Stephanie Dietze and Lutz Eichholz unicycled downhill from the Cima Ombretta Orientale, a 9,900ft. peak of the Dolomites. They make it look easy. Turn subtitles on. Image by Markus Greber.

DC Shoes sent freestyle motocross expert Robbie Maddison to the military airplane graveyard in Tuscon, Arizona, where he used aircraft parts, shipping containers and a flatbed semi for jumps.

When they’re not stunting on their motorcycles, ThoseCrazyTexans are unwisely hanging out on runways. We can’t decide who is crazier in this clip: the people on the ground or the plane’s pilot.

The guys from Fast, Furious and Funny hook up with Vsauce to see if they can lift a car using ordinary rubber bands. Sure, they use a tiny Nissan Micra, but it’s still an impressive feat.

A compilation of some of the best BMX, street trial and off-road bike action. We first spotted it over on Danny MacAskill’s Facebook page. If it’s good enough for Danny, it’s good enough for us.

Promotional filmmaker Devin Graham went to Budapest to shoot a video featuring Face Team, a Hungarian acrobatic sports group. Watch their outrageous dunks and other basketball tricks.

Rally Driver Guerlain Chicherit attempts to pull off the world’s first unassisted backflip in a car, driving a John Cooper Works Mini Countryman. You’ll have to wait to see him land, though. Damned marketers.

Daniel Ilabaca, William Spencer, Tim “Livewire” Shieff pull off parkour moves using a driverless moving car as a prop. You can see the outtakes here. The song is Queens & Kings by Malakai.

Eos Karlsson’s stunt reel. Karlsson is also an actor, acrobat, dancer and filmmaker who has worked in movies, videogames and live-action shows. Worth watching for his train stunt alone.
