Winter Sessions

It's hard to place the appreciation of who is pushing the envelope of extreme sports at the moment. On one hand you have people like Rob Dyrdek and Kelly Slater with their Street League and Rebel Tour respectively, and on the other you've got Red Bull, throwing some serious events like the X-Fighters and No Limits contests. All of these ae promoting tatted up dudes to go bigger and harder, which is awesome. But is it necessary? No matter how hard they go, no matter how many feet Travis Pastrana jumps in his rally car, a well made video with crisp shooting, soundtrack choice, and heart will always win. On opposite ends of the spectrum, Endless Summer II and Modern Collectve, stylistically they look amazing, and with a story/soundtrack to boot. At the end of the day we're always going to sit back down and watch the enduring favourites over Fuel TV anyway. Thats why I was so chuffed when I saw this (even though Red Bull do have their finger in it), it takes the same old shit and makes you say 'wow' again. Like that time I bought the underwear where your junk becomes the trunk of the elephant.

"Hey baby I got a surprise for you"

"A sexy surprise?"

*whips off pants and makes an elephant noise*

Sigh *rubs bridge of nose*



Pretty cool huh?! Pun intended... and executed. I'm out
