    Ok, But Which Device Is Better at Smashing Through Walls?

    The DSi shatters and fragments, which is more effective at maiming and disabling a target. On the other hand, the N97 remains whole, for greater penetration through tough surfaces. Both, however, are fun to look at. More »

    Meh: Epic Water Slide Video Is Fake and Promoting Microsoft Office

    Remember that insane water slide jump video? Unsurprisingly, it was a fake viral video. Surprisingly, it was made to promote…Microsoft Office? More »

    Seriously Incredible Water Slide Jump: Please Be Real

    This video shows a crazy man launching himself off an epically-large water slide and landing perfectly in a kiddie pool very far away from it. Is it fake? I suspect so, but I really want it to be real. More »

    Rhys Millen Screws Up Truck Backflip Yet Again, Keeps Spine Intact This Time

    God is trying to send Rhys Millen a message: quit trying to backflip a truck, you'll hurt yourself. The question is how many times it will it take for him to receive it.

    Video: Base Jumping off the World's Longest Peak2Peak Gondola

    Riding the new Peak2Peak Gondola that connects Whistler's Blackcomb and Whistler Mountain summits, over 2.7 miles, must be exhilarating. But jumping off it is just insane. More »

    Jumping Out of a Plane on an ATV Makes Skydiving, ATVs More Exciting

    Let's be clear here, guys: jumping out of an airplane on a four-wheeler is a bad idea. You will break both the four-wheeler and yourself. That doesn't make watching dudes drive out of the back of an airplane on dirt bikes and four-wheelers any less awesome, however. More »

    Life-Sized Autobot Assembles in French Parking Lot, Doesn't Really Roll Out

    French performance art troupe "Not So Noisy" have spent the last month "assembling" giant, life-sized Autobots from normal cars, and shooting the action from overhead. Of course, they're not really building anything. They're really arranging cars (or people) in an empty parking lot so that it looks like Optimus Prime knocked back a few too many quarts of oil and passed out. But it's awesome. More »

    In a silly PR move, Doritos is beaming an ad for their chips into space, apparently so aliens, when they invade, will attack the Frito-Lay factories first. More »

    Skimming a Dirt Bike Over a Lake at 70MPH Then Flying Off a Jump Involves Confusing Physics

    Noted crazy person Travis Pastrana gets bored easily, and he entertains himself by doing ridiculous, usually-dangerous things at high speeds. His latest stunt? The hydrojump. It involved him "skimming his Suzuki dirtbike at 70 miles per hour for 110 feet in five-foot-deep water, and then launching off of a floating FMX ramp." It actually looks pretty fun in the video.

    Crazy Person to Attempt a Backflip in a Truck

    Doing backflips is a mainstay of the extreme sports scene, with people who ride skis, snowboards, dirt bikes and snowmobiles all able to pull off a flip with a big enough jump. But what about a truck? Sounds insane, doesn't it? That's because it is, it's completely insane. That's not gonna stop Rhys Millen from giving it a shot on New Year's Eve, however. More »
