A throwback to the original X-Games Mode video, this is a video of parkour athlete/stuntman Bob Reese going self-proclaimed X-Games Mode on a boogie board in a flooded skatepark pool. Was that really X-Games mode? It’s debatable. Of course one person’s X-Games Mode is another’s walk in the park. Everything

This is a video of a Jeep’s copilot panicking and abandoning ship as soon as the vehicle starts to slip backwards while offroading. The driver quickly regains control of the vehicle though, and the copilot is left sitting there with egg, and dirt, on his face. Good luck getting a

This is a video of Rubik’s Cuber (Cubist?) Max Park beating the previous Rubik’s Cube speed solving record of 3.47 seconds (which stood for 4.5 years) with a blistering 3.13 second finish. For reference, the Rubik’s Cube I’ve had since I was 7 remains unsolved, so my personal best, which

This is a video of Northern Irish speed racer Michael Dunlop blasting down a straightaway during one of the recent Isle of Man TT races at 180+MPH. You can hear him coming and going the whole time, but you can only see him for like three seconds. 180MPH on a

Note: I originally posted this back in 2020 but I saw it going around the internet again so I’m dredging it back up like terrifying deepwater fish because the article I wrote was so good I’m lazy. This is a video of a skateboarder wiping out after a jump and

This is a video of science lover James Orgill from Youtube channel The Action Lab popping balloons in the loudest and quietest rooms at 3M’s Innovation Center. The loudest room is a reverberation chamber (is that what Darth Vader hung out in?) that reflects maximum sound waves, while the quietest

This is a video of a Delton8 drum and sampler synthesizer that’s been built into a custom case with the addition of a ferrofluid suspended in a clear window that moves to the beat you’re creating. That’s wild, it looks like it’s about to come to life. And maybe with

Built by mountain biker and experimental bike maker Sam Pilgrim (previously), this is a video of a side-by-side tandem mountain bike where both riders get a pair of pedals and handlebars, but only the right-hand rider can steer and use the brakes. Obviously, if you’re a control freak, you’ll want

This is a video of musician The Kiffness (previously) turning the audio of a cat named George Rufus who appears to say “Sometimes I’m alone. Hello? Sometimes I’m not” into a sad little song about loneliness. There’s nothing sadder than a sad cat, and a song about a sad cat

These are several videos from the Diorama Restaurant in Osaka, Japan, of the resident cats playing with the model trains that run around the restaurant. Wow, this restaurant has it all — model trains AND cats. All the restaurants around here have no frills, just bad food that’s even worse
