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 from the helmet of pro mountain biker Juan Diego Salido as he blasts down an extreme, jump-filled trail built for the Darkfest 2023 biking competition in South Africa. I broke so many bones just watching it, and I’m sitting on the toilet! Just kidding, but my
