We can’t really recommend covering your skateboard with gasoline and kerosene. We suggest leaving such dangerous stunts to boarders Jonathan and Jason Bastian, and the watchful 2000fps eye of BeyondSlowMotion.

A dangerous trick achieved with soapy water and butane fuel is made just that more awesome to watch by capturing it in slow-motion. Go behind the scenes with BeyondSlowMotion here. Needless to say, do not try this at home.
Shanks FX latest clip not only creates amazingly huge, prismatic soap bubbles for us to enjoy, it captures their inevitable failure in spectacular slow-motion, and shows us a thing or two about how to make our own massive bubbles.
By covering skateboards with chalk, then capturing boarders’ moves in ultra slow-mo, we’re able to witness the precise trajectory of each board as it flies through the air. Video by Beyond Slow Motion. (Thanks Darren!)
There’s no love lost for the late 1990s Chevrolet Cavalier convertible. So unless you have a soft spot for this ugly, anemic ride, you won’t be upset when the Slow Mo Guys blow one to smithereens – in glorious 2500fps slow motion.
Rated RR exacts revenge against the finicky beer keg for all the foam it’s sprayed in countless parties. Trusts us, there’s a keg somewhere in that cloud of flame. Detonation cord gets rid of the foam, but it gets rid of the beer too.
A beautifully-shot promo for the 2013 summer wearables collection from Staple captures models flying through the air in slow-motion, using a Phantom Miro camera. A truly imaginative way to showcase the clothes.

Distort conducts an informal test of human reflexes by having people catch a ruler that’s dropped at random. But what impressed us most was the $20 bill test in the beginning. We wonder if there’s anyone who can catch it.

The Slow Mo Guys present surface tension in action. At 2,500fps playback, you’ll see that a small drop of water actually bounces off of the surface of a larger body of water. Skip to about 1:05 for the replay.
