FMX biker Josh Sheehan made history this week as the first motocross rider in the world to complete a triple backflip.
He performed the stunt at Pastranaland in Maryland on April 28, and he has pent the last year preparing for it.
Travis Pastrana, who owns the park, was the first to perform a double backflip back in 2006.
Just watching this might make your palms sweat.
A bunch of thrill seekers in Dubai recently leapt 1300 feet off the Princess Tower, which is known as the world’s second tallest residential-only building (next to 432 Park Avenue in New York).
The stunt dubbed “Dream Jump Dubai” was a collaboration between SkydiveDubai, XDubai and a Polish company called Dream World which has created a mechanism that allows you to “experience freefall without deploying a parachute.”
The DreamJump system uses multiple zip lines and a harness, and it lets you drop for a longer amount of time than you can with just a bungee cord.
“Bungee is just one rope. This has two, so it is safer and more comfortable,” the creator, Thomas Zielinski, told The National. “If you use bungee, the experience can be like giving birth. This is more like eating an ice cream.”
Only ice cream doesn’t come with the risk of ending up on the ground flattened like a pancake.
There were also about 558 terrifying base jumps off the platform over the course of 6 days.
Talk about “monk”-eying around.
A group of Franciscan monks in Jerusalem was caught on video this week having a little fun in the snow.
Storms recently blanketed Israel with some cities receiving their first snowfall since the 1990s.
Watch these guys take a break from their religious duties to frolic in the white powder wearing dark hooded robes.
Before all the comment wars start: Dean Potter is an expert jumper who has done many stunts with live human beings strapped to his back before. This is no amateur move. And hey, his pup Whisper seems to have a pretty good time!
