This is an almost 4-mile drone flight up the French alps piloted by Romano FPV starting from Chamonix (altitude: 3379-ft) to the peak of Aiguille du Midi (altitude: 12,605-ft). That’s an altitude gain of 9,226 feet, or 1.75-miles. Damn, I would probably have trouble breathing all the way up there.

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

Always one to push personal transportation to the limit, this is a video of engineer James Bruton (seen previously constructing a personal AT-AT walker) building an omni-directional bike that sits on two giant balls.

This is a POV video from fun-loving adult and YouTuber Brutalmenace, who built a Hot Wheels track all around his house, complete with speed boosters so the car zips around as fast as possible. We didn’t have those speed boosters when I was a kid. We just had four pieces

This is a short clip of my Australian fantasy friends How Ridiculous flying a drone through a tractor tire as it’s speeding down a steep hill. Could I have done it? Given enough tries, absolutely. Just to be clear though, I’m not going to be the one responsible for hauling

This is a best-of (or, perhaps more accurately: most dangerous-of) video from speedrider (a gliding parachute + skis) Carl Weiseth featuring some of his most insane flights. That is not how I want to die. I don’t want to be poisoned either, so put away that vial. Not that you’d

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

This is a video from Michigan of an SUV with a new flatscreen television strapped to the roof rack with bungee cords, and that television desperately trying to take to the skies. Why they didn’t just put the seats down in the back of their car we’ll never know, but
