The sound of this instrument is absolutely mesmerizing... And the skill of the man playing it is stunning...

From the FB post I found it on:

Beautiful kora music from The Gambia in West Africa.
The musician's name is Mafu Conteh and he's playing his own version of the song "Jarabi."

A quick search on his name, and I found this page, with more of his music...

A pretty impressive motorbike wheelie-mono by Max Biaggi:


According to a random commenter:
"he (Max Biaggi) said a gust of wind pushed him more than he wanted, but he saved it with rear brake."
 
A pretty impressive motorbike wheelie-mono by Max Biaggi:
I watched that race (never missed a 500cc race during the Mick Doohan era) and I still remember twice world champion Barry Sheene's commentary during that mono - "Gassssssssssssssssp... You don't know how close that was..."

Max Biaggi, seriously, must have 6" diamond encrusted nitride coated ceramic carbide nuts downstairs. I'm amazed he's still in 1 piece.

Disclaimer: There is someone around here that owns and rides a Hercules W2000 and I really want to talk to him, but I can't catch him on the twisties in my Rav 4. Or the Brumby. Or pretty much anything.

Yes, I've wanted one forever.

 
A less stable atmosphere might call for better aerodynamics.



Hoping he's ok.
