#RECOIL - Ballistic BJ Baldwin in his Monster Truck

We love the internet. The days of boring commercials are long gone, and have been replaced by incredible infomercials such as this one, released yesterday from Monster Energy. In essence, it's a dude driving through the desert (and into Las Vegas) in a trophy truck. Really quite quickly. Starting out in his garage, BJ Baldwin heads out to a casino in Vegas. While doing so, he happens to stumble across a rather attractive young lady, who appears to have broken down in her Nissan GT-R. Nightmare. As the gentleman that he is, he stopped to pick her up and take her to the casino. To make sure they get to said casino in time, he jumps, drifts and occasionally flies through the desert in spectacular fashion. That's pretty much the size of it! Now for our opinion.. Overall, it's a pretty darn cool. They are trying a little hard in places (notably the girl who gets covered in dirt), but it's worth spending the 5 minutes to have a watch. GNARLY BRO!

Mini Pulls off first car backflip

What happens when you drink too much Monster energy?  You get a John Cooper Works Mini Countryman, and convince French Rally Raid world champion, Guerlain Chicherit, to make it do a backflip.

This is what the manufacturer claims is the world's first successful backflip in a car. It took Checherit four years to plan the stunt, which involved him jumping the car, flipping it, then landing on a 8-meter high snow ramp in French ski resort, Tignes.

FMX Star Andre Villa Hits Up FreestyleXtreme For His UK Arenacross Kit

MX hero and GQ Magazine's 'Sexiest Man in Norway' Andre Villa is a star of numerous Red Bull X-Fighter, FIM World Championship and Night of the Jump events events.
While he has performed his Freestyle tricks most frequently in America and mainland Europe, he hasn't had quite so many appearances over in the UK. Until now! Villa has been drafted in to take part in the FMX section of the new UK Arenacross series and the Norwegian Fox Racing and Monster Energy athlete needed a customised kit to wear for the remainder of the shows. So, without his US pals to hand, he turned to FreestyleXtreme to personalise his new Fox kit for him. Check it out!

Based on the Fox 360 Vibron MX kit, you can see the special badges Freestylextreme added that only any proper sponsored athlete has access to.

If you want to see Andre Villa in action, there is still time to catch him in the UK Arenacross FMX show on 2nd February at the LG Arena in Birmingham and Echo Arena in Liverpool on 10th February.
