Awesome Dirt

For today’s physics lesson, kids, we will learn about weight, density, and air resistance. In this very short video, we’ll see one worker’s simple yet effective method of separating red beans from dirt. Sure, a machine might be more efficient, but we appreciate this guy’s low-tech solution.

Most backyards are covered with grass or maybe have a patio or a swimming pool. Adolf Silva has a mountain bike park in his yard. MTB rider Sam Pilgrim and his pals Max Fredriksson and Nicholi Rogatkin stopped by Silva’s compound to do some jumps and tricks through this amazing and challenging backyard dirt course.

No, don’t try this at home, but it’s cool to hear Red Bull World Champ freestyle motocross biker Levi Sherwood describe how to do his Shaolin Backflip trick, and see it in slo-mo.

You have to hand it to YouTuber 87mcmahan87 for having the cojones to go riding his dirt bike on these skinny, snow-covered ridges. It might not be as high up as it looks, but we still couldn’t do it.

Dirt 3 milks Ken Block’s endorsement for all its worth with this wonderful tilt-shift version of the gymkhana run through Battersea Power Station, making Block’s car look like an R/C toy.

Ken Block takes his rally ride for a dizzying, dust-filled spin through London’s Battersea Power Station as part of a promo for the new DIRT 3. Commercial or not, it’s still awesome driving.

Think you can do better than Ken Block? You can try in DiRT 3. Practice your tight turns, daring leaps and slides without thinking of the cost of wrecked tires in the new Gymkhana Mode.

There are some sweet moves in this 3 minute video of Paul Basagoitia dirt jumping at his property, shot from a Canon 7d mounted on a RC chopper (Trex 700). Slightly NSFW soundtrack.

Yamaha’s YZ450F features a unique fuel-injection system for instant throttle feedback. Plus, its 449cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC engine is built to provide improved balance and handling.
