You see the surfers getting sucked in, the hole becomes darker. They’re surrounded by a fortress of water that is going to hurl you over a sharp reef. But hey: it’s on film in slowmotion. Their grandkids will love it!

I love this concept: 3D print the complex parts, use “standard” carbon tubes to connect. It’s not that beautiful, but the possibilities are endless.
What if you didn’t glued them…but screwed them together. Could I transform a Race bike to a stronger Mountainbike?

“The surf at Peahi, aka “Jaws”, is considered the worlds biggest and most dangerous and until recently has been considered impossible to catch and ride without the use of a jet ski ‘tow-in’ and foot straps.”
The nice part of it: the larger the wave the more he raises for the Breast Cancer Fundation Australia. So he rides big waves and takes care of australian breasts. Give that man a statue!
