Moab Desert FPV Flyover
Take an amazing flight through the rock formations West of Moab, Utah, from the eye-in-the-sky of a Reaper XL flying wing, controlled by DragonLink UHF with a GoPro Hero2 camera aboard.
Longest Skateboard Handstand
Sure, this record was set all the way back in 1996 (and the video quality looks like its from 1986), but we’re still impressed with Sam Tartamella’s epic 2,255 foot-long skateboarding handstand.
Diablo III: You Will Die
Assuming the game ever actually ships, Diablo III has something special in store for you. The game’s highest difficulty modes – Nightmare, Hell and Inferno promise to kick your ass into eternity.

Designed just for snowboarding, it’s wrapped in waterproof 686 fabric, with outside zipper pockets, GoPro mirrors, swivel seats for quick boot fittings and specialized storage for fast board access.
Self-Leveling Pool Table
Why would someone need a self-leveling pool table? To hustle suckers on their yacht of course. Spotted on board a cruise ship, this table uses a gyroscope to keep balls in place in rough waters.
Shank 2 (Launch Trailer)

720 Double Tailwhip
Watch in awe as Daniel Sandoval spins his bike into the “world’s first” 720-degree double tailwhip at FISE Costa Rica. Thought it looks to us like this guy might have beaten this feat a couple of years back.
Golden Playing Cards
These flashy playing cards come from Japan’s IDEA International, and are made from spill-resistant plastic. Don’t share this with Donald Trump or he might buy out the entire inventory for his casinos.
Tiny Drum Solo
While anyone can play tiny drums with a mobile app these days, there’s something that just seems inherently more impressive about a person who can play tiny physical drums with mini drumsticks.

Iron Sky (Trailer 2)
Brace yourselves for cheesy humor, astronauts going up against space Nazis and bad puns in the latest trailer for Iron Sky. Those poor Moon-raised kids are going to be destroyed by Earth’s gravity.
Selk’Bag
We never thought that wearable sleeping bags was a sub-genre, but here’s another good one. It’s made of nylon ripstop with water-resistant finish and will make you look like a cuddly astronaut.
M/V Aria Cruise Ship
Think of it as a luxurious five-star hotel floating down the Amazon. The 147-foot ship offers just 32 beautiful and dramatic rooms, each with a huge window looking out into the rainforests of Peru.
Neca Portal Gun Replica
Wish you had a Portal gun? Wish no more. Neca is now taking pre-orders for their 1:1 scale Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. We’ve seen better efforts, but then again those were not for sale.
RHCP: Look Around
From the amazingly consistent Red Hot Chili Peppers. Kiedis is still rapping, Flea still gets naked, Will Ferrell Chad Smith is still their drummer and John Frusciante has left the band again.

It looks like the Stratos project was delayed, but Felix Baumgartner and the Red Bull team are still set on sending him to the edge of space and ensuring he survives the hypersonic fall.
