This is quite an awesome hand-jig to Daft Punk’s ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’. Apparently the guy who did it has done the whole thing in one go - all one take, no editing involved (except the word trailer right at the beginning). Right at the end there’s some blurriness where he falls over but - keeps going! I didn’t look at it in slow motion to check whether he’s got it right at every moment ;).

A sport of a different kind, one I like watching … quite hilarious really

This quite funny; a clip on the fastest egg-peel I have ever seen (from bozomode, where I saw it a while ago but then forgot about it until seeing it again today).

… never heard about it before, but here it is. I’m quite fascinated by parts of Japanese culture - it certainly seems to have a penchant for the bizarre and off-beat worlds in life. That doesn’t endear to me though other parts of the Japanese soul, like the killing of whales or similar senseless brutalities. That’s another story though - in the meantime here’s a glimpse into the world of pen spinners (and currently there are 43 clips on the topic on YouTube).

This is another Bozomode find … a rather bizarre sport. But then, so is bungee jumping, I guess; or zorbing (rolling down a hill at speed inside a giant inflatable ball), elephant polo, tortoise racing (Oxford University sport!) … anyway: not sure what this one is called, but I have to admit: it looks exciting .
