Extreme sports videos?

Asked by metadog (378points) December 28th, 2011

Hi! I have this idea where I could load my tablet with some extreme sports videos with some good pumping music, prop it up on my exercise machine and blast for a half hour while looking at some crazy stuff. Much better than staring at the Food Network like everyone else in my gym. The Food Network! Seriously. Working out while looking at food. Unbelievable.

Any ideas? Any video suggestions? Is there anything like this already out there? Surfing, skiing, BMX, hang gliding, maybe some “point of view” stuff like I am looking through the athlete’s eyes. Martial arts, free running, skydiving… Crazy high energy stuff. Thoughts?

I’ve always been a fan of mountain biking, so I watch extreme mountain biking videos shot from a helmet camera, so it’s in from the biker’s POV. Just go to YouTube and search for “extreme mountain biking” if you’re interested. Find a video that’s in high resolution, then it’ll look more realistic. Some of them are pretty amazing- jumps, dives, cliff falls, narrow paths, near misses, high speeds, dips, humps, bridges, gaps…all adrenaline pumping stuff.

My answer may be biased since I bike, but you seem open to any suggestions. It sure beats watching how to cook roast beef anyday.
