STATIC: The Buried Life


The idea is as simple as it gets: Four guys. One question. What do you want to do before you die?

This question steers the paths of four dudes from Victoria, Canada (and you know they're awesome if they're from Canada) on a mission to cross off everything on their list of 100 things to do before they die. For everything they do on their list, they find a stranger and help them cross something off their own list.


After a good friend of theirs passed away during college, the boys realized that life is too short. They hopped on their purple fixer-upper of a tour bus Penelope and drove across North America, documenting their adventures on Youtube as they crossed items off their list. What was supposed to be a two-week road trip ended up being, well, life. The guys were offered a TV show by MTV.

Some of my favorites on their list:
#24 go to a rock concert in all leather (completed)
#39 stand under a plane while it lands(completed)
# 78 fall in love
# 100 go to space
What once started as a Youtube documentary series is now not only on TV but viral in every way possible. Check it out:

If they really like your post they could end up helping you cross something off your own list.
