Awesome Stunts

(PG-13: Language) MrSlackline jumps from the Thug Mansion, a huge webbed structure that he built with nearly 100 other people. They used 21,000ft. of cords to make two large nets, both suspended from a height of 400ft. and connected by an 80ft. double slackline.

From the “don’t try this at home” file, watch what happens when this car is tethered to the rear of a moving vehicle, while its occupants swerve recklessly across the road. Fortunately, the car they’re torturing is Russia’s abysmal Lada Samara.

Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk pulled off a crazy trick that seemed to defy gravity – as he zipped through a custom built obstacle that formed a horizontal loop. Of course, the attempt was not without a few painful failures.

Off-road race champ BJ Baldwin takes his 800 hp trophy truck through the forests and urban jungles of the Pacific Northwest to hunt down an elusive sasquatch named Bruce, who has a speedy off-road vehicle of his own. For more fun, check out Recoil 1 and Recoil 2.

James Kingston and a fellow free climber snuck up to the top platform of the Eiffel Tower. They ended up staying around 9 hours on the iconic structure, partly because they were spotted by security. They were eventually arrested but were let go without charges.

When we first saw how slowly this car was going around the racetrack, we figured that it had a mechanical problem. But it turns out it’s got much bigger issues than we could have ever imagined. (Thanks Robert!)

RJ Anderson takes the third version of UTVUnderground and Holz Racing’s souped up Polaris RZR XP Turbo through Ohio’s old steel mills, factories and train yards. The 1500lb. XP1K3 has a turbocharged 200hp engine, Walker Evans shocks and Holz’s invincible suspension.

A couple of tiny cars perform a stunt in which they balance on a fulcrum like a giant teeter-totter. We’re just impressed that the driver on the left didn’t back off the end of the ramp.

A single-engine plane comes in for a landing in the snow, then its pilot decides to hot dog a bit by drifting his plane through the white stuff like a car doing donuts in a parking lot. Once he’s had his fill, he proceeds to take back off again. Show off.

Just a couple of weeks after he blew our minds with the world’s first BMX triple front-flip, Nitro Circus’ whiz kid Ryan Williams is back with another intense feat, pulling off a trick that used to be performed only with scooters.

It wasn’t that long ago that we saw BMX rider Ryan Williams pull off an awe-inspiring single front-flip on his bike, and now he’s bested that by 3x, with an epic triple version of the same stunt – though not without some worthy competition and numerous spills along the way.

The crazy free-climbing duo On the Roofs shared their latest video – a view from the very top of the 1,094ft. Shimao International Plaza in Shanghai, China. We nearly peed ourselves when they got to the lightning rod.

Extreme athlete Graham Dickinson shared his recent wingsuit flight from France’s Le Brévent mountain not to show off, but to point out the skill of his buddy Dario Zanon, who shot this video and kept up with Graham the whole way.

For their latest Built For It Trials video, Cat pitted Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson (aka “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones) against their D10T Dozer in the ultimate tug of war. Will Europe’s strongest man be defeated by his 77-ton nemesis and frigid Icelandic climate?

Track star Lolo Jones is used to speed – jumping over hurdles, not doing barrel rolls. Red Bull dropped Lolo into a plane with stunt pilot Kirby Chambliss to see how she’d take to the skies. Lolo’s reactions are priceless, but Kirby’s calm demeanor is even more astounding.

Trials rider Kenny Belaey demonstrates his incredible balance as he makes his way to the top of a rock, and then proceeds to ride his bike across a slackline over a 367 foot drop, all the while facing the challenges of the ~8900 foot altitude. Thank god for safety gear.

(PG-13 Language) It’s been a while since ICON Motorsports tore up the roads for our enjoyment. ICON riders Ernie and Nick find themselves stuck in a rut, until Officer Dan sends them on a mission to get them back up on their mighty steeds. (Thanks Matt!)

Finland’s StuntFreaksTeam tears up dirt, dust and gravel as they perform burnouts, spins, wheelies, and more on their motorcycles. If that weren’t enough, there’s a drift car that wants in on the action too.

Jaguar gave their all new F-PACE sports crossover the most dramatic entrance possible, sending it and stunt driver Terry Grant through a massive loop measuring a record-breaking 62.6 feet tall, and exerting nearly 6.5G along the way.

A basejumper takes the most harrowing route to his jump-off point as he slides down a treacherous stretch of cable that nearly takes his fingers off as he picks up speed. Might we suggest a pair of gloves? And jump from some place safe, like the top of a skyscraper.

We honestly have no idea what insanity was going through the mind of bicyclist Primož Ravnik as he set off straight down a 200-foot-tall dam without a jump ramp. The only thing between him and a certain demise was a small pool of water at the bottom.

Some backyard daredevils decided to put to the test the long-held belief that Volvos are some of the safest and most durable cars on the road. Their demolition derby approach is extreme, but the result is unquestionable. This ’94 Volvo 850 appears to be unkillable.

Red Bull BMX rider Drew Bezanson teamed up with professional ramp builders to make a couple of crazy ramps using shipping containers – one of the familiar sights in Drew’s hometown of Truro, Nova Scotia.
