Found this skateboarding video on Vimeo, which happens to be one of my favorite video hosting websites for its HD video file size capabilities. Vimeo's general reach isn't as great as YouTube. But its branding capabilities through its pro accounts is fashionable for marketers looking for a professional social video platform. This skateboarding video features a testicular torture test that takes place on the ski slopes. Skateboarders negotiate rail slides and grinds during during half time of a Canadian snowboard competition.
The setting is cold, slick, wet and icy. Add the frenzy of the zealous action sports crowd and the glory-addicted skateboarders enter the realm of unreasonable sacrifice in pursuit of hardcore fame. A few skaters perform the splits on the rail and earn themselves cringes from the crowd and an ancillary list of long term physical complications.
