All.I.Can. – JP Auclair Street Segment.

The day before I wrote about Raja Ampat, which is pretty much paradise as we know it: white sand beaches, crystal clear water, 30° in the shade & no tourists in sight … Wanderlust action to the max! But anyway, since I’m not in Raja Ampat at the moment, and the first snow fell here in Vienna today, I might as well start getting used to the fact that it’s winter! So therefore I want to share the video “JP Auclair Street Segment (from All.I.Can.)” with you. It’s a 5 min video from the award-winning 70 min film, “All.I.Can.” by Sherpas Cinema.

“All.I.Can” is a stunning exploratory essay that compares the challenges of big mountain skiing to the challenges of global climate change. Shot on 6 continents over 2 years, the world’s best skiers deliver inspirational performances while ground-breaking cinematography expands our vision of the natural world. Journey through Morocco’s majestic desert peaks, Greenland’s icy fjords, Chile’s volcanic craters, Alaskan spine walls, and more.

This segment was directed by Dave Mossop & JP Auclair, and well … it’s pretty damn awesome!

Surfing Fiji – “Fiji Vignette 3/3″.

OMG, the surf video you’re about to see is seriously one of the coolest I’ve ever seen! It was shot & edited by Sydney filmmaker Riley Blakeway and made me smile as well as daydream at the same time on this dull November day. So therefore (and otherwise of course) he did one hell of a job!

There’s als0 a “Fiji Vignette 1/3″ and “Fiji Vignette 2/3″ but this one is my personal favourite. Let me know if it’s just me, or if this video truly makes you want to dip into the ocean asap…

GoPro: Experience Zero Gravity.

Since I first heard about the GoPro camera, I knew that I needed one for my own adventures (surfing, trekking, zipping, etc.)… And well, after first watching the video below I wanted it even more! Base Jumping might not be something I’d ever dare do but it’s amazing to see what you can do with this awesome gadget!

“Experience Zero Gravity” is produced by Betty Wants In and (quote) “will hopefully provide you with the feeling and the emotion that we feel when we think about the experience of Base Jumping in the most scenic locations of the world.”

“Experience Zero Gravity” is a video with wonderful landscape shots & people who dare to go to the extreme by jumping off a cliff! Just the thought of that gives me an adrenaline rush!
