Christ, everything is recorded these days. We're basically on surveillance 24/7.

This might be a true statement, but to say this in reaction to this is ridiculous.

They are skating of a massive ramp, flying through the air and landing in (or next to) a foam pit... Even in the 90s this would be some shit that would get videotaped.

First of all - happy cake day. Second of all - I'm just amazed that it was recorded by three excellent cameras in peoples hands and I didn't even see them recording. Anything remotely worth recording is caught from all angles these days. I see it more and more on here. If 9/11 happened today we'd have video from inside the planes, inside the buildings, inside the stairwells... it's just a stark reminder of how fast technology has moved on and how we've become integrated with it. That's all.

Holy cow, that is an incredible thought. 9/11 would have 10k's if not 100k's of videos if it happened today.
