Videos to Start The Week

Hope you all had a great weekend. I'm just getting fired up for the first full week I've had since...what...mid-December? It's gonna be a long one so I thought I'd start off the week with two cool videos. One for the bicycle enthusiast and one for you motorcycle fans.

The first is from New Year's Eve in Las Vegas. If you didn't hear, Australian Robbie Maddison broke the world record for the longest jump on a motorcycle. He went over 322 feet and seriously landed that bike. No wobble, nothing. Did he go celebrate right after? No, he does it again! Both jumps are on the video, it is fantastic to watch.

The second is from our friends at Bicycle Retailer & Industry News this morning. Here's a link to the newest Lance Armstrong commercial. I haven't seen it on television yet, but it's pretty funny. Yes, Lance being funny - I was a little surprised, too. But, it's worth the 35 seconds to watch "the warrior" in action.

Cool Video & Photos

The talented Amy Bolger did a photo shoot recently that will be part of a project benefiting the New York Bicycle Messenger Foundation and a couple of other messenger groups around the country. What is it? Here's the scoop from CycleHawk:
"A deck of cards, featuring messengers from four cities. Each city will take a suit, thirteen messengers per city"

Pretty cool concept, but that's not why I'm sharing it. Amy created a video of the photo shoot the other day. It kicks some serious butt! Check it out! You'll be glad you did!

I'm sure there will be info on the card decks when they are complete over on Cycle Hawk, too.
