Always one to push personal transportation to the limit, this is a video of engineer James Bruton (seen previously constructing a personal AT-AT walker) building an omni-directional bike that sits on two giant balls. It works beautifully. And speaking of giant balls– “Elephants?” NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES. Up to 2,200-pounds!

This is a video from the recent X-Games on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado of Italian skier Miro Tabanelli and Japanese snowboarder Hiroto Ogiwara landing the first 2340° spins. Just like the title says, that’s 6.5 rotations, or TRUE STORY: 5.5 more rotations than I completed before breaking my arm.

These are two videos of a member of kendama (the traditional Japanese wooden toy) performance group Densho DEN-SHOW successfully cupping the balls of 40 toys simultaneously. I have also included a video of him previously doing 30. So do you think when he’s practicing for the next big feat he

This is a video demonstration of Cree Ossner’s Swish Machine, a massive outdoor Rube Goldberg machine that takes almost 3 minutes to run and starts and ends with the shooting of a basketball (plus has another in the middle!). Although the end shot is more of a roll into the

This is a short clip of my Australian fantasy friends How Ridiculous flying a drone through a tractor tire as it’s speeding down a steep hill. Could I have done it? Given enough tries, absolutely. Just to be clear though, I’m not going to be the one responsible for hauling

This is the music video for OK Go’s ‘A Stone Only Rolls Downhill’, filmed on 64 separate iPhones and then laid out in a matrix and replayed for a trippy effect. I can’t even imagine the time and effort that went into making the video, but there’s no doubt it

This is a video of dancer Hittesh Patel demonstrating his skills with a couple very impressive tutting performances (tutting references King Tut, because the angular hand movements resemble the poses seen in ancient Egyptian stone reliefs). Now that is some serious coordination. I can’t even walk and chew gum. Pat
