This promo spot for Saudi Arabia’s planned leisure district Qiddiya starts off with a bunch of bored people going through the motions with their humdrum entertainment, then takes the rails off the rides, freeing them to truly enjoy their playtime. Director Nick Roney’s execution of the concept is fantastically inventive and filled with fun moments.

It uses a high-voltage plasma spark to light fires and works in winds up to 80 mph. When closed, its rubberized ABS body provides IPX6-rated water resistance and can float on water if you drop it.

Most of the snowboarding videos we’ve seen have been edited to show the best action. Olympic and X Games snowboarding medalist Sage Kotsenburg shared nine minutes of unedited first-person GoPro footage from his rides through the fresh powder at Eagle Pass, BC. If you’ve never taken a backcountry route, it’s the closest you’ll get to being there.

Sporty might not be the first word that pops into your head when you think of the Nissan Altima, but the 2.0 SR model surpassed our expectations. The top-of-the-heap for Nissan’s mid-size sedan has a zippy turbocharged engine, a performance-tuned suspension, and sport wheels. It’s no supercar, but we came away entertained after a week behind the wheel.

This machine is moving so quickly that it’s hard to believe how much it is doing. The high-speed blow molding system can crank out and quality test roughly 45,000 bottles per hour – that’s 750 bottles per minute. We need The Slow Mo Guys to stop by this factory with their high-speed camera.

We’ve seen some of Bob “Rocketman” Maddox’s insane rides before. This vehicle is an improved version of his jet-propelled skateboard that he can stand on while riding. This pulsejet-powered board has handlebars to hang onto, though the helmet-less Robert uses one hand to hold onto his selfie stick. The lack of steering and brakes makes it even more sketchy.

This compact pocket tool is, first and foremost, a utility knife/box cutter. It has a retractable and replaceable blade with an easy-to-deploy thumb slider and a couple of other useful tools.

Maker Ali Spagnola teamed up with the L.A. Department of Public Health to help promote sexual health. Her project? Inflate thousands of condoms for an art exhibit inspired by Andy Warhol’s Silver Clouds. It took three days to blow them all up. After filling some by mouth (and trombone), Ali and her pals sped things up with compressed air.

A padded main handle and detachable shoulder strap provide carrying options, and a hard-shell bottom keeps it stable and protects its contents.

(Flashing lights) Jacob Weldon’s gruesome horror short film BUG has a slick, neon-lit style inspired by the 1980s. But there’s nothing glossy about what happens to its protagonist after she gets bitten on her arm by a pesky fly. It makes us wonder if the bug was related to Jeff Goldblum’s infamous Brundlefly.

This bedroll carrier from Tallman Outdoors is handmade from 10 oz. waxed canvas and stitched with rot-resistant thread.

Currently, the third-tallest building in the world, the sleek 2,073-foot-tall Shanghai Tower looks incredible through the lens of Joshua’s GoPro11 Mini camera. He also flew around a few other tall structures.
