Who Am I?

My photo
Daniel Lewis. Ordinary name, not such an ordinary bloke. I'm from Llanelli, and I've lived in Bath, Cardiff and have now settled in Devon and soon to be Somerset. I graduated with an honours degree in Accounting and Finance from Aberystwyth University. I played 3 years for Tarannau Aberystwyth American Football Team and now play for Somerset Wyverns (#57 and now #27). I am the defensive coordinator for Exeter Demons. I enjoy my life to the best of my ability, through family, friends and sport. I'm one of those cases of don't judge a book by its cover. I love to hit and do all the macho things you can dream of, but I'm also a domesticated professional, who loves to cook and read books. I'm a bit of a strange one, from my sense of humour to the title of this blog, as one of the rare few linebackers that can count.

5 Things I Have Watched This Week That Have Amazed Me

Here is a list of video's that you need to watch. Trust me on this, some aren't new, but you probably won't have seen them. These video's show pieces of amazing skill that were lucky enough to be filmed/captured on film. Anyways here goes.

1. Firstly is a superb bit of handling in a game of rugby (Yes, I know it's league but still)..


2. This second one is a hype video from my favourite NCAA football team the Oregon Ducks. It shows ridiculous highlights from last season as well as getting you primed for the new year. We Will Be Back.


3. Third is a video I had as favourite on YouTube a few years ago. You've probably all seen it as Ken Block is pretty prominent in the world of YouTube and Top Gear. He is also a serious badass. That good at driving cars and co-founder of DC Shoes. This video is one of his gymkhana's, they are all ridiculous but this one is my personal favourite. Enjoy.



4. Fourth is a video I discovered shortly after visiting the city it is filmed in. Sick video showing supreme skill plus a cracking tune from Band Of Horses. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Inspired Bicycles.


5. The last video on this list is one that I saw less than ten minutes ago and what really inspired me to write this blog. If you follow me on twitter you may have just seen it but I felt it needed more than just a tweet. A brilliantly filmed video, showcasing skills that we thought were just make believe from any of the Tony Hawk games. Enjoy Kilian Martin, street skater extraordinaire.


I hope these videos will inspire you to watch others by the artists. I also hope they will have amazed and interested you like they have to me. Shows the amazing capabilities of humans in the sporting world.

P.s Just for the other NCAA fans, a little video to help get you in the mood. Boise State's hype video. Only just over a minute. Big Fan.


Laters.
