Good morning, SuperForest!

Back in December I wrote a post about Bike Hero, a viral video in which a group of youngsters created a real-life version of a video game most only experience through a console and a television set.  The creativity and the hard work that went behind creating it was something beyond words. So this morning, I was doubly excited to find another similar video to (dare I say) match it’s awesomeness.

In the streets of San Francisco, 36 freeboarders (as if freeboarding isn’t awesome enough) got together to create a “physical graphics” version of Tetris! Check it out:

Love it! Those 36 skaters take the word “amazing” to gravity defying heights. And if you are anything like I was 20 minutes ago and are wondering what freeboarding is, this video does a fine job of explaining it all for you.

Have a splendid day!

The sheer amount of Lego involved/inspired videos out there is stunning, but I have yet to see one that matches the brilliance of this one. Created by Rymdreglage, this video took somewhere around 1500 hours of moving legobricks and taking photos of them.

Behold, 8-Bit Trip:

Stop Motion videos plus funky chip tune music combined to celebrate classic video games?! And there you were thinking your weekend couldn’t get any better.

Love!
