Performing simple tasks in a complex manner is what a Rube Goldberg machine is all about. Jason Paul is one of the world´s best freerunners and also a guy with a good humour. So he set-up in Hamburg together with his crew “Farang” and Red Bull the first human-powered Rube Goldberg machine. It´s not only fun watching it´s also a spectacular performance of Jason´s Freerunning skills – next level of Freerunning.

The making-of:
The members of the running club Moskva River Runners ran down their favorite places in Moscow and recorded their route on a map using Nike+.
Participants of the project: Roman Litvinov (Mujuice), Alexandra Boyarskaya-Waitt (co-organizer of the running club Nike+ in Gorky Park), Denis Agafonov (Band Pompeya –> check also our post from July 2011), Alexander “Powet” Selivanov (codered.ru), Sergey Rantsev (Studio Science Fiction).
The Nike+ application allows via GPS to monitor the results of each runner so the participants were able to visualize their message. Each of them graphically drew a letter with their 5km route, creating together the phrase WE RUN.
All hail the king! The “Baustelle” has a new regent. In the biggest session the world-famous street spot “Kulturforum” has ever seen, 50 skateboarders from 15 nations were fighting for the crown. The downhill course was certainly a skateboarder’s paradise. The Australian Shane O´Neill, came, saw and won — with an incredible combo of a nollie nosegrind at the long hubba, a perfect switchflip out of the kicker and a nollie backside heelflip at the stairs.
And here is the documentary:
Holy Moly. Andreu is going biiiiiiiiiiiiiig!
Nice edit of Sheckler´s run from the top of the Manhattan Bridge to the storied Lower East Side skate park in New York City – using the new Wi-Fi BacPac on the GoPro HD Hero2 Camera.
Kilian Martin and Brett Novak jointly created “Altered Route”, a skateboarding video that is more than just some nice tricks. Great images, an amazing edit and the emotional soundtrack lets every viewer dive deep into another dimension of skateboarding. Read the interview with Kilian and Brett here.
