Filephile

So. seeing as i (tyler) am looking for a job, i don't have a ton to do during the day. i post resumes online on company websites. so i started organizing all the video and pictures files from Lake Powell.

So i ask you this. why is it, my favorite video clips are of anyone totally wiping out. i was organizing all the files when melissa walked in with her two brothers and the only videos i ended up showing them was the really bad crashes. we all laughed and stuff. but seriously. (okay, not too serious) why am i fascinated by ABSOLUTE failure in extreme sports. could it be men were not meant to be succesful at extreme sports. seems like most extreme sports were born from two guys that were thinking, how can i make this easier sport... harder but COOLER.

i think thats where jackass the movie comes in. it just skips the creative sport inventing and goes straight for the crashes. i think the only thing that is better than a really good crash is something that really under normal laws of physics should have been a really bad crash, but the "athlete" somehow pulls something out his rear and lands it.

like when tony hawke landed the first 1080. or the first motocross backflip. or danny way clearing the great wall of china. it should not have been done, but somehow they did it.

so without further adue (how does one spell that?) i give you my two favorite crashes. number 2 (the first one you see as you scroll down) is my brother in law joe. he got in the boat after this doosy.


and number 1 goes to marshall kinison with this face reaaranger(man i suck at spelling)

I love watching the bail sections of any skateboarding, snowboarding, biking video. I don't know why.

Ok, so I tried to find the fantasy football link and i couldn't. so i created a blog(which i will probably never use) to try to find your e-mail. When that didn't work, I just decided that I would post this and hope you would read it. So, e-mail me the info I need to sign up. Thanks! (ocsurfer24@hotmail.com)(don't laugh, i know its lame, but it was the only one available that i could think of)
