Awesome Stunts

File Cemre Candar’s latest video under “dumb things to never try,” as he loaded up his bathtub with over 1200 bottles of chili sauce, then took a dip in it. This makes his chocolate and beer baths look like the work of a Rhodes Scholar.

If you thought the guys who climbed to the top of giant smokestacks had balls of steel just getting up there, daredevil Flaviu Cernescu decided to juggle some oranges and ride his unicycle at the top of an 840 foot-tall tower. Oh yeah, the bricks were loose too.

Because it wouldn’t be a Colin Furze invention if it’s not motorized, the mad engineer strapped a paraglider’s powerful engine to his already crazy 360º swing. It wasn’t strong enough to throw him off, but we’re pretty sure it made him throw up.

This behind-the-scenes featurette for the Assassin’s Creed movie shows how they recreated the game’s trademark leap of faith mechanic. Stuntman Damien Walters actually did a 125ft freefall, but not into a stack of hay.

Freestyle BMX phenom Mark Webb pulls off one insane trick after another in this badass film by Jordan Bareham. Bikes are quite lightweight these days, but Webb’s violent flips must still take a lot of strength and balls. The track is Glitch Mob’s Seven Nation Army remix.

“I get motion sickness, I don’t particularly like heights, and I don’t like going upside down.” Regardless of his feelings, madman inventor Colin Furze built himself an insane swing that lets him flip all the way up and over to a height of more than 31 feet.

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.

(PG-13: Language) There are few greater pains than stepping on a LEGO block without shoes on. So to voluntarily run barefoot on top of a seemingly endless flow of the pointy plastic bricks seems completely masochistic. Then again, this video is from the guys who did this.

On 7/30/2016, daredevil Luke Aikins recently jumped from an airplane at 25,000 feet, and headed towards Earth without a chute. The trick to him not being splattered across the desert at the end of his 2-minute freefall? A giant net to break his fall.

An offshoot of Nitro Circus, Nitro World Games is all about pulling off the most amazing vert tricks on inline skates, skateboards, scooters, BMX and motorcycles. Highlights include a BMX 1080º front flip and an FMX double front flip. Full show here.

BASE jumpers are always looking for new places to jump from, but in the case of Chris Douggs McDougall and Jimmy Poucher, they took to the air via a giant catapult, which exerted more than 6Gs on their bodies as they were flung sky high at speeds up to 125 mph.

Here’s a completely bonkers stunt in which aerobatic pilot Melissa Andrzejewski not only flies just a couple of feet from the ground, but does it while tightrope walker Sketchy Andy Lewis and freestyle Moto X rider Jimmy Fitzpatrick hang just overhead.

The world’s hottest daredevil, Roberta Mancino, recently took a helicopter ride over Chile’s active Villarrica volcano, and proceeded to jump out wearing her wingsuit. Props to Sebastian Alvarez, who went along for the ride, along with photographer Carlos Pedro Briceño.

The New York Times Magazine enlisted photographer Jimmy Chin and safety expert Jamison Walsh to climb to the tippy top of the spire on Manhattan’s 1 World Trade Center, and shared this eye-popping 360º video of the journey. We only wish the video were longer.

The highlight of the first season of TNT’s slam dunk competition The Dunk King is this crazy creation from known rim-wrecker Haneef Munir aka Young Hollywood. The man got so much air he found time to jam in two balls at once.

This is probably the closest us muggles will get to playing Quidditch in real life. In this commercial for Colombian telecoms company ETB, a group of skydivers played Hogwart’s dangerous game en route to the ground, complete with brooms and a hoop.
