Ferrari Races A Rocket Bike (Video)
November 12, 2014
So, yeah. CRAZY! A bike takes the starting line to race a Ferrari. Okay, a rocket bike… okay a record-breaking 400+ mile-per-hour running, track-slaying… awww f#ck it… let’s get to the… er… race (if we can even call it that).
On November 7th of 2014, on the famous Circuit Paul Ricard located at Le Castellet in South of France, François Gissy has reached an incredible speed of 333 km/h on the rocket-propelled bicycle designed by his friend Arnold Neracher. More than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped bicycle, this is amazing, and crazy! Who thought that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds?
Straight jetted and smoked dat azz. HA!

Marijuana Stories: Meet The Real Nancy Botwin From ‘Weeds’ (Video)
November 11, 2014
Well, well… Dr. Dina (former D.A.R.E. kid, ha!)… has been taking care of her patients with recommendations of medical marijuana – patients like Snoop Dogg – waaaaay before Showtime put out the show ‘Weeds.’
‘Weeds,’ Showtime’s highest-rated television show, is the story of a single mom who starts an illegal weed business to provide for her family. With marijuana now being largely legal in Oregon, Alaska, Colorado, and Washington, Showtime’s crime sitcom no longer seems like outlandish fiction. In this episode, VICE tracks down a real-life Nancy Botwin—Dr. Dina, medical weed consultant to stars like Snoop Dogg and 2 Chainz.
Talk about art imitating life! Click play and check out the incredible story of how medical ‘Mary J’ came to spread across the area in Cali. VICE’s Gianna Toboni reports.

The Streets of Japan in 4K (Video)
November 7, 2014
So… to get dope video like this… all one would need to do is get hold of a GoPro HERO4 cam and get to shooting? Nice! Oh… looks like a trip to film Tokyo’s exotic vehicle scene would be in order, too.
As the sun goes down, Tokyo transforms to a wild and exotic playground for those who like to pour on the speed. As a method of expression, the custom vehicle scene thrives in Japan. You’ll meet some truly unique characters and get to ride along in some of the most exotic vehicles you’ve ever seen. Lamborghinis, Hayabusas, RWB Porsches, and some Kaido Racers make up a feast for the eyes on the streets of Tokyo at night.
Shot 100% on the HERO4® camera from http://GoPro.com.
100 Man Fight (The Judd Reid Story) [Trailer]
November 3, 2014
So…this is real? One man trained and took on 100 men, one at a time, for a minute-and-a-half each? That’s crazy, isn’t it. Apparently, the answer to all these questions is…
Judd Reid is the real life karate kid. As a teenager he was selected to go to Japan and train every day for 1000 days under Kyokushin Karate founder Masutatsu Oyama.
Almost 20 years later he won the WKO world heavyweight championship. His attitude was always anything is possible and never give up. Then came the invitation to attempt the 100 man kumite…
Journey to the “100 Man Fight” tells Judd’s incredible story of life long dedication to martial arts and his attempt at the 100 man kumite in the twilight of his fight career. Follow him as he prepares to take on what is considered by many martial arts elders the ultimate challenge of the spirit.
…yes! Peep the trailer above. Hey, remember that Jean Claude Van Damme movie “Bloodsport” (got that ‘kumite kumite’ song in your head now)?

Mike Tyson And Robin Williams Had The Same Drug Dealer (Video)
October 31, 2014
First of all. Robin Williams R.I.P. Now… Mike Tyson and Robin bought drugs from the same dealer? What the f#ck??!!
“This is very interesting. When I met [Robin Williams] and he said, ‘I was waiting for you…’ He started telling me about somebody I was purchasing from. I said to myself, ‘How does he know this lowlife dealer I know? They shouldn’t be in the same state…’ You go to every measure to get high. Everybody knows everybody.”
– Mike Tyson
Everybody knows everybody… and their pusher. Wowwwww. Stream to listen above.

Officially Ranked: The Top 25 Black Men’s Hairstyles
October 31, 2014
The [Caesar is the] one haircut that has never — and will never — go out of style. There were Black men with Ceasars in the 40s, the 70s, the 90s, and now. Every other cut cycles. The Ceasar is forever.
– Very Smart Brothas
Truth (even though dude above ain’t hearing it). Epic reporting on an under-appreciated urban topic. Ice Cube covered “The Barbershop” culture, and Chris Rock did the “Good Hair” movie… but there is something left to be addressed. Black men’s hairstyles have changed dramatically since before The Dramatics and will likely keep doing so beyond the next dance rap craze. But who will document the styles that made the man over the decades thus far. Don’t worry. The Brothas got you…

Scored this 45 King ‘Making The Beat’ episode for you. DJ lifestyle to the extreme. Now… you know you can record that live DJ mix to CD (or MP3 or whatever you kids have nowadays) and boom out the back of the vehicle… BUT… What if you knew a DJ cool enough to have the live mix setup in the back of the vehicle? Well, DJ Mark The 45 King did that in the coolest way. And DJ Kid Capri was more than happy to jump on the new playset and take the thing for some spins!

