This is a video of a skydiver trying to remain as motionless as possible while she plummets towards earth, filmed upside-down so she appears to be falling up. She does a great job, especially considering the air resistance. That air can be RESISTANT. But nowhere near as resistant as my
This is the helmetcam footage of skier Owen Leeper causing and surviving a small avalanche, but getting clotheslined by some rocks on the way down the chute and dislocating his shoulder. As someone who’s never dislocated a shoulder before, I imagine that sucks, but it’s nowhere near as bad as
This is a Thrasher compilation of some of the best San Francisco hill bombs performed by skateboarder Sean Greene, runs that can only be described as entirely too steep and a bad idea. I like how with the speed he generates he can easily ollie over an entire crosswalk. Me?
This is a video of wingsuiters Fred Fugen, Vincent “Veush” Cotte, and Aurélien “Bras Noir Chatard setting the world record for longest wingsuit flight in close proximity, traveling a respectable 7.5km (4.7 miles) over Mont Blanc in France.

This is a video of little record setter Deshna Aditya Nahar, who at just 7-years old set the world record for fastest time to rollerskate limbo under 20 cars, with a very respectable 13.74 seconds. For reference, my best time is still counting up (it’s in the years now) since
Another example of yesterday’s need of extreme sporters to constantly push the envelope, this is a video of X-Games gold medalist Red Bull skateboarder Leticia Bufoni performing the world’s first ‘Sky Grind’ at 9,000 feet out the back of a plane. I like how fast the skateboard just zips away
