Awesome Stunts

In this insane stunt, motorcycle rider Cody Elkins hit a ramp while pilot Skip Stewart flew his plane directly beneath him. And the guys from Pixelworkers and AeroMedia Group were on hand to capture it all in slow-mo.

Freestyle motocross rider Ronnie Renner flew 34 feet into the air to win the Moto X Step Up competition, capturing his impressive feat on his GoPro. Amazingly, this isn’t Ronnie’s record. He did 47 feet last year.

Joining in the great tradition of wingsuit flyers going through narrow gaps, Sebastian Alvarez zoomed into a 39ft. space between two buildings after being dropped from a paraglider. The song is Röyksopp’s Keyboard Milk.

The fearless James Kingston once again sets our toes atingle with a POV video of him conquering another London landmark. You might say “seen one crane climb, seen em all,” but the huge gap he soars over might convince you otherwise.

Danny MacAskill makes a triumphant return to form in this short film in which he performs mindblowing bike tricks among the ruins of a once-bustling town destroyed by flooding almost 30 years ago. Filmed by Dave Sowerby.

Photographer Darren Dyk of Beyond Slow Motion captured the mad skills and extreme stunts of Nitro Circus Live through the lens of his slow-mo camera, letting us see their ramp flips and trick in more detail than ever before.

The guys from Nitro Circus have attempted motorcycle backflips with two or three people riding on a single bike, and failed spectacularly. So what’s the only logical thing to do? Try it with four guys, of course.

Mountain bikes with 29″ wheels can take on any terrain, but critics say they’re not good for tackling corners. Specialized Bikes and freerider Matt Hunter say otherwise. Do it on a sidewalk!

The Mazda Laguna Seca racetrack is famous for its corkscrew drop, which combines a steep elevation change with a nasty blind entry. And while this challenges all who try it in a car, it just looks like a ton of fun when driven on a tricycle.

Following up on their giant round of Jenga, Caterpillar shows off the durability of their rugged Cat B15 smartphone by first dropping them in a vat of water, then running over 600 of them with a 4.6-ton multi-terrain loader.

Ronnie Shalvis dons yet another costume for his latest parkour reel, paying tribute to Marvel’s web-slinging hero, and makes us realize that a real-life Spidey isn’t actually that improbable. Just don’t experiment with spider venom, Ronnie.

Professional stuntman Ronnie Shalvis shows us some of the fastest ways to get around cars… as well as the most tedious ways of getting out of them. The Saturn was only slightly harmed in the making of this video.

While we prefer that helicopters we fly in remain upright, Red Bull helicopter pilot Chuck Aaron demonstrates some of the stomach-churning maneuvers you can pull off in a chopper if you really know what you’re doing.

Skydiving partners Vincent Reffet and Frederic Fugen set a new world record by jumping from the very top of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, which is nearly 2,800ft. tall. POV footage please!

The guys from BKM Productions take take us on a ride inside one of their stunt cars as they show off their ability to drive on two wheels. It’s a cool perspective, but we’d be more impressed if one of them got out and changed a tire.

A group of Russian firefighters has a little time on their hands between calls and decides to do something fun with all those high-pressure hoses they have lying around. Sure, it’s a waste of water, but it still looks like fun.

Geoff Gulevich’s vertigo-inducing POV footage from his first run at the 2013 Red Bull Rampage freeride mountain biking contest. It’s the exact same event where Kelly McGarry backflipped his way through a 72ft gap. You crazy people.

Britain-based circus group Circulus aims to push the boundary of their craft by creating bespoke acrobatic performances in “found and forgotten spaces”, such as this abandoned factory.

In celebration of his 100th YouTube video, parkour artist Ronnie Shalvis put together this compilation of stunts from each of his first 99 clips, as he jumps, flips, wall runs, and generally entertains with his impressive acrobatic skills.

Red Bull Air Race aerobatic pilot Péter Besenyei pulled a Luke Skywalker, flying his tiny Extra 300S D-EFBY plane through the narrow 70-foot-wide Corinth Canal with just about 20 feet of clearance on each side of his wing tips.

40 years ago, a wire-walker broke into the World Trade Center to showcase his skills. Last year, four BASE jumpers sneaked into and jumped off the new One World Trade Center tower for a late night thrill. Skip to 2:30 for the jump.

Behind the wheel of this powerful 2500hp Peterbilt semi is stunt driver Mike Ryan, as he does his best Ken Block impression hooning around between freight containers and evading capture. Ignore the acting. Enjoy the driving.
