An Amazing Walk On Christ The Redeemer
Pirelli’s video of the work they carried out to the statue of Christ The Redeemer earlier this year. If you’re scared of heights, caution is advised!
Watch the powerful images of workers, working at an altitude of 30 metres, as they restore the lightening damaged statue of Christ the Redeemer, one of the symbols of Rio de Janeiro.
What It’s Like To Run A 135 Mile Race
Josh is a running addict. He wakes up early four to five days a week to run. In this video he faces his greatest obstacle the Brazil 135, a 135 mile race on Path of Faith in Brazil.
Completing such a massive challenge is an incredible achievement. Josh is a real inspiration.
As some of you probably noticed from the photos from Brazil 135, I wore a GoPro camera on my head for chunks of the race.
The headstrap mount was actually pretty comfortable and did a great job both on video mode and timelapse. It didn’t do so well at night, but that’s to be expected when it’s pitch black and the camera doesn’t have a flash or light (and I couldn’t figure out how to comfortably wear both the camera and a headlamp).
I borrowed the camera from some friends at Buzzfeed and after I got home, they used the footage to put together a short video of the race with some voiceover by yours truly.
Kick Boxer Meets US Marine
Kick Boxer Meets US Marine
This video is being posted all over the internet as “Champion Bohemian Kick boxer meets U.S. Marine”. It is actually a scene from the movie Never Back Down, recorded by someone in the crowd.
Here’s the actual scene…
This particular style is Capoeira, which is a martial art hidden in a dance. Designed in Brazil by slaves who were restricted from learning self defense. The main problem with movies and Capoeira, is you wouldn’t be doing the flips and fancy stuff if it was self defense, instead you’d stay low to the ground and use sweeps and kicks.
The internet has been around for a good while now. Maybe it’s time to stop believing everything you see on it.
Living Dolls
A Brazilian TV show stages a hilarious prank where people are attacked by little living dolls.
As far as pranks go, no matter how hard the citizens of Brazil try to scare the feijoada out of their fellow countrymen and -women, they’ll never be able to top the infamous “ghost elevator” (I haven’t been able to watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory since). But “living doll” comes pretty darn close.
It’s not nearly as terrifying, but the clip does feature two of my favorite things: traumatized young children and sound effects straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. The eyes wide open squeak is a classic. The actors they hired to play the dolls are giving me some serious post-traumatic Willy Wonka disorder, though…
