This is a Great Big Story interview with Australian voice actor Karen Jacobsen, jokingly known as “the only woman men will take directions from.” Since 2002, Karen has been the voice of over 1-billion GPS devices and smartphone apps. Ha, I knew I recognized her from somewhere! She lives in

Because some people like to brag about how they have infinitely more balance than I do, this is a video of freestyle cyclist Fabio Wibmer riding down two sets of stairs backwards, balancing only on the front wheel. That’s impressive. Entirely impractical, but impressive. Still, if Fabio was your weed

This is a video of athlete Eugen Enin performing an incredibly long railgrind (the sharp curve at the end is most impressive) while wearing a pair of Red Lava Grindshoes from Epic Grindshoes. He makes it look easy. Me? A friend of a friend in high school allegedly saw a

This is a video from a 10km (~6.2 mile) toboggan trail in the Swiss Alps. That looks like a good time, complete with some relatively high speed straightaways and hairy turns. For reference, the longest sled ride I’ve ever taken was from the top of the hill at the local

Because who needs wind, this is a video of kite-flier Spence “Watty” Watson flying a custom kite he built for the indoor audience at the recent 2023 South Padre Island Kite Fest in Texas. How do you fly a kite indoors with no wind? You run around, because you are
