“Just when I thought I’d seen it all, I discovered BPC and snowless skiing. It’s either the gnarliest extreme sport I’ve ever seen, the most fun anyone can have before a guaranteed trip to the hospital, or both. It’s an honor to be the soundtrack to this madness.” —Dave Grohl
“Of All People,” the 2:35 blast of sonic fury from Foo Fighters’ new album Your Favorite Toy, whose “driving rhythm and raw production capture the urgency and emotion that defined punk at its core” (PARADE), has been given an appropriately gnarly visual interpretation.
Director Alex Acy recruited Swiss extreme skiers BPC (Buldoz Project Crew) — infamous for their snowless skiing daredevilry on surfaces ranging from concrete and glass to random off-snow terrain — to visualize the album’s incendiary second song. The result is two and a half minutes of BPC skiers Flaco, Blasco Paterno Castello, Mael Bovey, Jordy, and Andrea de Angelis pushing the limits of extreme skiing while Foo Fighters pin db meters in the red.
On discovering BPC and its commitment to adapting skiing to places where it shouldn’t be possible, Acy says: “I found one of their videos on YouTube a year ago and I knew I had to meet them. We chatted a lot before figuring out how we could create something together. I was totally floored by their personalities and their way of seeing life. It takes a certain charisma to take on such stupid and dangerous stunts with style.”
