I’ve not done any new training with Mae for the past few months, but this inspires me!

Priceless! A new introduction for Firefly as a 80′s show:
And here, Simon has his own 80′s show:
It’s all in the music and the graphics!
Oh, and here’s an awesome video of Summer Glau training for the fight sequences in Serenty:
Hula hooping, from the hoop’s perspective:
Okay, I’m dizzy now!
I’ve posted amazing dressage videos before, but I don’t think I’ve ever posted any videos of the jaw-drawing performances seen in show jumping. However, since I’m just about to buy some jumps, I thought now would be an excellent time!
Here’s two videos from a “puissance” competition, which is an high-jumping elimination competition. The record is for seven feet ten inches. That’s just mind-boggling, because neither horse nor rider can see over that solid wall.
Personally, the tallest that I’ve ever jumped is four-foot fences, back when I was a teenager riding my fabulous horse “Paint.” It was fun!! In jumping the more ordinary height of three feet, the horse has leveled out by the time that his hind legs leave the ground. In jumping four-foot fences, the horse is still headed upwards as he leaves the ground. That’s a pretty awesome feeling, and I can only imagine what six or seven feet would be like!
First, here’s a video of many puissance jumps, including some minor and major failures:
Second, here’s a video with the progression of a puissance competition. I’ve seen one of these in person, and the videos just don’t do the excitement of it justice.
As for me, Lila has done a little bit of jumping, but I imagine that I’ll be training her basically from scratch, as I’ve done with her dressage work and cross-country trail riding. I love to jump, so I’m really looking forward to it!
Here’s an awesome video of an amazing stream of parkour at the newly-opened Tempest Academy in Los Angeles:
On the one hand, I’ve love to be able to do that. On the other hand, I know that if I tried, I’d fall on my head, repeatedly.
Ok Go. Rube Goldberg. Music video. What more could you ask for?
This video is from 2010, but I just saw it recently.
There’s also some background on how the video was made:
This 3rd-string quarterback from UConn can really throw the football. Holy crap:

Ten years of nearly-daily photos of a child… compressed into 85 seconds.
I love when she begins to realize that she’s being photographed.
I’m sure I’ll have Lila doing this in no time:
And here’s another amazing video with the same trainer:

More information on the trainer (in French) is here. She’s just 28 years old.
