I try not to repost links off of Kottke, but this video is pretty incredible.
When Kilian Martin was 10 years old, he joined a gymnastics school in Madrid, Spain. At this same time, he also found a passion for surfing, however, with the ocean over 6 hours away, being able to practice everyday was a near impossibility. So,at the age of 16, he started to skate Mini-Ramps and Street. When he turned 21, he decided to move to California, where he set out on a journey to master his skateboarding abilities. Kilian grabbed many of his freestyle tricks and adapted them to street skateboarding. Since then, he has developed his own unique style, and a level of technicality that has set him in a class of his very own.

Antics Roadshow
Banksy is at it again, this time on your tele:
The program, which aired Saturday on TV sets across the UK, is a tongue-in-cheek look at the recent history of public pranks, and its inspiration was simple. Banksy admitted, "Basically I just thought it was a good name for a TV programme and I've been working back from there."

Be a man
My favorite new comic:
Russell Peters is a Canadian comedian of Indian descent. He was estimated to earn $15 million last year. This is the first I've heard of him. Probably not the last. The bit below perfectly describes negotiating for goods in China.
