Good for: Viral videos.

Written by: Pete Thomas, Tom Morin, and crew.

Some of the videos you might find on the GrindTV blog in the course of a week include a SUPer surfing the waves behind a steamboat on the Columbia river, a Jack Russell terrier chasing a mountainbiker over singletrack, or surfer Nathan Fletcher breaking down his Teahupoo wipeout.

This is less a place to find your news fix and more a place to discover the next great video to share on facebook.
