This is a video of Robert ‘Rocketman’ Maddox taking his valveless pulsejet powered green lawn chair out for a spin. The chair was actually Robert’s grandmother’s chair from the 1960’s. Heck yeah, I repurpose family heirlooms all the time. I like how there’s nothing between Robert and the road in

This is a clip of a Boston police officer inspecting a children’s slide for safety (I’m kidding, totally just dicking around), and getting taken on the ride of his life in the process. At least he didn’t shoot it afterwards. But why was he riding face-down? Who taught you how

This is a video of bartender Jemina demonstrating her skills behind the bar by casually opening one bottle held in place with her neck, then a rapid fire five bottles in her arm quicker than the Flash. Damn! I’d argue the only way you could open a six pack any

This is a short clip of a jumping spider approaching a house fly, determining which way it will take off (SPOILER: forwards), then grabbing it out of the air as soon as it does. Impressive. Of course the right way to take off would have been as soon as it

This is a video of the very Britishly named Tiff Needell taking a man for a quick spin around the Thruxton Circuit (the UK’s fastest) in a BMW M2. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly, how much some people nervously laugh when they think they’re about to die.

This is a video of GoPro Award recipient Emma Bryan being rewarded with a jet flight and a face melting 10G’s of acceleration. That means her body felt 10 times heavier than normal. If my body felt 10 times heavier than normal? I’d almost certainly form a black hole. Emma

This is a video of a couple riding the Formula Rossa roller coaster (the world’s fastest) at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi and demonstrating how how the 4.9G acceleration from 0 – 149MPH in 4.9 seconds affects his face. It blows it around like a plastic shopping bag in a
