If you’re looking for a good nervous frantic dizzying hurl today, watch this stunt dripping in crazy by Scott Young. He does a handstand on the edge of a 40-story building because well, why not. The camera is attached to his shoe so you can see how close he is to the building’s edge and how far he is from the ground. One gust of wind and man…

Imagine yourself stuck in traffic. Imagine listening to some Top 40 radio station playing the same 4 songs over and over and wondering about the things you would do if you didn’t have to commute. Imagine your brain numb. And then imagine seeing some psycho bike rider pull off some bike tricks off of a half-pipe on top of a moving truck. In the middle of traffic. That would be fun for everyone.

So like… Uhh… Yeah… Oh my… this is just the van ride up to the Himalayas. As in, this scariness is only the beginning of something even scarier (that would be climbing the damn thing). Mick Fowler shot this video of his van driving up the mountain and it’s so close to the edge of the cliff—we’re talking inches here—that it makes me want to cry just watching the video.

This terrifying two-plane crash somehow miraculously resulted in no fatalities. It’s insane that people could survive after two planes hit each other in mid-air. It’s almost impossible that everyone could survive from the fireball and ensuing chaos after the crash. But they did. Thank God.

Leave it to our friends at Devin Super Tramp to make walking on a tight rope over a canyon look like such a freaking party. To be completely accurate, the people on the rope are actually ‘highlining’ which is like tight roping without the pole. I’d probably pee my pants just from setting one toe on the line. Points for using a Drone to create the tight rope though. [Devin Super Tramp]

This is incredible. Unlike the shark attracting light suits of Tron surfing or the glowing outline of night skiers, seeing a wakeboarder with a light board is like seeing Picasso with a paintbrush. The tricks the wakeboarders pull makes for a visually magnetic picture. It’s like painting rainbows! More »
It’s March, which mean it’s still a little colder than you want it to be. Which means eventually you’ll ask yourself why in the hell is it still cold. Which will lead to yourself questioning why does it have to be cold at all? And then you’ll see this converted silo in Cedar Falls, Iowa and the cold, winter, slushy snow, all of it will make complete sense. The world gets cold so that people can create an epic ice climbing wall. More »
There’s crazy things you can do like racing jet skis. There’s extreme stunts you can pull like sky diving. There’s insanity like base jumping. And then there’s this: jumping off a canyon and swinging yourself on a 300 foot rope swing. You come oh so close to hitting the canyon but pull away at the last moment. It’s heart stopping fun.

I think everybody’s goal for 2013 should be to do something so awesome that you’d be included this wrap up video that shows how incredible humans can be. Yes, I understand that making it your life goal to be included in a YouTube video sounds ridiculously silly but watch it, it’s four minutes of extremely fun living and pushing the human body to the max. Double backflips, car jumps, sport savants, beautiful hand-eye coordination, a disregard for failure—this is the kind of life worth living. [YouTube via Kottke] More »
Because Peter Parker was a nerd, every geek has wondered what it would be like to be Spiderman. Batman was too rich and good looking, Superman wasn’t from this world but Spiderman… he was just like us! So if you want to know what ol’ Spidey goes through on the daily, watch this incredible video filmed with a GoPro HD Hero3. It shows you what it would be like to climb walls and jump across building rooftops like Spiderman. I don’t know if this is crazy awesome or freaking crazy scary. [YouTube via Digg] More »
