New Zealand's Haka Dance v USA - Amazing Moment - 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup

Whoa! Even though Team USA beat New Zealand in the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain on Tuesday with a 98 to 71 score, from the looks on the players' faces of Team USA when New Zealand was doing their pre-match ritual, we'd say New Zealand was the winning team that day, lol... Oh! If you want to see them doing it with their shirts off, check out the 2nd vid below!

In April, the New Zealand rugby team added an extra element to the haka after beating England in the Hong Kong Sevens by taking off their shirts. If you missed the impressive display, relive it now:

Guy Finds His House Plumbed With Beer - full length version

Lol.  We wouldn't even know which part of the house to start drinking the beer from... but obviously it was a brilliant idea from these crazy New Zealand guys.









Me and the boys played a bit of a joke on our mate Russ. Kegs of beer have been plumbed into every tap in the house, with loads of cameras to catch the action. Took us all day to set up but it was worth it when the icy cool beer came pouring out.

Strange Pukehina Sea Creature

Another sea creature to wash up on shore? This time from New Zealand...









This strange marine creature washed up dead on Pukehina Beach in the Bay of Plenty last week after some violent storms. Can anyone identify what it is? It is has a huge head and teeth with rudimentary flippers. It seems about 9M in length but the lower part of the body is probably mainly entrails from an attack.

Meet Porter. The World's First Driving Dog.

We had this story (vid) last week on MFS-CrazyandTrue and we couldn't wait to see the end results...   It was so amazing and interesting to watch how a charity in New Zealand, the SPCA  trained these dogs over a period of time using a modified MINI Countryman.  Great job SPCA of New Zealand!  Great job doggies!







Dogs this smart deserve a home.
Every year, the SPCA need to find homes for thousands of dogs just like Porter -- dogs who have been abused, abandoned, or just forgotten. Our dogs may be a motley bunch, but they're all smart and they're all lovable. So please don't forget about them. Adopt them.
To find out more about our #drivingdogs head to www.drivingdogs.co.nz or visit www.spca.org.nz today to adopt a dog.

Alexander Polli, Tracksuit, Wingsuit Flying: Reality Of Human Flight

Lol.  It's almost like a scene out of a fantasy movie!  We can't believe this is real never mind possible.  But the vid sure proves it.  Wingsuit Flying... wingsuit diving...  it's all new to us!
Uhm.. either way, we aint brave enough to try it.  We'll let you try it first, ok?  Just kiddin'.. as you'll read below - it's only recommended for the experts!
Breathtaking scenery by-the-way, over New Zealand, Switzerland and Norway!








GoPro HD Athlete Alexander Polli wingsuit diving in New Zealand, Switzerland, and Norway. This is proximity flying with a wingsuit and proximity flying in tracking gear (tracksuit) without a wingsuit; tracking gear consists of a jacket and pants that inflate with air, which then increases push force when you move your body through the air.

Proximity flying with a wingsuit is recommended only for very trained athletes and is considered a very dangerous sport. Proximity flying in tracking gear leaves even less margin for error and requires a more specific choice of flyable lines—if you get too deep, you don't have wings to help you get out.

 

 



30 Days and 30 Nights in Queenstown, New Zealand - Trey Ratcliff

Another one for our "time lapse" files!  Awesome footages from New Zealand!

I've just moved to New Zealand, and my first 30 days and 30 nights here made a powerful impression on me. I've never done anything quite like this before, so I thought I would share what I felt with you.
I shot and edited the entire piece myself here in Queenstown, New Zealand. All of the shots are from this little fertile crescent. I get many questions about that interior shot, and that is from the Commonage Villas ( http://www.commonagevillas.com/ ). I stayed there for about a month while house-shopping, and I think it has some of the best views in Queenstown! Besides that location, every shot was less than a fifteen minute drive from my home.

WTF New Zealand

It doesn't get any easier than this for us filing this one under 'WTF', lol.   But seriously,  if New Zealand really does have one of the highest rate of suicide in the world, let's hope this campaign will change that!
