This is a video of jump roper Cen Xiaolin setting a new world speed record with an astonishing 228 jumps (technically alternate leg skips) in 30 seconds. That’s 7.6 jumps PER SECOND. Cen has been speed jumping for a while, and his record 8 years ago was only 108 jumps,
This is some helmet-cam footage of skier Leonhard Rombach competing in the Inferno Rennen 2025 downhill race, the longest in the world, and reaching speeds over 60MPH in the process. There’s also a brief uphill climb around 5:30. Honestly, I saw a lot of opportunities to shave some valuable seconds
This is a video of an exhilarating trip down the 800-foot roller slide in Tabayama, Japan. It’s Japan’s longest roller slide (with a sliding surface of metal rollers like you’d imagine boxes traveling along in a factory) and opened in 1990. “The slide has no seat belts, helmets or much
Because some people feel the need for speed (I only feel the need for sleep), this is some inside-the-visor camera footage from 2024’s current fastest Isle Of Man TT motorcycle racer Davey Todd. The video is insane. Now, I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have the fastest reflexes

These are a couple clips from the Madison Regatta Governor’s Cup on the Ohio River starring racer Dustin Echols performing an unintentional backflip in his jet-powered hydroplane. That must have been exciting. Especially watching the second video with the POV footage — it looks like the boat was about to
This is the helmet cam footage from English motorcycle racer Peter Hickman as he sets the fastest lap ever recorded at the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race, with an AVERAGE speed of 136MPH. That’s nuts. Things go by so fast I can’t believe the racers can react to anything,
