Awesome Pov

YouTuber 5MadMovieMakers once again made good use of their Hot Wheels-mounted GoPro Hero Session. This time they built ramps and paths to pull off a variety of car flips and jumps. The resulting POV footage is like Trackmania in real life.

Grant “The King of Random” Thompson shills for Lenovo’s MotoMods smartphone add-ons by strapping a Moto Z Force phone to the side of a 10-foot rocket with duct tape and a custom-molded mounting bracket, then firing it more than 16,000 feet into the air.

In 2014, pilot Mark Penell encountered a problem that would have caused lesser men to panic. His single-seat Rans S-10 airplane lost its propeller mid-flight. But Mark kept his cool, and brought the plane in for a safe landing without its primary means of propulsion.

(LOUD) We’ll say this once. If you get motion sickness, DO NOT hit play. But for the rest of us, this dizzying video shot from the perspective of the rotating blade of a Russian Mi-8 helicopter is pretty neat. We’d love to see the same thing in slow-motion.

(PG-13: Language) We’ve been dying to get behind the wheel of the new Ford Focus RS, what with its 350 hp, AWD, torque vectoring, and other rally-style bells and whistles. But Ford did us one better, and put us in one with Ben Collins (aka “The Stig”) at the controls.

A highly abridged walkthrough of the many cryptic buttons and knobs pilots must use to start up a Boeing 737 jet. You’d think that with today’s tech, they could just punch in a destination, but these complex machines require significant manual input to fly.

CoasterForce shares an impressively crisp and immersive 4K video of The Monster, a new roller coaster located at Adventureland Iowa, complete with a crazy 101° vertical drop, crazy banks, and five inversions. The nighttime off-ride footage is worth watching too.

Regular Car Reviews takes us on a ride inside the cockpit of a replica of the Knight Industries Two Thousand, the car driven in the ’80s classic Knight Rider. Pretty much everything about the modded 1982 Pontiac Trans Am is impractical, but we still love it. Full review here.

YouTuber 5MadMovieMakers used over 200ft of Hot Wheels tracks, a GoPro Hero4 Session and sharp editing to make it seem like his toy car was teleporting across a wide array of locations – including underwater! – in this fun video.

Our favorite trespassing tower climbers somehow got sponsored by beer maker Tuborg to illegally climb Hong Kong’s New World Centre. The 869ft building is currently undergoing renovation, but on the roofs managed to make it on top undetected.

We’re not sure what it is with animals and action cameras, what with seagulls, octopi, and lions taking a liking to the gadgets. Recently, Viva Frei set the diminutive GoPro Session camera on the ground in a park, and a squirrel decided to take it for a trip into the trees.

GoPro shares this dazzling onboard footage from drone racer Tony Thompson at the Phoenix Cup. The nighttime race’s best part is undoubtedly its neon-lit and multi-altitude race track. We’re getting closer and closer to Wipeout IRL.

The Sahara Force India Formula One team had their driver Nico Hülkenberg wear a Tobii head-mounted camera with eye-tracking sensors while practicing. The resulting video points out where Nico spends most of his time looking as well as his incredible focus and reflexes.

After winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans just one week earlier, driver Romain Dumas headed to Pikes Peak Colorado and flew through the course in just 8:51.445 in his Norma M20 RD Limited Spec racer. The footage is shaky as hell, but still completely amazing.

Watch Mark Higgins’ record-smashing run around the 37-mile Isle of Man TT road course in his track spec 2016 Subaru WRX STI. He zipped around the deadly course in just 17m 35s at an average speed of 128.73mph, besting his own 2014 record by nearly 2m and 12 mph.

Pianist and composer Nikolai Kapustin is known for his unique virtuoso pieces, which fuse the playful chaos of jazz with the perfectionist stamp of classical music. Pianist Dimitry Masleev demonstrates Kapustin’s music in this first-person performance of Toccatina Op. 40.

YouTuber Mr Steele returned from the 2016 Joe Nall RC airplane show with footage that’s possible only through a camera-equipped drone and one hell of an operator at the controls. The song is The Glow by Big Data.

You’ll believe a bike can fly in this epic run from Rachel Atherton, as she sets a record 10th victory in a row at the 2016 UCI Mountain Bike world cup, tearing down the course at breakneck speeds, over rocks, roots, and other obstacles without so much as flinching.

Petrolicious recently shot a great documentary about a race-winning Porsche 718 RS 60, and its driver Derek Bell. Now, they’ve posted what is possibly the best bit – a five minute reel of Bell driving the classic Porsche at speed that makes us feel like we’re riding in the car with him.

SpaceX just launched a communications satellite to space using its Falcon 9 rocket. For the third time in a row, the rocket’s first stage booster landed in the ocean on a drone ship. This brief time-lapse from an onboard camera shows the booster’s descent.

We recently got to speed around the famed Road America circuit in the new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR with pro driver Chris Winkler. Thanks to its amazing aerodynamics, grippy tires, and insane 645 hp 8.4L V10, this street-legal Viper can go around a track faster than any other.

Corridor Digital created an awesome Star Wars fan film using on-board POV camera footage captured from drones, combined with exterior shots and VFX. The drone pilots from Rotor Riot deserve an award for maneuvering around that bridge. Behind the scenes footage here.

Amazing first-person footage of the Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft as it makes its way through Earth’s atmosphere and safely lands on the ground 339,178 feet below. We loved hearing all the sounds it makes on its journey. See just how fast it was coming in here.
