De Flandriens van het veld in Koksijde (0)

Het veldrijden moet, wellicht naast het vrouwentennis, één van de enige sporten zijn waar Belgen echt in uitblinken. Koksijde zal dat geweten hebben tijdens het laatste wereldkampioenschap. De aan waarschijnlijkheid grenzende zekerheid op een nationale overwinning werkte als een rode lap op een stier en trok mensen (+ 68 000) van heinde en verre aan om een glimps op te vangen van de Flandriens van het veld.

Burn productions: Never Extinguish & Human Machines (0)

As an energy drink these days, it seems you just have to produce video content to keep it up. After years of Red Bull's domination in extreme sports video's, competitor Burn is now catching up with some skateboarding and snowboarding video's as well. Mind you, we're talking about beauties like "Human Machines" and "Never Extinguish", so you don't hear us complaining. Good storytelling, although I'll stick to plain Coke's.







Probably more to come on http://www.youtube.com/burn

Graffiti wars (0)

Channel 4 made this great programme about the graffiti wars going on between graffiti and street art artists.


"In London over the past 18 months the tension between the camps has played out in a battle of spray cans between freehand graffiti writer King Robbo and his nemesis, the stencil-using street artist Banksy.

The graffiti war between the two men began in the early 90s but was re-ignited by what was widely seen as an unforgiveable transgression of strict graffiti rules by Banksy.

It was an act that pulled 80s legend King Robbo out of retirement to retaliate in the place where it all began, the streets.

The film goes behind enemy lines as the war escalates, until tragic and unforeseen circumstances bring about an unexpected ceasefire."
