This is a video of Tom Scott visiting the Montreal Olympic Sports Centre (built for the 1976 Summer Olympics), which features the only indoor 20-meter diving platform in North America. Apparently cliff diver Lysanne Richard convinced the Montreal Olympics Park to add an 18m platform in the rafters when the

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

This is a video from an Autoball match in Germany of two cars immediately crashing into each other at kickoff, since neither could see the other on account of the giant soccer ball between them. That’s a shame. If there’s anything I’ve learned from my time as a demolition derby

Because soon all sports will be played entirely by robots, this is a video of Google’s i-S2R ping pong playing robot completing a 4-minute, 340-shot rally with a human before it nets a ball because clearly there’s still work to be done. That’s cool, but why did they name it

In honor of the playoffs (which unfortunately the Cubs aren’t participating in this year), this is a beautiful drone fly-through of Wrigley Field. It starts outside in the neighborhood surround the park, flying through bars, then into the stadium, then back outside, then through the clubhouse and locker room, then
