This is a video of extreme athlete Lasse Walker kiteboarding OVER a Red Bull plane flown by pilot Łukasz ‘Luke’ Czepiela. It’s allegedly the first time anybody has ever kiteboarded over a flying plane, because why would they? Lasse clears the plane (which is just skimming the water’s surface) by
This is a video of E.A.R.L., an industrial bowling robot developed by the United States Bowling Congress (and what a Congress it is!) to test bowling balls. E.A.R.L. has managed to bowl perfect games, but has yet to bowl 3 perfect games in a row. There’s always room for improvement
This is a video documenting Red Bull skydiver Max Manow’s quest to wingsuit into the Grand Canyon, grab hold of a tow bar below a plane, and be lifted back up into the sky for another skydive without ever having to land. Think of it as aerial refueling, but for

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.
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 video of two elderly gentlemen proving they’ve still got it (and never didn’t have it) by demonstrating their skills with a Chinese jianzi (think a cross between a hacky sack and badminton shuttlecock), keeping it off the ground with ease using their feet, heads, and, at one
