THE BEST Red Bull

Infiniti Red Bull Racing drivers Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo go over the adjustments they made to their Formula One car in response to the 2014 rule changes, which focus on fuel efficiency and safety.

It’s hard enough to stand up on the sidewalk with hurricane-like 80mph wind gusts, but they didn’t stop windsurfers from taking advantage of the icy cold massive waves off the coast of Cornwall U.K. to catch some insane air.

“I’m coming home now.” A humbling and nail-biting view of Felix Baumgartner’s 24mi free fall from the edge of space, captured through GoPro Hero2 cameras mounted on his balloon and suit. One of the best videos you’ll ever see.

Red Bull took five-time X-Games Gold Medalist Daniel Dhers to the streets of Lima, Peru. Dhers performed tricks on ramps mounted on the back of moving trailer trucks. We’d love to see Bob Burnquist’s version of this.

The Red Bull skate team took over an office space on the 23rd floor of a high rise in our sweet home of Chicago but opted to keep pushing their decks as opposed to pencils. Wonder if they had any board meetings? Great pics of the day here.

The Red Bull Air Force team took to the skies over Rio de Janeiro to jump out of a helicopter and fly by the iconic Cristo Redentor statue in their wingsuits and fan-powered parachutes. More Rio footage here and here. Pics here.

Red Bull calls this multi-discipline relay “the toughest team race in the world.” It includes running up mountains, paragliding, canoeing, and mountain biking. The voices are Dutch, but exhaustion is a universal language.

Some of the best entries in the 2013 Red Bull Illume sports photography contest. You can see the top 250 images and the story behind them on the Red Bull Illume website, Flickr page or on the free tablet apps.

Red Bull’s stunt flying team takes to the skies at the UK’s Sunderland Airshow, and gives us a dizzying eagle’s eye view from the inside the cockpits and along the wings of their single-engine flying machines.

We’re completely fascinated by the speed and dexterity of race car pit crews, and now we know why. Watch in awe as Red Bull’s Formula 1 crew works their 2.05 seconds of magic before the lenses of high-speed cameras.

Although the stunts are from his Imaginate video series, it’s still fun to see Danny MacAskill as he plays on giant toys from his childhood from a new perspective. This POV footage was shot 100% on GoPro’s HD HERO3 camera.

We’ve got enough trouble running on flat surfaces, but at the Red Bull 400 Planica, athletes made their way up an insanely steep 400-meter ski jump hill. Our legs hurt just watching this.

To comemmorate the 60th anniversary of the first ascent to Mt. Everest, 48-year old Valery Rozov jumped off from the north face of Mt. Everest, 23,680 ft above sea level. Skip to 2:45 for the jump.

Red Bull scored the drive of a lifetime, closing off New Zealand’s hairpin-filled Crown Range highway so driver “Mad Mike” Whiddett could burn it up with his 750hp Mazda RX7 as a helicopter captured his hooning from above.

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.

We’ve always admired Danny MacAskill’s talents on his bike; in the first of this six-part series we get to know the man behind the bike, working through concerns and options for his injuries, and reflecting on his career.

Red Bull pro skaters Ryan Sheckler, Ryan Decenzo, Torey Pudwill and Zered Bassett talk about their roots and passion for skating while enjoying a skate trip to Phoenix, Arizona. Track list at the link.

Red Bull Winch Sessions returns to play at one of Wisconsin’s beautiful cranberry bogs, this time to wakeskate. The action begins at 3:15, but we highly recommend watching the whole video.

We love human Rube Goldberg vids; here, the Red Bull Kluge combines the agile athletic prowess of Lolo Jones, Danny MacAskill, Robbie Maddison and more with complex machinery. (Thanks everyone!)

As Red Bull promised, here is footage of David Coulthard driving through the 1.5mi Lincoln Tunnel from the New Jersey side to New York and back in an F1 car. It sounded like gigantic mosquitoes.

An animated preview of Felix Baumgartner’s much hyped record-breaking supersonic freefall from 23 miles above the Earth. Red Bull will stream footage of the real thing when it happens this summer.

It looks like the Stratos project was delayed, but Felix Baumgartner and the Red Bull team are still set on sending him to the edge of space and ensuring he survives the hypersonic fall.

The Art of Flight is an epic love letter to snowboarding, featuring pro athletes in remote locations; outstanding camera work makes us feel like we’re right there with them. (Thanks Zach!)

Here’s Josh Tranby and the Red Bull Winch crew in Tomah, Wisconsin, performing a visually stunning wakeboarding session in a cranberry bog. Yes, you read that right. Who knew? (Thanks Tommy!)
