Perfect Extreme Driving, on four wheels, anyway...

I am taking a chance here, that my friends on Blogit will tolerate my love of extreme motorsports, and not condemn me for it, as some of my family do. All the women in my life (wife, mother, etc.) tell me that I should stop doing such things, as a 62-year-old man. I am in my 60's, but still acting... Sign in to see full entry.

Intense Beauty...Bellagio Fountains...For Free!

I don't know why I did not think of this earlier, for this blog..... it took a visit to Wiley John's blog to get the proper memory neurons to fire. This blog is about things that "work", people doing and building things that are exceptional, beautiful, and awe-inspiring, and the Fountains of... Sign in to see full entry.

Mountain Bike Classic

This video was done in 2010, it has been a favorite of mine for years, so I guess that makes it a 'classic', plus it has over 10 million views..... I love the energy, the expertise, the mood, the music "c'mon lovers, let's do this right"..... I wonder what these Canadian kids are doing today: Sign in to see full entry.

Badminton... the ultimate ironic sport

I love the game of badminton, though I rarely get to play it. It is a game of irony. No matter how hard you hit the gamecock, it slows down very rapidly, because it is very light and feathery. So the harder you hit it, the quicker it slows down, and the more difficult it is for the opponent to track... Sign in to see full entry.

Best Wingsuit Flight

You can fly like Superman..... as long as you are flying downhill, LOL. I guess it is more like a flying squirrel. Seriously, these brave flyers are capturing and living the dream of humanity, to fly like birds in the sky. I have been watching this sport for a few years, and this is the most...

A Slow Old Guy In Front... Hey, That's Me!

This was not a planned video, at least not by me. At the start of the video, I am the one who is trying to get someone else to go first, but they waved me on, so I went. I didn't even know that the guy with the camera was behind me until later. But this gives you an idea of what I have been doing... Sign in to see full entry.

The Best Bicycle Rider In The World

He is a cat in a human body..... Danny MacAskill. I think he is the best in the world. I have been watching him for several years, and he just keeps getting better and better. This is a fun video, even if you don't ride bicycles. Stick with it until after the bike show, when they go riding on the... Sign in to see full entry.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS Video 2

Here is a video that shows 4 different houses and 6 different songs. This is the best of this year's crop, that I could find. They have some actual Christmas songs (getting harder to find these days, many of them play pop, rock-n-roll, heavy metal). These are all beautiful and awe-inspiring. I love...
