Human Loop De Loop

Human Loop De Loop

We’ve seen it done with cars, bikes, and at least attempted on a longboard, but stuntman Damien Walters recently pulled off what we have long thought was impossible – running fast enough to do a 360° loop. Sonic Spin Dash IRL!

Snowlercoaster

Because snow bowling wasn’t enough fun, Devin Supertramp and his pals decided to combine the activities of ziplining and sledding into a single thrilling sport. We think this is the way they should start the Olympic luge and skeleton.

Motorcycle Ice Drifting

Motorcycle Ice Drifting

You’d think that ice and motorcycles wouldn’t mix, but stunt rider Jorian Ponomareff proved just the opposite as he pulled off some awesome drifts and tricks on the slippery stuff. An oldie, but a goodie from 2012. Fun BTS video here.

Shanghai Tower Climb

Shanghai Tower Climb

A couple of Russian adrenaline junkies snuck their way into the construction site of China’s Shanghai Tower, the world’s second tallest building, and managed to shimmy their way to the top. The wind noise alone freaks us out.

The Balloon Highline

The Balloon Highline

Amazing footage of slackliners who attempted to cross a line strung between two floating hot air balloons. While none of them quite made it all the way, at least they all had parachutes – or umbrellas. Skip to 2:00 for the stunt.

Red Bull Stratos GoPro Footage

Red Bull Stratos GoPro Footage

“I’m coming home now.” A humbling and nail-biting view of Felix Baumgartner’s 24mi free fall from the edge of space, captured through GoPro Hero2 cameras mounted on his balloon and suit. One of the best videos you’ll ever see.

BMX Front-Flip

BMX Front-Flip

We’ve seen crazy front-flips performed on motorcycles and even on a scooter. In this Nitro Circus stunt, Ryan Williams pulls one on his BMX bike in one swift move which must be watched over and over. Fortunately, there’s a .gif here.

Man Eats Cacti

Man Eats Cacti

That’s right, not one, but two cactus plants. Egged on by the stupidity of fellow YouTubers Children of Poseidon and La Fenix, L.A. Beast munched on the spiked plant. They seem less lethal than the world’s hottest pepper.

Devourer of Steaks

Devourer of Steaks

She is Molly Schuyler, Devourer of Steaks, Ravager of Meats, The Great Eater, The Fourth Force of The Universe. Watch this 5’7″, 125lb. competitive eater eat a 72oz. steak like it was cotton candy, finishing it in under 3 minutes.

Best of Web 6

Moab Towers & Magic Backpacks

GoPro presents a short film featuring BASE jumpers Hayley Ashburn and Marshall Miller as they climb and then parachute from one of the Fisher Towers. Their contrasting views about their hobby make the footage more intense.

Eating the World’s Hottest Pepper

Eating the World’s Hottest Pepper

(Gross) Food extremist L.A. Beast eats two Chocolate Butlahs, which his chili connoisseur friends are calling the world’s hottest pepper. Either that claim is true or this guy should replace Mark Ruffalo as the Incredible Hulk.

Wheelchair Freestyle
