Doing it for the love…

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

So many action sports people take themselves too seriously these days… To be cool you have to act cool, and often this causes a lot of these sports’ coolest people to take themselves WAY too seriously.

So it’s refreshing to stumble across a crew of guys just doing what they do for the love. For the fun… No airs, graces or pretenses. They’re just having a good time and screw everyone else. I first stumbled across Tim and Eric a month ago when a friend sent me a link to one of their videos on YouTube, so whenever a new video comes out I go check it out, have a chuckle, and marvel at the sheer creativity and planning these guys put into each little stunt.

Their version of skating is non-traditional and kinda poking fun at the seriousness and hardcore outlook of most of today’s skate industry, and I think this appeals to me as much as their actual skills. I know absolutely nothing about these dudes – who they are, where they come from or what there deal is, but their skate videos rock. Some people will call them clowns, I call them heroes. Check it out…

Google chrome I love the way this video is filmed and then put together. It is a very cool way to demonstrate the speed of Google Chrome, the visual message is very strong…you can’t get much faster than a flash of lightening or a potato exploded out of a tube!

Kate gave up a career on the runway for her job at Gorilla

Kate gave up a career on the runway for her job at Gorilla

The young Silverbacks eyed out the pretty stranger sitting in a bush not far off. Jordan sat up straighter and brushed his fur, Dorin pulled up his leaf shorts, and Barry was already making his move with a bunch of freshly picked berries. That’s right, Gorilla has been joined by a member of the much fairer,  way more civilized and leagues more sophisticated sex. All the way from England, young Kate Ashton-Rickardt (yes she really is straight out of the stately English countryside) joins us with the prestigious title of Director of Cool Sh*t. Over the next month or two, whilst she realizes that Sunny SA is a lot more fun than the UK, she will be patrolling the world of the web, searching for the coolest most cutting-edge creative media, and sharing it with you, our 7 or 8 loyal readers!

Enjoy!

Cassette Cool

Gone are the days when merely having the recognizable white buds poking out of your ears gave you the street cred you always craved. Ipod’s, in some form or another, are a pretty stock standard accessory nowadays. Yeah you can buy a million different color sleeves, covers or cases but hey, you aren’t twelve are you?

Found at the address below, this great little design says hey “I’m cool, I’m hip, I have a cassette that holds 4000 songs”
