Ion may not be the first name you think of when it comes to action cameras (or the second), but the company has been around for a few years. The original Air Pro came in third in our action camera Battlemodo back in June of 2012

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]

Every once and a while we need a reminder to be more awesome by doing more awesome. Jump off a cliff. Sky dive. Race a plane. Ride a bike. Surf. Anything. When you attach a GoPro to your head and put a thumping electronic beat as your soundtrack, life will always seem so awesome.

The tricks the wakeboarders pull makes for a visually magnetic picture. It’s like painting rainbows! More »

Scooters, as a whole, aren’t exactly the coolest thing a person can ride. Maybe you had some ‘fun’ with them when you were a fifth grader but if you brought your scooter to the skate park now? The insults hurled at you would re-arrange the English dictionary. Well, unless, you rode scooters like these guys. The tricks they pull are brain hemorrhaging amazing. More »

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 »

Yeah, it’s absolutely an ad for Red Bull but so what. This extreme athlete-powered Rube Goldberg ‘machine’ is even better than the free running machine they pulled off a month ago. Watch the entire thing and you won’t believe how they use world famous athletes like Lolo Jones and Ryan Scheckler to pull off one stunning act after another. More »

ICEdot crash sensor notifies your loved ones after you eat it, tells them where to find you
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Between powered gear shifters, electric motors and BMX-mounted mixers, bicycles just keep getting better — but no amount of technological augmentation can sidestep the old adage: safety first. Yes, the helmet is a classic and necessary accessory for cyclists, snowboarders and more. ICEdot and SenseTech hope to take the traditional brain bucket to new heights next year with a Bluetooth equipped crash sensor. Take a spill? The ICEdot sensor will take note of the impact and start a countdown on its companion app. If the rider doesn’t stop the timer before it reaches zero, ICEdot will notify emergency contacts with the user’s last known GPS location and data on the severity of the accident. The accessory doesn’t have a firm release date just yet, but it will make an appearance at the Interbike trade show later this month. Smartphone augmented safety will set you back about $200 when it launches next year. Check out the sensor’s teaser video after the break.
