Awesome Sports

Sherpas Cinema’s insane-looking documentary about freerider Graham Agassiz. In 2013 Aggy broke two vertebrae when his bike got caught in a bush in one of his downhill runs. Thankfully he recovered and is back in action.

This TED talk is a thinly veiled ad for a sports analytics company. To be fair, they’re Minority Report minus the psychics. By quantifying behavior and ability they can accurately predict the likelihood of possible outcomes.

Hans-Kristian Vittinghus put on a show at the 2015 Yonex US Open Badminton Championships Men’s Finals against Lee Chong Wei. The two engaged in a battle of placing that couldn’t have ended better. Lee got the last laugh though.

Donning a GoPro, golf pro Karsten Maas shows off a variety of trick shots done with his collection of silly custom golf clubs, which range from a hammer club to a crazy 14-foot-long driver. He certainly knows how to keep his eye on the ball.

A squirrel was spotted running to the top of the net at a recent Phillies/Cards game, when it suddenly took a flying leap – directly into the bullpen. We don’t know the prognosis of the squirrel, but he managed to clear the bench.

We’re assuming it took them a few tries, but it’s still pretty damned impressive that the guys from How Ridiculous were able to sink a basketball thrown 415 off the top of Tasmania’s Gordon Dam through a net stationed at the bottom.

U.S. mountain biker Aaron Gwin shows how skill and determination trumps working equipment as his bike broke its chain at the start of the race, and he still managed to win the round. Fortunately he didn’t need to pedal uphill.

(PG-13 Language) “See what he did there? He put the orange ball in the red circle, thereby releasing a double point.” Boat Comedy says this is what NBA pre-game talk is like. They’re wrong. This is what the pre-game talk should be like.

Biker dads will appreciate the comfort and sweet graphics on these Pearl Izumi jerseys. Offered in a variety of designs, they’re semi-fitted with roomy rear pockets and superior fabric wicking abilities, so you can look and feel cool all day.

(PG-13 Language) Last Week Tonight returns to look at the indictment and arrest of some of FIFA’s top officials on charges of corruption. Sadly, the organization will live on unless its sponsors pull their funding.

Vince Carter made a 7ft. dude world famous by dunking over him. The 5’9″ baller Ilya Kroshka aka Kroha doesn’t shatter anyone’s dreams here, but he does dunk over a guy piggybacked on another guy.

A group of musically talented Golden State Warriors fans went all out in their homage to the league MVP and the team’s baby-faced assassin in this cheesy adaptation of the Beatles’ Let It Be. He will be the answer…

The 6’1″ “professional dunker” and Bounce Kit creator Jordan Kilganon pulls off what he calls the Lost and Found. It’s a 360º behind the back self-alley oop monster jam. The dude at 0:13 just got his life ruined.

This custom version of Audi’s TT 2+2 has been blessed with an electrically-enhanced turbocharging system which turns its small 2.5L 5-banger into a 600hp monster that does 0-to-60 in 3.6 secs, and tops out at 192mph. Dat wing.

Pepsi set up a nighttime street soccer match in Barcelona. The court and the buildings around it had a drone referee, interactive LEDs, and projection-mapped scoreboard and visual effects, including a cheeky moving goal.

Fantasy Jocks makes rings, championship belts and trophies for fantasy football. They also have trophies for fantasy basketball and baseball, and loser’s trophies for your league’s worst GMs.

The NBA aired two playoffs commercials starting a few days before the postseason began. All the teams in the first ad eventually advanced to the second round at the expense of all the teams in the second ad.

Snowboarder Dan Brisese found himself away from the powdery slopes, so he turned to the power of a winch to propel himself through a variety of unexpected environments. Who needs a half-pipe when you can have a whole-pipe?

Combat league M-1 has a Medieval division, which is like MMA but with medieval armor and weapons. It’s both hilarious and terrifying. Skip to 4:07. Highlights here. More here. You know what to do, Gregor Clegane.
