1000 FPS Flat Ground Skateboard Tricks

Uncommon skateboard tricks presented with an uncommonly high speed capture camera. The result? A pretty damn chill video to enjoy, featuring some of skateboarding's less used tricks with names like Hardflip Pretzels, Merlin Twists and my favorite, the Frontside Shuv Underflip. Love it.

A Year of Backflips

While I don't think a $100 payoff is really worth a bet that takes a whole year to complete, if I had the gymnastic ability that this dude has, I'd still take it. His dad bet him he couldn't do a backflip every single day throughout the entire 2011 year. I especially dug the GoPro shots (gee, you think we like GoPro's here at Awesome-Robo?). The video is essentially the same thing over and over again, but it's somehow hypnotizing.

The Whiskey Water Trick

Not sure I'd be willing to risk wasting alcohol in order to do this trick, so I'm sure glad this guy was able to.  Not that I couldn't pull it off anyway.  But damn, do I love a good science trick.  A bottle of whiskey, some old time smutty playing cards, and a badass trick.  Sounds like a good Saturday night to me.

A Bag of Impossible Tricks Made Possible

Thomas Becker and Sebastian Stahlhofen are just two normal guys -- like us, unremarkable and tragically run of the mill. However, one day they decided not to settle for mediocrity, and instead pursued a career in utterly useless, albeit impressive, parlor tricks. Beginning in 2006, their project "A Normal Day" took off as a hobby for the two gentlemen, who partake in incredible acts of patience and karmic luck. The video above is a culmination of their best work, crisply edited for added suave. Seriously, check it out, their hard work deserves to be repaid!
