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
These are a couple videos of a LinkerBot Linker Hand L30 demonstrating its quickness by screwing a variety of nuts and bolts at lightning speed. It’s like a cordless screwdriver…but a hand. Talk about fingers of fury! Is this a pleasure model? If it isn’t already, it will be soon.
Note: Flashing lights. This is a video of Italian Olympic luger Leon Felderer speeding down the track in Lillehammer, Norway at speeds up to 86MPH with nothing between him and the track but some spandex, a sled, and a prayer. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times
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
A team of speed demon students at the Academic Motorsports Club Zürich and Swiss universities ETH Zürich and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts have set a new world record for fastest electric vehicle, producing a tiny one-seater that rips from 0 – 62MPH in just 0.956 seconds.
