This is a video of a Barcelona puppeteer with a next-level control rig (check out those finger controls!) getting his frog puppet to play the piano, with absolutely stunning results. Just watch, it’s wild. And trust me, I know a thing about wild — I’ve been around the block. Both
In hold my beer news, this is a video of Scottish cyclist Danny MacAskill (previously) riding his bike across the length of a tennis net. What is he, practicing to be an extreme ball boy or something? Because that would make tennis a lot more exciting to watch. Right now

This is a video documenting Youtuber Jake Carlini’s quest to build a pair of roller blades using two kid’s bikes. He starts with the version seen above, which proves impractical and basically immobile, even after lowering the bindings and adding training wheels. He then builds a pair with each skate
