21 Levels of Skateboarding
This video is amazing. Tony Hawk goes through what he considers the 21 levels of skateboarding difficulty, starting with the easiest trick and ending with a trick that no one has pulled off yet (well, watch the video). It’s fascinating because of the slow motion views showing how his feet are manipulating the board in the air.
And of course when he gets to the crazy ramp tricks it’s even better. He describes learning the 900 (level 17) at the 16:45 mark. And they don’t just show him nailing it, they show the many falls…
I’ve broken my rib on it, I’ve broken my ego many times trying to make it happen. I had been trying 900s for about ten years before I actually made one.
Ten years!

Uffington White Horse
This is crazy, A 3,000 year tradition of maintaining a white chalk figure really only visible from above.
It’s chalking day, a cleaning ritual that has happened here regularly for three millennia. Hammers, buckets of chalk and kneepads are handed out and everyone is allocated an area. The chalkers kneel and smash the chalk to a paste, whitening the stony pathways in the grass inch by inch. “It’s the world’s largest coloring between the lines,” says George Buce, one of the participants.

About 47% of the country is unoccupied.
