Awesome Stunts

Aaron Cook Power Tumbling

Aaron Cook Power Tumbling

Pardon the horrible screenshot, but gymnast Aaron Cook really was a blur in this clip, which shows him practicing a power tumbling routine. The track he’s on has springy fiberglass rods, hence the insane bounce.

Slo-Mo Shaolin Backflip

Slo-Mo Shaolin Backflip

No, don’t try this at home, but it’s cool to hear Red Bull World Champ freestyle motocross biker Levi Sherwood describe how to do his Shaolin Backflip trick, and see it in slo-mo.

Human Newton’s Cradle

Human Newton’s Cradle

We’ve seen a Newton’s cradle made out of light bulbs. This one’s made of people. Shark Helmets set it up to demonstrate the shock-absorbing capability of its motorcycle helmets. Don’t try this at home.

Wingsuit Cave Flight

Wingsuit Cave Flight

Wingsuit flyer Alexander Polli keeps on living 2013 the way he started it: daring death to come get him. This time he flies at about 155mph through an extremely narrow hole in a mountainside.

A group of 30 skiers took to the powdery hills at Mont Saint-Saveur in Quebec, held hands, and pulled off a simultaneous backflip, like it was just a typical day on the slopes. More pics here. Watch it from another angle here.

Sellotape Car Lift

Sellotape Car Lift

Fast, Furious and Funny team up with Vsauce for another edition of what we like to call “Will It Lift?” This time they put Sellotape to the test against a Ford Mondeo. Don’t get too excited about the midsize sedan going bang though.

Jumpy the Dog

Jumpy the Dog

You’ll believe a dog can fly (and skateboard and surf) after you watch this rapid-fire stunt reel showcasing 20 of Jumpy the border collie’s amazing feats of agility, balance, speed and general dog smarts.

Urban Wingsuit Flying

Human Slingshot 2X

Human Slingshot 2X

Devin Graham flings summer at us as we watch these folks head 60 feet into a lake at 40mph on an inner tube. Minimal broken bones and only two people knocked unconscious – our typical Tuesday.

Falling out of Love

This couple was with Devin Graham when he filmed the insane rope swing video. Do you think it’s awesome to have a loved one that pushes you to try new things? This guy thinks so. In literal terms.

Insane Rope Swing

No-Handed Push-ups

It’s difficult enough to do one-handed push-ups, but in Russia they do everything just a little tougher than we do, as is proven by the man with the world’s strongest toes. (Yes, we know it’s a trick.)

Car Acrobatics

Car Acrobatics

Watch as driver Paulo Martinho pops backwards wheelies, dizzying spins and all sorts of unnatural maneuvers in his little yellow Peugeot. Driving on those rims can’t possibly be good for them.
