This is a awesome #tdf story about Jens Voight…

mikehudack:siminoff:bryc3:

Jens Voight wins my vote for MVP of the Tour de France this year. He had my vote early on after watching him absolutely destroy himself on some nasty climbs to put his team lead, Andy Schleck, into position to take the yellow jersey. But yesterday sealed the deal.

After having a tire blow out on a fast descent forcing a crash that would send most mortals to the hospital and out of the race he was stranded. His team cars had left him behind and his bike was torn to shreds on impact. Rather than fold it up, he was able to borrow a kids bike with old school toe clips pedals to catch up to his team car, swap to a real bike and finish the race.

Whether you’re into cycling or not, this is the kind of drive you want to embody.

Full story here.

35mm > 35 films in 2 minutes… can you spot them all?

From Vimeo:

»35mm« is a shortfilm about cinema itself. We picked 35 of our favorite movies and tried to simplifly them as far as possible. The outcome is a 2 minute journey through the history of film.
Take a close look and tell us if you’ve recognized them all!
