Backflip World Record at Masters of Dirt



Wow. Just… wow. This is one of the craziest things we’ve seen during our ten years.

When Jimmy Blaze trashed his buggy in practice last weekend, the Masters of Dirt crew scramble to plan a fitting replacement for the Sunday crowd. The outcome? 41 FMX riders in a train, hitting continuous backflips and setting a new world record in the process.

George from Masters of Dirt is an absolute legend for pulling this off and has put a trip to one of his Vienna shows right at the top of our bucket list.

Guerlain Chicherit's Car Backflip




You've already watched stunt driver Guerlain Chicherit backflip a John Cooper Works Mini Countryman on a specially-made ramp in Tignes, France, right?

Well, now you've got the chance to see how it all happens from the point of view of the man himself (oh, and his rear axle) courtesy of GoPro.

People Are Awesome 2013


The latest instalment in the 'People Are Awesome' series hit the yootoobs a couple of days ago and is rapidly doing the rounds. So, we thought we would get in on the act and share it with you guys too.

Okay, so some of these clips aren't exactly '2013' but c'mon - you've just watched humans somersault over moving cars, rollerskate underneath them, catch and hit things they should have no right to do so and generally be very clever. What have you achieved today? Because scratching your balls and microwaving a tin of soup for your lunch doesn't count for much...

Extreme Pogo

Today, the cheers of a hundred thousand scooter kids echoed through the streets. For today was a momentous occasion: no longer will they be laughed out of skateparks and pointed at on the streets. No more were they bottom of the action sports food chain. Because now... the pogo boys were in town... In all fairness, what these guys do is totally sick. It's one thing to front flip a BMX or motorcross bike. Or even a scooter. Those things have got wheels. A pogo stick is just a freakin' stick and a spring and if you eat shit while landing a trick on one of those all manner of nasty things is likely to happen. So, watch this vid and tell us you aren't a little bit impressed...
