The vuvuzela seems to be limited (so far) to South African football fans. South African rugby has (so far) managed to avoid its monotonous tones. But just imagine...

I hope we get the super slo-mo for the 2011 World Cup.

Ages ago we did a couple of videos with Jedi from the ARC and our friend Sara Valesquez (a very good actress).

They are alternate comentaries of a certain quadrennial sporting event of great importance. The reason why they weren't up sooner is, well, we found it hard to find a place that would have them without removing them for infringement.

So best to watch them before they get zapped. We also have a bunch of rugby and netball alt-commentaries too if you want to waste some time.

Watch the Junior World Cup final live and free with the IRB.

It's England vs New Zealand and kick-off is 6pm (NZ time).

Step 1. Find a video on YouTube relating to your sport.

Step 2. Ignore all of the outside factors [such as; is he doing something I should easily be able to?]

Step 3. Record your own video, with your friends backing you up.

If you're looking for evidence, look no further than Keith Eliot. He's a Wide Receiver and has just signed on with the Redskins. He can jump 44 inches, vertically. Somehow, it makes him better than this guy. Who probably weighs 40kg more than Eliot.

Randy Moss and Terrel Owens can jump higher than you, Eliot. In fact, a lot of WRs can.

Birds get hit quite often in baseball, but not so much in cricket - even though seagulls are always on the blimmin' pitch in Aussie. Maybe the Wellington City Council could give Jacques Rudolph a job?

Enough said. Here's the highlights (courtesy of Rugbydump)...

After being amazed at the freerunning/parkour-antics and crazy-guys-on-bigwheels that Naly posted earlier in the week, I've been binging on crazy urban extreme sport action. Then this one turned up over at Science of Sport...

David Coiffier, a Parisian cameraman and time-lapse fanatic has uploaded an incredible showreel of super high-speed camera work. The first part seems to be the pre-game festivities at a Stade Francais game (including some players practicing kicks), followed by hockey, and then just some very cool visual experiments.

Enjoy
