Director Brooks Reynolds has put together a stunning slow motion video called 'Vis Viva' that features a couple of guys performing [BMX stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aan-architects) in a dark alleyway, while several [fireworks go off](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-foil) all around them. The video has a very mellow feel and can put almost any viewer into a dream-like state.

Needless to say, these are extremely [dangerous stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrill-seeker-mega-lift-mascara) (I think there was a few times in the video where I could see some of the stuntmens nearly getting hit by those fireballs).

The best part in the video (for me) has to be when one of the riders grinds a rail on the wall while having a firework go off in his spokes and and several directed at his body. The riders in the video were Lee Dennis, Brad Hill and Josh Lichti.
