A heartpounding ride through rocky dirt paths, staircases, narrow alleyways and bumpy sidewalks – captured from the perspective of bike rider Kelly McGarry as he zips through Taxco, Mexico’s perilous urban downhill race.
Yep, that’s a man riding a mountain bike on top of a bridge. Italian free riding legend Vittorio Brumotti paid homage to Martyn Ashton’s Road Bike Party stunt videos with this spine-tingling cycling exhibition.
Joining in the great tradition of wingsuit flyers going through narrow gaps, Sebastian Alvarez zoomed into a 39ft. space between two buildings after being dropped from a paraglider. The song is Röyksopp’s Keyboard Milk.
The fearless James Kingston once again sets our toes atingle with a POV video of him conquering another London landmark. You might say “seen one crane climb, seen em all,” but the huge gap he soars over might convince you otherwise.
Photographer Darren Dyk of Beyond Slow Motion captured the mad skills and extreme stunts of Nitro Circus Live through the lens of his slow-mo camera, letting us see their ramp flips and trick in more detail than ever before.
(NSFW: Language, Gore) While collecting snow samples at Mt. Himlung in Nepal, professor John All fell 70ft. into a crevasse. Despite suffering severe injuries, John managed to climb out and call for help. Be sure to watch the entire playlist.
Snowboarder Dan Brisse decided that combining snowboarding and rooftop parkour would be a good idea, as he was towed to the edge of a building, flew through the air while doing a spin, and landed on another roof.
While it’s not as easy to pull off as putting out a fire with a jet boat, this contraption that uses a decommissioned Russian tank and MiG fighter jet engines can put out those notoriously difficult oil field fires. (Footage from Fires of Kuwait)
Xpogo shows off some of the crazy stunts that are possible with pogo sticks, as athletes use their springy sticks to jump over ledges, bounce off walls, down stairs and generally jounce around like Tigger – except when they crash.
Fitness expert Frank Medrano shows off more of his incredible strength and muscle control in his most recent calesthenics video. What impresses us just as much is that this guy has written an instructional book for beginners. (Thanks Chris!)
Skydiving partners Vincent Reffet and Frederic Fugen set a new world record by jumping from the very top of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, which is nearly 2,800ft. tall. POV footage please!
Speed rider Valentin Delluc pulls off a trick that seems straight out of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater game: grinding on ski lift cables at high speed, making sure to float off to avoid the posts at the last second. More here.
Geoff Gulevich’s vertigo-inducing POV footage from his first run at the 2013 Red Bull Rampage freeride mountain biking contest. It’s the exact same event where Kelly McGarry backflipped his way through a 72ft gap. You crazy people.
Professional snowboarder Jamie Barrow went up to about 50mph using a handheld thruster currently being developed by Dreamscience. The device has four electric carbon fiber ducted fans, an aluminum frame and a 35kW battery.
To position himself for the perfect powdery run, snowboarder and adventurer Xavier de la Rue rappeled down a treacherous vertical rock face. Fortunately, he captured it all on his GoPro for us to enjoy.
40 years ago, a wire-walker broke into the World Trade Center to showcase his skills. Last year, four BASE jumpers sneaked into and jumped off the new One World Trade Center tower for a late night thrill. Skip to 2:30 for the jump.
The second in a series of impressive stunt bike videos put together by Switch Riders, as riders Benjamin Baldini and Kevin Parussini tear through abandoned buildings with their Kawasaki and Suzuki motorcycles. First episode here.
Daredevil Scott Young is more than capable of maintaining a handstand, but he’s now known for taking his acrobatics to the rooftops of tall buildings, performing them inches from the edge. We’re just glad it wasn’t any more windy.
In this awesome footage from Epic TV’s new series A Straight Shot, pilot Dan Vicary flies over the powdery Swiss Alps, while tailed just eight feet behind by cameraman Brian Drake in his own squirrel suit.
Passing by a cold, empty skate park can be so sad. It’s nice to see that Red Bull once again got some midwinter use out of one by blanketing it in ice and giving ice cross racers a chance to compete in a skill and style competition.
Snowboarder Matt Annetts glides down an insanely steep, 3600+ foot-tall mountainside in this excerpt from Nuit de la Glisse’s feature film IMAGINE: Life Spent on the Edge, an exploration of some of the world’s greatest adventurers.
Vasily Patrakov, Alex Chigretskiy and 3RUN head to Israel for this POV parkour video. They start off doing Mirror’s Edge style roof-runs, but soon find themselves jumping and planting their feet all over the country. IN SANDALS.
