I don’t consider myself an extreme sports connoisseur, but I will be seeing this. It would be great for an under the influence IMAX night.

Amazing video. I think it is just as memory stirring to see someone play the game as it is to play it yourself.
It just takes a lot less time to get to the end if you don’t have to play it yourself.
And what better way to see it then superimposed on a park wall?
A few of my favorite things are on display in this video. Time lapse, long exposure, nice song choice. If you are going to experience a physical destination via some artificial means it might as well be an expertly shot video. It’s 4.5 minutes of my day well spent.
This is another very strong argument against Flash incorporation to the iPad. It’s a little hard to see here but the Flash player in Safari is using well over 100 percent of the CPU time (Confusing for some because a CPU with two cores is represented as a 200 percent total. Flash is using half of my processors attention at the moment, never mind what Safari is already using…).
Under HTML5, the video is sent to the GPU (in this particular case) that makes quick work of playback. So playback is smoother and I have some power to spare.
No Flash compatibility in the iPad was a letdown for me initially. However, after looking at the results of switching to HTML5 for video playback on my own home machine, it’s clear that there are some efficiency issues with Adobe’s product.
