Last night I joined some friends at RedBull HQ in Santa Monica for a screening of Danny MacAskill's RedBull project in Epecuen, Argentina. What an incredible film! Danny is currently in trials for BMX racing in the olympics but is apparently also quite the street rider. His project took him to the town of Epecuen, which had been flooded back in 1985. Only several years ago did the water subside to reveal the rubble of this humble town. Danny went there and OWNED it showcasing some serious skills, cahones, and incredible cinematic filmmaking true to RedBull's standards. Whether you're an action sports enthusiast or not, this video will truly inspire you to follow your dreams and do big things. It reminded me of why I still support action sports and why my niche in entertainment will forever be action sports. Take a look:
I'M MAKING A DOCUMENTARY!

But my team and I can't make this documentary without your help! The narrative on actio
