Awesome Stunts

It’s officially summer and it’s like a steambath in the city, so watching all the superior wakeboarding footage in Parker Walbeck’s video for Devin Supertramp is cooling us off. And maybe making us a little jealous too.

Despite a temperature of over 1500°F under its moving crust, this man has the cojones to walk quickly across the surface of this smoldering lava flow. At least he had shoes on, but we’re still surprised those survived.

With most of the series focused on the trial rider’s personal trials and tribulations, this clip puts Danny back on his bike, conquering a set of ridiculously oversize props like a kid in a toy store. The ball bounces are classic.

A high school long jumper attempts to jump over his friend’s car, smacking into it on the way. Incredibly, he lands on his feet, but only after smashing its windshield. Needless to say, do not try this at home.

Parkour artist Ryan Doyle waxes philosophical and demonstrates his acrobatic talents on the streets, alleyways, rooftops, stages, oil fields and other diverse and exotic locales of Azerbaijan’s seaside capital city.

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.

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.

We’ve always admired Danny MacAskill’s talents on his bike; in the first of this six-part series we get to know the man behind the bike, working through concerns and options for his injuries, and reflecting on his career.

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.

GoPro sent rally racer Ken Block to a snowy course in Russia armed with a barrage of its HD Hero2 cameras to watch him do what he does best. The song is Android Porn by Kraddy.