The Moped Gangs of London (Video)
September 30, 2014
Internet superstardom. Merchandising. Respect among pros and serious enthusiasts. Respect the riders… of mopeds! Hold your chuckles, the UK Bikelife has ’nuff respect for this special breed of Biker Boyz.
Mopeds and teenage boys have gone hand-in-hand since the 1960s. But in the last year UK BikeLife culture – where young scooter riders upload videos of themselves wheelie-ing down motorways and through industrial estates – has exploded, with the scene’s leaders picking up thousands of YouTube and Instagram followers in the process.
These British riders are beginning to receive international attention, not least from Baltimore’s notorious dirt bike club, the 12 O’Clock Boys. Although they may lack the CCs of their American counterparts, they’ve done a good job of making up for it with charisma and a dedication to the underdog of the two-wheeled world: the humble moped.
This is the UK’s version of the States’ 12 O’Clock Boys (that’s hella hardcore, if you remember our earlier post here)? Check out the VICE report on this phenomenon.

September 29, 2014
Awww so cute. “Ninja Schoolgirl” viral videos of students in Japan running/racing about town doing parkour stunts off buildings, walls, and walkways… and some ring sparring (kicking serious butt)… basically training to be able to chase down suckaz and kick their azzes wearing cute smiles and bedazzled fingernails.

Moms: The New Target Market Segment For Marijuana (Video)
September 27, 2014
“The ‘Green Crack’… That’s a real branding problem. You wanna get rid of the stigma…for moms.”
– Jessica Roake
Go for the moms. U.S. industry has pursued that marketing strategy for over a century. Exhibit: ‘soap’ operas (e.g. the ‘stories’) being produced specifically to sell SOAP to housewives back in the day. The tobacco smoking industry’s advertising included moms in the targeting mix (hell, they even included ‘doctors’ in some ads). The green industry machine had to eventually get around to talking to moms in their promotions (got to calm down eff’n ’round with these damn kids haha).
[The legal cannabis industry is] searching for ways to get moms around the country to set down their wine and light up. We travel to Denver with Jessica Roake, a mother of two from the suburbs of Washington, DC, for a mom-friendly cannabis tour. She gets blazed beyond belief in the name of market research.
Ah, VICE. This is that good good… article. Watch above.

Exotic Car Lifestyle: Sir Mix-a-Lot Shows Us How He Rolls (Video)
September 26, 2014
Our life ain’t his life, but Mix-A-Lot is happy to let us get a peek. Check out his ‘report’ on his hot ride though. 19’s in the front, 20’s in the [Baby Got] back. SICK!
In the above clip, Sir Mix-a-Lot gives us an up-close-and-personal showcase of his McLaren MP4-12C that he is “completely in love with!” It’s not the newest McLaren; but Mix said he doesn’t step up a model just to get a few new features. His whip steps are major. So, y’all can have that new new. Just don’t let him catch you on the street in less than the latest Corvette models talking that noise. ‘Cause somebody could get drowned in their hard feelings and choked by tire smoke!

2 Chainz Chows Down On The World’s Most Expensive Burger (Video)
September 25, 2014
All I want for my birthdaayyyy… is one of those BURGERS! But gaaaadamnnn 2 Chainz. For almost 300 dollars? Is it that good? You will have to tell us about it; or buy us a few. Well, he’s getting his ‘expensive taste’ on for the GQ series – Most Expensivest Sh!t – with this Le Burger Extravagant from Serendipity in New York.
Interestingly enough, this burger actually helps fund a good cause. And actually, 2 Chainz said the burger tasted so good his ‘life was changed.’ But still… it holds a Guinness World Record for being the World’s Most Expensive Burger. All that is… wow.
Joel McHale With Vodka, Guns And A Bulletproof Suit… ACTION (Video)
September 15, 2014
Bahaaaha! Remember that writeup from a while back on bulletproof clothing (here)? Maybe? Well, you definitely won’t forget this hilarious spin sitcom and talk show cutup Joel McHale puts on the fashion forward choice in attire… and his chosen beverage.
My journeys have brought me here: A strange land the locals call Canada. Where the people are polite, the bacon is round, and the menswear… is bulletproof.
And shout out to nanotechnology (the geek in me gets geeked) in the suits!
Alright let’s go to the gun range and blast the sh!t out of this thing!
And have a drink afterward. Alcohol and guns. Yeah, that’ll work out fine. Watch and be amused… and a little afraid.
