A few months ago I shared a post about a group of 36 skateboarders in San Francisco that created a pretty cool video. They used Freebords to make a video of what appeared to be a Tetris game as they skated downhill.

I’ll bet you’ve not seen girls jump-roping like this before in your life. They’re doing more than just jumping and spinning the rope multiple times on one jump. These girls are fantastic!
Thanks to my friend William Lehman over at Decloned for sharing the video on his blog. I’ve never heard of the Firecrackers before, but not I’m checking out their schedule so I can go see them perform at another event for half-time.

I’m not even a big hockey fan and don’t follow the sport, but this looks like a pretty amazing shot to me for sure. He picks up the puck and twirls it between his legs before launching it into the net as far as I can tell.
Oliver Wahlstrom shot the goals as part of a shoot-out goal. For all of you hockey fans out there. Tell me more about this shot. What do you think? Does the kid of serious talent or what?
