skateboarding...
man... i'm getting the 'wish i could still do this' itch. i'd probably be nowhere near as good as any of these guys, so watch them instead.
Natas Kaupas in Wheels of Fire - 1987 Natas Kaupas is the inventor of the Natas Spin (where one spins on top of a fire hydrant or similar object).
Natas Kaupas in Streets of Fire - 1989 (i've had the song in this one - Firehouse's "Brave Captain" - stuck in my head for a little while now, so i had to find it and watch it)
Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song - Round 1 - 1997
Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song - Round 2 - 1999
Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song - Almost: Round 3 - 2004
now, as anyone who knows me can attest, i think Rodney Mullen is fucking awesome. however, so is Daewon Song. they're both capable of incredible feats on a skateboard. picking one as a 'victor' is, for me, impossible. also, there are other skaters on the 'Round 1', 'Round 2', and 'Almost: Round 3' videos. World Industries, Blind, Deca, Almost, and a couple other companies. can't remember 'em all right now. (by the way, it wasn't really a 'competition' - the two are friends and were just making a series of videos for their companies, and used the competition idea to jazz it up a bit.)
