Help Needed: Short, Loud, Cool Videos?

This is just for fun, but I thought Divas might have some good ideas to share:

I'm a high school teacher, and some of my class periods are long (over an hour), some are in the afternoon, and some are both.

When we have a long class period, I like to give the kids a five-minute-or-so break to stretch, get water, etc. and just relax, so we can refocus our attention. Sometimes we do yoga, have joke or story contests, or just chat about something random. One thing the kids really like, though, is when I show a cool sports video with good music. (Somehow I ended up with a room that has a killer sound system.). The kids give me all kinds of videos, too, and it's fun to get a glimpse of what they watch and enjoy. I like to weave in some mountain biking, skiing, and whitewater videos, because it opens up a rapport with kids if we share an interest. Especially being a middle aged female history teacher, I think it helps me connect with teenage boys on a more personal, friendly level.

Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for any fun videos that you might like to share, both for my own enjoyment and maybe to show the kids. Here are some of the videos in my current stable. Thanks for any suggestions!

This is one of my favourite segments of all time from any ski movie: JP Auclair's street skiing in BC. Not particularly loud, but the music is great. My DD and DS LOVE this. It is from Sherpas' All.I.Can.

 
Here's a couple I like. Under 2 minutes each.

Little girl's first ski jump

Small child skiing too fast with the father skiing behind him frantically yelling pizza, pizza, do a pizza. He eventually has a little yard sale

Fast, loud, and under 4 min:
I loved this trailer for a ski movie called Pleasure, about 2 1/2 min:
This is low-key, under 5 min, but it would sound amazing with a good sound system:

SkiEssentials.com has a "Chairlift Chat" blog & weekly newsletter on Fridays, and there's always a video at the end of each one. That's where I got those above.

Is there a channel called 'Ski The East'? Saw this one.

Sorry didn't mean to inundate this thread. Maybe I'm excited about the coming season or something!
