Awesome Mountain

In this thrilling video from Red Bull Motorsports, World Rally Champ Kalle Rovanperä drifts up Japan’s Mount Iwaki in his Toyota GR Corolla. But he’s not alone. On his ascent through its 69 treacherous turns, he must face off against street racers, supercars, and some of the world’s greatest drifters. The nighttime ride back down features an unexpected racer.

It’s a bird, it’s a bike, it’s… Gee Atherton, getting chased by a peregrine falcon while racing down a mountain doing what he does best. Who is the victor? Take a wild guess. Birds-eye view here. (Thanks Chris!)

Director Mikey Schaefer captured pure beauty on film, as we see free climber Dean Potter walking a highline tied to Cathedral Peak in Yosemite National Park while the moon rises behind him.

Let’s head to the top of a mountain in Mieders, Austria. Then, speed all the way to the bottom on this open-air, single-rail coaster down the steep mountainside – without brakes.
