Awesome Stunts

Canyoning expert Laso Schaller set a world record for a cliff jump when he leapt off a ~194ft. high cliff in Switzerland. His target landing area was aerated for safety, but he actually missed that spot. Thankfully he came out okay.

Red Bull freerunners Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns combined their athleticism with a variety of optical illusions, camera tricks and an upside down house to make this fun stunt video. Behind the scenes here.

Spencer Seabrooke set a new record for slacklining without any leash (or any balancing or safety equipment for that matter). He walked across a ~210ft. gap from ~950ft. high. Zachary Moxley recorded the feat with his drone.

Daredevil Felix Baumgartner’s latest stunt has him behind the controls of an aerobatic helicopter, hovering dangerously close to drift racer Jakub Przygoński and his 1000hp Toyota GT 86, playing a game of vehicular cat and mouse.

Stunt driver Gregg Godfrey recently smashed his own record for jumping in a big rig semi truck, flying 166 feet across a pair of dirt ramps, paying tribute to the late Evel Knievel. The previous record was just 50 feet. Side view here.

(PG-13) The latest martial arts action film from LBP Stunts Chicago gets going right away, as a man finds himself at the mercy of his captors, and must do what he can to escape and then take revenge on the men who did him wrong.

Jamie O’Brien looks like a badass as he surfs the daunting waves of Tahiti’s Teahupo’o, with his wetsuit lit on fire. We suppose if anything went wrong he could just fall down and dowse himself, but then the massive wave might get him.

Tom Cruise may not be as crazy as Jackie Chan, but he’s awfully close. He didn’t have a double for his airplane stunt in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, which took them eight takes to get right. It should be named MI: Balls of Steel.

After extensive planning, numerous failures, injuries, and an ample dose of hype, Nitro Circus cyclist Jed Mildon has pulled of what was once thought to be physically impossible – a 1440º backflip on his BMX bike.

Acrobat Damien Walters is back with another crazy stunt – what could only be called the first proper bungee jump. Instead of springing back up when he reaches the bottom, he dismounts. See all the prep that went into the stunt here.

We all wanted to swing all the way to the sky when we were kids, but acrobat and stuntman Damien Walters turned that idea up a notch – jumping off a Russian swing at its highest point to fly over an entire house.

We’ve seen wingsuit flights through narrow gaps, but none narrower than this one. Uli Emanuele successfully zipped through a hole that’s just over 6ft. wide between two rock formations. Even fellow BASE jumpers knew it was madness.

Free rider Vittorio Brumotti shows us his superhuman skill and the celestial bodies that are his balls in this jaw-dropping display. Watch him take on all sorts of terrain, from an airplane graveyard to a thin rail by the side of a cliff.

Our bodies ache just watching this 5 year-old girl from India as she breaks the world’s record for the lowest and longest limbo skate, remaining under a series of 7″ tall bars for the entire 196 foot run.

Aerial athlete Roberta Mancino jumps from a helicopter over Panama City at night donning a special wingsuit loaded with white LEDs, making the flyer herself as much of a spectacle as the view beneath her.

Not only did stunt driver Terry Grant do the famous UK hillclimb with two wheels off the ground, he broke the Guinness Record for fastest mile in a car on two wheels, coming in at 2m 10s in the GT-R powered Nissan Juke RS Nismo.
