Surfer Just About Gobbled Up By Humpback Whale
The third in our triage of close encounters of the Marine kind off sunny California. And while we’ve seen some pretty funky sh*t on this blog, especially off the coast of California, I gotta say this one will make you soil yourself more than any other.

Sick 35-Foot Bike Jumping Into Pond
I have no idea where this is, I’m thinking California maybe, but I am just so digging this video, of these bad-ass mountain bikers who do the 35 foot leap into the air and the subsequently landing into this gentle pond. Love the music, love the picture, love some of these ridiculous moves these guys [...]

Speed Flying By Halvor Angvik, Norwegian Daredevil
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 [...]

Sledding Behind a Train
I guess this guy didn’t feel like paying the fare…so he hitched a ride on a sled! Not as effective in summer I guess. You could try it with rollerblades though.

Funniest Touchdown Dances in History
I’m starting this posting with a confession and an apology. The following content is not related to adventure travel, and is so cringe-worthy that I need to say I’m sorry to you in advance, because you’re about to laugh and cry at the same time.

Illegal Wakeboarding in Amsterdam
The red light district is for tourists. These adrenaline junkies have found a much more original way to explore the vice sink of Europe. This whole video has the feel of a BASE jump. I love how they stay just one step ahead of the authorities. The video is in another language – German maybe? [...]

Surfing With a Llama
Oh man, where do I start with this one. This guy trains animals to surf as a hobby. He’s spent ten years training dogs how to surf, and was looking to broaden his horizons, so he’s now surfing with a llama. Yes, a llama. The funny thing is, that sounds like [...]

One Kayak + Skydiver Feeling Stupid = Good Times!
Some things just go together. Olive oil and garlic, Rocky and Bullwinkle. And, um, skydiving and kayaks. You’re thinking, What has this guy been smoking? The truth is, I spend way too much time surfing YouTube, and yes, I do need to get out more. But this video is just epic. I wonder if it [...]
