Bikes + Guitar Hero + Night + Way Too Much Time On Their Hands = Awesomeness (Somehow)
Holy fucking shit. Watch the video. Just watch it. Nothing I can say matters here?I mean, I can tell you that it’s a Guitar Hero World Tour song (on Hard) reimagined as a bike ride?but that does no justice to the awesome feat of these kids by creating the track, doing the effects (on time!), and then riding it, in the night, perfectly in time with the music. I kind of hope this turns out to be some Activison viral video, because if not, these kids are going to have my damn job in the next two years. I can’t ride a bike for shit, and sure as hell can’t play Guitar Hero on Hard. (Via Filmdrunk)
