Awesome Pov

In 2024, Canadian mountain biker Jackson Goldstone suffered a catastrophic downhill bike crash, and took a year to recover from his knee injuries. He then came back to take the top of the leader board with this insanely quick run at the 2025 Red Bull Hardline event in Tasmania.

The Inferno Race is the longest downhill ski race in the world. Skier Leonhard Rombach takes us on a first-person ride down the Alpine slopes in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Along the course, skiers hit speeds nearing 100 km/h and are tasked with a brief, blood-pumping uphill climb about 2/3rds of the way through the race.

This immersive nighttime video was shot on the streets of the Harajuku district during a heavy downpour. Captured in 4K HDR, Soul Healing’s footage is as close to being there as you can get and provides a first-person view of the shops, cafes, and youth culture in the popular area. We’re impressed that they kept the camera lens dry the whole time.

YouTuber Brutalmenace shows off an awe-inspiring Hot Wheels track that starts inside his kitchen, runs around his living room, out into his backyard, and into the neighboring park. What makes it more thrilling is how fast the car goes in the POV footage, thanks to accelerators along the track. He’s since extended the track and even added a fire effect.

Athlete Carl Weiseth lives life on the edge. This compilation reel provides a dizzying first-person view of some of his death-defying flights through mountainous rock formations with only his parachute and skis to keep him on course. Carl captured this thrilling ultrawide footage using a GoPro MAX action camera.

Firefighters put their lives on the line daily to help save lives and property. This video gives us a rare glimpse into what it’s like from their perspective. Fireman Joseth Abel Espinosa of the Third Fire Company of Ñuñoa wore a GoPro camera as he and his crew headed into a major house fire in Santiago, Chile. You can almost feel the heat coming off of the screen.

It’s been a minute since we checked in with 5MadMovieMakers and their elaborate Hot Wheels setups. This time, they put together a lengthy track that starts in the street, heads down a driveway, and wraps around a house through an expansive yard, garden, and bushes. The clip culminates with the car and camera diving to the bottom of a swimming pool.

Recently, Red Side created an animation comparing the speeds of vehicles and other fast-moving objects. This new video switches up the perspective, letting us see how quickly they move from a first- or third-person view. While we love to go fast, a lazy cruise in that Apollo lunar rover looks like a nice way to spend the day.

What do you do with a bobsled course when it’s no longer used? If you’re a daredevil bike rider, you turn it into a bike trail. Red Bull UK MTB rider Matt Jones takes us on a wild ride through an abandoned bobsled course in Sarajevo, taking full advantage of its banked walls and high-speed potential. He didn’t use his brakes on the whole run.

Every roller coaster we’ve ever been on had rails to keep its train cars on course. But this crazy coaster at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Pennsylvania sends riders down a thrilling course in free-riding trains. The Flying Turns ride starts on rails to build up speed, then zooms freestyle through a series of banked wooden sections. Full 4K ride video here.

We’ve witnessed filmmaker Jay Christensen’s drone photography skills before. In this amazing FPV clip, he takes us on a journey through the now-iconic Las Vegas Sphere, starting from outside the facility, flying through its massive lobby, and into its immersive arena. Once inside, we find that Phish is playing on stage. Now try on your backstage pass.

The single-seat Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, aka A-10 Warthog, is one of the most successful military aircraft ever made. The USA Military Channel posted this fascinating footage captured from the underbelly of an A-10 as it performs operational tests of weapon deployments after software and systems upgrades.

Beyond the travel and expense, most of us don’t have the stamina to climb to the top of Mt. Everest. Thanks to photographer liulangCooki‬ and drone maker DJI, we can virtually climb to the summit of the 29,039-foot mountain, starting at base camp. The video was captured using a DJI Mavic 3 Pro, which packs three cameras, including a high-end 4/3 Hasselblad unit.

The last time we checked in on the Jetson ONE quadrotor, it was buzzing through a forest. The single-seat eVTOL aircraft has continued to improve over the years, and it looks even more impressive as it flies over the hills of Tuscany in Italy. The company is closer than ever to production, with initial shipments scheduled for later in 2024 into 2025.

Mountain biker Dean Tennant takes us for a ride along an unusual trail. The defunct Sooke Flowline was used to deliver water into Victoria, British Columbia. The 27-mile-long, moss-covered concrete pipeline winds through a thick forest and has become an impromptu course for skilled and daring riders. There’s one stretch that’s particularly sketchy.

The Isle of Man TT motorcycle race takes balls of steel as riders go zooming around the course at speeds up to 200 mph while strapped to their crotch rockets. In June 2023, racer Peter Hickman crushed the record for the TT Mountain Course, doing all 37.73 miles in 16:36.115 and averaging over 136 mph throughout. Hickman’s 2024 lap wasn’t too shabby either.
