Dean Potter, World-Record BASE Jump

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 [...]

The Biggest, Baddest, Sickest Jumps Of All Time

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Highest Skydive, Like, Ever Dude

On August 16, 1960, American Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger boarded a helium balloon at Wright Field, Ohio. For the next hour and 31 minutes, Kittinger ascended into the stratosphere.

Leave it to them crazy cats at Red Bull to come up with the sickest, most hardcore stunts ever conceived by someone on, well, Red Bull.  This one’s beyond hardcore.  In this video, Ueli Gegenschatz jumps from a moving truck on the Ataturk aqueduct and dives straight into oblivion.  While there’s obviously a corporate plug [...]

Wanna Hang Out?

Wing-Suit BASE Jump in Norway

There are no words that can really capture the poetry of this video, in which J.T. Holmes and some Norwegian BASE Jumpers glide over the cliffs of Norway. Amazing. Just amazing. I want a wing-suit.

Superheroes Among Us

You’re not gonna see them whipping into a phone booth to don a red cape anytime soon, but there are those among us who do some pretty superhuman things.  Guys like Alain Robert, the Human Spider, who’s climbed some of the world’s tallest buildings, including Petronas Towers and the former World Trade Center with only [...]

Climb and Jump (Off!) The Eiger

Quick, anyone who’s seen The Eiger Sanction, that 1975 Clint Eastwood cliffhanger, raise your hand!  Thought so.  Now, anyone who’s seen someone climb a 13,000 foot mountain without safety equipment, step forward.  Right, now, who’s seen a man jump off that same mountain?  Exactly.  Dean Potter, the 38 year-old American daredevil is in pretty select [...]

How to Catch a Connecting Flight

Ever had to catch a connecting flight?  Daredevil Paul Steiner recently faced the same dilemma.  Thing is, he didn’t feel like waiting for his flight to land, so he opted to transfer from one glider to another – at 2,100 metres above ground.
