While pulling in to to Grand Central Station, Adam Magyar shot high speed video of the passengers waiting to board. Slowed down, it’s amazing how clear and crisp everything is.
This video showcases 9 skaters who do some pretty uncommon tricks, all filmed in beautiful slow-motion. From a hardflip pretzel to a nollie 360 shuv underflip to a Merlin twist… these guys have got some serious skills.

This is a video I saw last week, featuring super slow motion captured by Intellectual Ventures at the 2010 Maker Faire. Though the action is super slowed down, the image quality of each millisecond is crisp and almost looks photographic. It’s a mesmerizing combination.
