Awesome Stunts

We love human Rube Goldberg vids; here, the Red Bull Kluge combines the agile athletic prowess of Lolo Jones, Danny MacAskill, Robbie Maddison and more with complex machinery. (Thanks everyone!)

Skyfall’s coattail marketing continues with this fun stunt that was pulled at a premiere event for the new Bond flick to promote Sony’s waterproof Xperia acro S smartphone undercover style.

While many of us will be glued to our Xbox 360 controllers tonight, Richard Ryan of RatedRR is busy jumping out of an airplane in a HALO wingsuit instead of playing video games.

Here’s a less silly take on Assassin’s Creed by Devin Graham, featuring Ronnie Shalvis. The parkour is still a little over-the-top, but it’s still fun to see how Connor might move in real life.

Ozzy the dog stands upright on a tightrope. He’s isn’t as good at slacklining as us humans, but he’s working on it. Watch him take the next step and learn how to walk along a tightrope here.

An amazing stunt as a performer balances himself at the top of a tall vertical pole and spins around like a whirligig. It’s about the only scenario where a vertical video is acceptable.

Either the guy in this video is the craziest daredevil we’ve seen in a while, or his pals who shot the video are awesome VFX artists. Here’s the ramp he launched from, but we want helmetcam footage!

There are lots of ways to get across town, but Phil Doyle shows us that taking the rooftops, Mirror’s Edge-style is the fastest (if not the safest) way across the city of Cambridge.

We’re pretty sure that the skinny bikes designed for the Tour de France weren’t designed for street trials and wall-riding, but that didn’t stop Martyn Ashton from using his $16,000 carbon fiber bike that way.

(NSFW: Language) It seems dodge ball has become more complex than throwing and dodging. Watch as a player goes from defense to offense in one badass motion. Dodge ball level: Cirque du Soleil.

A documentary about wingsuit flyer Espen Fadnes, whose love for the outdoors led him to the sport. We’ll never get tired of listening to the sound he creates as he speeds to the ground.

Is there any ride that people can’t do stunts in? Watch Kevin Kartchner, Colby Thomas and their friends pull off stunts that will make your shins and crotch cringe. The latest from Devin Supertramp.

Watch 19-year old Mitch Baldry pull off flips, whips and more flips at the Knox Skate Park in Australia in this video shot by Infinity List. We are terribly afraid for your head and neck dude.

Devin Supertramp’s latest clip features a real-life Altaïr jumping from roofs, walls, scaffolds and other urban scenery. Stunts performed by Ronnie Shalvis. See a cool behind-the-scenes clip here.

Highliner Faith Dickey does something no sane person would do, crossing a line strung between two speeding Volvo trucks before they run into a pair of tunnels. Amazing, but a big bowl of crazy.

The all-female Pearls of Russia skydiving team pull off a spectacular parachuting stunt, in which a whopping 88 members linked together in mid-air, forming a red, white and blue flower.

Ken Block returns for the latest installment of his mad-hooning video series for DC Shoes. Ken amps up the stunts and difficulty level as he takes to the iconic and punishing streets of San Francisco.

Naruto mistakes sake for water and Rock Lee goes all out in the continuation of the Naruto fan film by the Thousand Pounds Action Company. Skip to 9:30 if you’ve already seen the first part.

The Hot Wheels jump stunt was impressive, and we rather enjoyed Top Gear’s buggy loop – but that was nothing compared to this stunt with two cars racing through a double loop at the same time.

With a little help from the gale force winds of tropical storm Debby, watch as this kite surfer takes full advantage of mother nature’s power to jump over a pier. Stupid? Yes. Amazing? Yes.

F1 driver David Coulthard takes on pro-golfer Jake Shepherd to see if he can land a golf ball inside of his speeding SLS AMG Roadster, with the car not hitting the start line until the ball is driven.

Nik Wallenda is the first man to cross Niagara Falls on a high wire. It took him over 25 mins to cross the 1,500 ft gap. We can hardly believe he allowed interviews while he was walking.

While it’s seemingly not feasible on a skateboard, we’ve witnessed a car doing a 360° loop before, but TopGear Live’s record stunt managed to twist a vehicle not just through one loop, but two in a row.
