The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Colombia will be taking place in a few weeks but meanwhile, the Winter X Games (the premier action sports event in the world) in Aspen, Colorado are set to commence on January 28 and run through January 31. The Winter X Games will feature more than 200 [...]

You think you can tell the difference between what is real and what is fake? What is actually scary and what is out of this world a special effect? Let’s test your eye. Pay close attention as we dive into the minds and bodies of surfers.

Powerade knows when to be in the right place at [...]

People with too much free time are funny. See they have this tendency to take the most normal everyday thing and turn it into something that can grievously injure themselves. Now take this example and apply it to sports and you get some serious hardcore sporting events. Granted my idea of “football except you replace [...]

Do you ever wonder why there are so many videos of people getting hit by cars out there? I don’t know what possesses these skaters, bikers, and random pedestrians to step in front of a moving vehicle but damn. Now, I’m not an idiot. I know that most of these collisions were horrible accidents and [...]

A while back we ran an article that was in honor of the great failures of the world, because lets face it, every time a bike jump crashes, every time a car explodes, every time a guy gets hit in the face on video there is a certain degree of failure involved. Well, upon our [...]

Let’s face it, as action fans we find action failures just as exciting as action successes. Insane jumps over fire pits and brutal martial arts fist fights may be amusing, but crazy bike crashes and horrible injuries are astounding. It’s the whole “can’t look away from a train wreck” phenomenon. It’s downright shocking and grotesquely [...]

Breakaway objects have been the constant companion of stunt men for some time. Without them, stunt men would repeatedly get injured whenever they would get thrown through windows or tables or chairs, and the high mortality rate would make replacing them difficult to a degree several times to the side of “uncomfortable”. Luckily, very early [...]

Let’s talk about hang gliding for a second. It’s obvious that as action fans we have some sort of strange infatuation with heights. Base Jumping, Sky Diving, Bungee Jumping, all of these take heights and combine them with artful falling to create an experience filled with pure adrenaline. Still, all that it is, is artful [...]

Fire Spinning. Let that phrase sink into you for a bit. It’s spinning fire around your body at high speeds. If you are an action fan you should be drooling all over yourself right now, but even if you aren’t into the danger porn as much as your next explosion-loving comrade you have to [...]

Action junkies have always been a fan of extreme sports. Much like the thrill you get from watching a well made action movie, extreme sports showcase technical skill in dangerous situations to keep us on the edge of our seat. When we think of normal extreme sports we think of skateboarding, biking, rollerblading, [...]

I stumbled upon something very strange the other day while browsing videos on my daily websites. It was a video, of someone willing fully standing in front of a car as it barreled down the street and hit him dead on with all of his friends watching. Now, that was a stupid idea, but what [...]

Do not try this at home! I repeat, Do not under any circumstances try this at home!
We are showing you these videos, because these people are totally and utterly idiotic. They woke up one day, and decided “hey, you know what I want to do, make a bomb” and they did. Most of their [...]

Let’s be immature for a while. You know what is absolutely hilarious? Watching people get hit in the nuts. It doesn’t matter how, or why, but what does matter is that nut-shots are some of the high points of Internet vid. It is downright hilarious that this many people are willing to get their balls [...]

It’s a common law of the action movie world that everything looks cooler in slow motion. Gunshots, punches to the face, explosions, car crashes … all are fun to watch at normal speed but downright awesome at high speed. The reason, well brace yourselves folks, but its scientific. When you slow down any event you [...]

August 11 marks one of the saddest anniversaries in the history of daredevil bike jumping. It was 13 years ago that the great Eddie Kidd, a multiple world-record jumper and Hollywood stuntman, performed a seemingly easy stunt — if there is such a thing — that left him severely brain-damaged and crippled for life.
Kidd, [...]
