This is a video of a bunch of regular people reacting to standing atop a 10-meter diving platform and deciding whether or not to jump. It was interesting to watch. Now as someone who grew up a swimmer and lived around pools I’ve jumped off 10-meter platforms a handful of
This is a side-by-side comparison of the speed of Olympic 100-meter freestyle swimmers in 1932 and 2016. Unsurprisingly, the 2016 swimmers are faster. How much faster?

This is a super short video of Washington State University track and fielder Ray Wells Jr. casually clearing a 61-inch (5-foot, 1-inch) hurdle with the apparent ease of stepping over a passed out roommate. For reference, I fell trying to put my pants on this morning and hurt my elbow.

These are a couple of videos of Brazilian big wave surfer Maya Gabeira setting the women’s world record for largest wave surfed, with this terrifying 73.5-foot bonecrusher off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. Holy smokes! Obviously, if these giant waves aren’t a sign that Poseidon is pissed with the way
This is a video of a very amateur or possibly even whatever is below very amateur golfer practicing his tee-off and driving a ball right into his own eye, with some people cheering for Tiger Woods audio added for extra comedic effect. Now I’m not saying this guy should probably
This is a video of a skateboarder wiping out after a jump and making the smoothest tumbling backflip-like recovery I’ve ever seen in my 800+ years on this planet. “Dammit, not with the undead warlock shit again.” I’ll have you know the skateboard was invented two days after I turned
