Crazy Swing Parachute Jump!




This is absolutely insane! Where was the rope tied to and where did you land?

The song is: "O Fortuna", but a remix of it. The original piece was composed by Carl Orff. I'm not actually sure about this particular remix, but I know of a group called "Apotheosis" which remixed it better, in my opinion.

Skating In A Roller Coaster Track




Wearing specially designed in-line skates, Dirk Auer made the attempt at the Trips Drill theme park in Stuttgart, Germany.

Reaching speeds of 90 kph, Mr Auer skated the 860 metre track in just over one minute.

"This was a very dangerous stunt because there were so many factors to consider," said the 36-year-old, who conquered the rickety ride last weekend.

"The roller caster is wooden and so unlike rides made from iron and steel there was always a chance of the odd nail or screw that would not be entirely flat.

"If the skates were to catch a stray nail then I could have fallen and I would almost certainly have died."

Spending two months planning the outrageous stunt, Dirk also designed and made the monster skates, which took him a total of 110 hours work.

For Dirk however, there was no room for error.

I used 16 rolls on each shoe," says Dirk, "When I reached the first drop I was 30 metres high and this allowed me to reach speeds of 90 km/h on descent.

"After this some of the sides were so high that at times I was at 90 degrees and so it was very important to have as much traction as possible.

"Luckily everything went according to plan - it was a lot of fun."

Dirk, from Gross-Gerau near Frankfurt, is considered to be the most extreme inline-skater in the world.

He already holds the world record for reaching speeds of 307 km/h as he was dragged along behind a Porsche GT2 and has raced down a roller-coaster wearing only his skates.

Extreme Zorbing Ball Sport




Effectively throwing yourself down a slope in a giant ball, or ‘Zorbing”, is one of the latest extreme sport craze to sweep the world. This bizarre sport, invented in 2000, involves a giant plastic ball, which has two skins, one inside the other. The person zorbing is in the area between the skins, which is pumped up with air. The middle ball effectively suspends them on a cushion of air 700mm off the ground and the ball is then rolled down a hill. 

Like a number of other extreme sports, such as bungee jumping, zorbing originated in New Zealand. There are two different ways to zorb - either harnessed inside the ball, or "hydrozorbing", which involves putting water in the ball, which zorbers can slide around on as it revolves. 

Underwater Hockey Video




A little known sport, underwater hockey is what some divers like to do during the winter months when the outside water is too cold for diving. The sport was invented in Great Britain during the 1950's when some British divers were looking for ways to stay fit during the winter. 

The game is played using nothing more than snorkeling equipment - and of course the stick, protective gear and gloves - which adds breathing as an important game factor, meaning players have to manage the oxygen in their body. The game is played at the bottom of the pool using a puck weighing over one kilogram. The sport is tough and tiring though it is not as bad for experienced divers capable of holding their breath for extensive periods of time. The sport is becoming increasingly popular around the world and some countries have formed national teams which take part in world championships.

Extreme Trainsurfer On Germany's Fastest Train




Performed by a German known as "the trainrider". Before he died from leukemia, he enjoyed the last year of his life by surfing on trains. Included Germany's fastest Highspeed train ICE with a top speed of 330 km/h(!) No one did that before.

Never to be forgotten R.I.P.

When something is made, has come to pass, it is not necessary to ask what for, why? Anything to correct it is impossible, happened - a part of history and this best that could happen... Tremendous film, the brave guy... It was not, it is in those hearts who loved it and continues to love... In ours hearts because ideas with him went by train!

Insane Fastest Zip Line




This is the world's tallest, longest, and fastest zip line in the world!

The unfortunate thing about this South African zip line is that it drops you off in Namibia!

Flying Instructor Showing Off At Indoor Skydiving




I've tried it, and watched one of the instructors doing that in the flesh. The smallest movement of your body will cause a masive change in how your moving. staying in the same place and not smashing into the walls in a very undignified way is very difficult. 

basically it's very hard, but like many things when you watch an expert... they just make it look easy when it's not!

Skydiver Jump From Plane To Plane At The Sky




A skydiver jumps out of one plane, freefalls, then catches up with and enters another plane.

This has been done before by Patrick de Gayardon, a french skydiver, in the 90's.

Amazing 360 Degrees Turn By Gilles Panizzi




This is WRC driver Gilles Panizzi's famous 360 at the 2002 Rally Catalunya. 

He was leading by around 45 seconds and decided to give the fans a little treat. One of the most awesome and fun moments in rallying history! Even funnier when you realize that he didn't tell his co-driver - his brother Herve - that he was going to do it!
