Biker Pulls Off Amazing Stunts in a Toy-ish Landscape [video]

This video has got the stuff. A creative setting, and mindblowing stunts, the whole package. Daredevil biker Danny MacAskill’s new film shows him riding his bicycle in a landscape that is inspired by gigantic toys and a setting similar to a toy room. Using these as props, the biker does unimaginable and wondrous stunts, just like we sometimes made the toy-bikers do.

Human Slingshot [video]

Sponsored by Vooray, Devin Graham built this giant Human Slingshot Slip and Slide in Utah.

We filmed this in Paradise Utah, on private property. Vooray built the jump and rigged the whole thing together. The distance of the lake was 150 feet. Several people had been flung 120 feet during the filming of the video. And actually… 3 people passed out on impact from hitting the water…. so I wouldn’t suggest trying it at home :)

Man plays underwater tennis with shark, shark looks unimpressed

One big story this guy will tell forever in his life is the time when he went into an aquarium, and played tennis with a shark. Some people will refuse to believe the story, others will look on in awe, and this guy will continue with the story. In another turn to the story, the guy is actually testing Dunlop’s new Biomimetic tennis range at the London Aquarium. Since the racket is inpired by shark-skin, someone thought it would be a great idea to throw a guy into a tank with sharks, have him play tennis, and see how much drag the racket produced. Still, cool story bro.
