BoardRideTv

Posted on August 31, 2007 Under Life

Here’s a good way to get my attention: show a guy on a surfboard getting towed by a Jet Ski right into the teeth of a giant effin’ wave, then continuing to ride that wave against all odds for another thirty seconds as about a ton of water splashes on his face. Did I mention that this is a really goddamned big wave? Remember that Powerade commercial where (with the help of some special effects) LeBron makes four full-court shots in a row? This video is that ill, and I think it’s totally real.

BoardRideTv, which hosts the video I’m talking about on its homepage, is Youtube for thrill seekers. Go to the snowboarding channel and you see a bunch of kids just absolutely killing it on the mountain, furthermore I’ve actually never seen anything as fun-looking as some of the videos up in the body boarding section. Of course, if you search Youtube for snowboarding you’ll probably find more content, but BoardRideTv is a place for extreme sports denizens to impress their own, not the masses. As Alec Baldwin would say, “Go and do likewise, gents.”
