It’s stuff like this that makes the Internet great.
We might be a little bit late to the party on this one – over two million hits already would suggest that that is indeed the case – but something as good as this and something that involves one of the greatest video games of all time is worth bringing to your attention even if it’s better late than never. Speed skating is a relatively entertaining pursuit as it is but two guys named Michael Shanks and Nicholas Issel have made it infinitely more amusing by making it appear like the toughest and most violent Mario Kart track since Rainbow Road, with their droll commentary providing the icing on the cake. Nice work. Video via YouTube/timtimfedExplore more on these topics:
