This is a video of a young artistic inline skater performing a freestyle slalom to Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’. How he manages to weave around all those cones without knocking one over is beyond me (full disclosure: most things are). I suspect it involves a lot of skill and practice
This is a video of Red Bull bike athlete Bora Altintas bombing down a staircase that can only be described as incredibly too steep, and entirely too narrow at points. Sure if you’re a jerk you might argue the camera makes them look more extreme than they really are, but
This is a video from South Korea of an actor portraying Jesus ascending via crane during an Easter celebration. Then ascending some more. Then some more. Then some more. I’m not sure if he made it all the way to heaven or not, but he was definitely close. Was this
