I never got into parkour, I think the extreeme sports market was just a little saturated when this stuff started popping up all over the internet. But I can definitely get into this animation (does anyone know what this style of animation is called? I feel like it should have it's own name).

"Illustrated with technical pen,frame by frame. I admit it might not be the best, or the quality isn't perfect, just a shot at animating the old flip book whatever-you-call-it way. =D"

Remembering the Brooklyn Banks http://chunnel.tv/street/1645/remembering-the-brooklyn-banks/

The area under the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge, the "Brooklyn Banks" is easily one of the most legendary skate spots in the world, and next Friday it's getting shut down. The city says it will re-open in 2014, but considering how the city has handled the Banks in the past I wouldn't count on it. The city clearly doesn't understand how significant a landmark those bricks have become, this is a really sad day for skateboarding.

Here's Mike Vallely with a run down of the spots history.

Terry Richardson Toy @ Colette http://chunnel.tv/street/1603/terry-richardson-toy-colette/ <p>Ooh, <a href="http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/483455/uncleyork/165">Colette</a> has started selling the official Terry Richardson action figure, just in time for the holiday season. The Terry Toy is a collaboration between Unkle York and Tokyo Element. The toys resemblance to the iconic photographer is uncanny, they've even got him "holding a very strategically placed camera!". If you have an extra $200 lying around, then I suggest you purchase one of these for that special someone. <br /> <br /> via <a href="http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2009/10/15/terry-richardson-collectible-doll-terrytoy/terry-richardson-doll-1">Highsnobriety</a></p> diggs Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:08:22 +0100 The (Lego) Matrix http://chunnel.tv/street/1591/the-lego-matrix/

The Matrix has to be one of the most spoofed movies on the internet, this scene in particular has been done to death, but this is the first I've seen it in Lego, and I'm a big fan of Lego animation, so give it a chance.
