The Bodhi Tree

Here’s one that’ll make you soil your pants, especially for those of us scared of heights. A nice, visual collection of videos from five of the world’s scariest skyscraper rides.
Of the videos featured. I’d say the Macau SkyJump is the most intense. The CN Tower EdgeWalk is way higher, though I’m not sure which is [...]

Dean Potter just keeps being Dean Potter. The American climber, mountaineer, BASE jumper and general alpine bad-ass has done some freaky things over the years. He slack-lines, he climbs mountains without safety equipment and he base jumps, including this record setting jump with a wing suit.
Turns out Dean’s not one for sitting on his [...]

Dog Power!!! Base Jumping is an art form and, done correctly, is one of the greatest thrills of life…so why should humans get all the fun? A couple of Norwegian girls and their pooch Aro a spunky terrier, had nothing better to do one day, and Aro seems to show an affinity for [...]

Where do people think up this stuff? We’ve seen guys jumping out of planes in kayaks, people waterskiing behind great white sharks. And now, in perhaps the best-looking video ever, a skier makes an absolutely sick cliff jump during an avalanche.
Truthfully, I think somebody was sitting at home one night, took acid and [...]

I honestly think that beavers and BASE Jumpers have a lot in common.  A beaver looks at a pond and thinks “I am so gonna dam that pond.”  A BASE Jumper looks at a huge building and thinks “How quickly can I jump off that bad boy?”
Of course, the bigger the building, the better the [...]

Any video with Dean Potter, high altitudes and no safety harness is gonna be good and this one doesn’t disappoint.  Dean Potter is the American daredevil I blogged about a year ago, and he has a curious habit of climbing mountains without safety equipment, and either jumping off it, or slacklining it (tight-rope walking without [...]

Get ready for some air time!  This video has some seriously amazing, if not demented jumping, from planes, ramps and things that make you go Boom! when you land.  You might recognize some of these jumps from some of my earlier blog posts.  There’s a bit of corporate plugging going on in a few stunts [...]

After watching this video I realized three things.  First I am glad to have Norwegian ancestry because if YouTube is correct, Norwegians have mastered the art of skiing and BASE Jumping and have cojones big enough to fit in a dump truck.  Two, this video, of Norwegian daredevil Halvor Angvik speed flying (if that’s what [...]

More wing-suit footage here of several fliers jumping off Monte Brento in Italy in preparation for The Asgard Project, in which the same guys jump off Mount Asgard in Nunavat, Canada.  I love the high def footage of these guys flying through the Italian mountains and the speeds these guys reach.  Moments like these make [...]

Name your fix.  Some people drink.  Some buy shoes, others eat chocolate.  Heck, some people watch self-help videos to feel alive.  Then there are those, such as this guy who feel alive when jumping off a cliff – and God bless’em for it.  This is one sick video.  To be honest, I can’t believe people [...]
