still from the Dayvan Cowboy video

"Dayvan Cowboy" is considered by many to be Boards of Canada's first mainstream single.
This song was remixed by Odd Nosdam on the Trans Canada Highway EP. It was the first remix of Boards of Canada to appear on any of their releases.
One of the tracks on the bootleg "Random 35 Tracks Tape" seems to be an early version of this song.

A video for "Dayvan Cowboy" was released as a promo DVD, included with Warpmart pre-orders of the Trans Canada Highway EP. For more information, see Videos.
The first half of the video shows footage of Captain Joseph Kittinger's skydiving from the Excelsior III, a gondola raised by balloons to 102,800 feet as part of Project Excelsior (a series of record-breaking dives from high-altitude). Captain Kittinger fell for 14 minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 mph before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet.
The second half of the video shows footage of big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton.
The final scene of the sun setting was taken from the surfing documentary Crystal Voyager.

A Day Van is a discontinued make of Chevrolet Astro van
