Bungee croc feeding

A split-second chance encounter gets very grizzly as a man carrying out his first (and probably last) bungee jump is sprung straight into the waiting jaws of a crocodile.
‘1, 2.. Ooh and he’s gone!.” Almost straight into the guts of the croc. You can actually hear the commentator breaking into laughter as the camera goes dead.
Btw, it’s a hoax J It was part of a Foster’s beer ad that caused an uproar.

Red neck truck compilation

Monster trucks, mini trucks, motorbike burnouts and a car-crushing dinosaur – we’d probably like it even more if our necks were sunburned.

Loopy skateboarding trick

Call the ambulance. Gravity wins as Brian Schaefer sets up to complete the loop. To even try this move you’d have to have been dropped on your head as a baby. Looks like a case of déjà vu for him then…

Concrete carnage

We’ve put this Rob Dyrdek montage up for you to amp yourself up to. Dyrdek gets endless rails and air, turning tricks like a hooker. Not even a near face slam on a large and sharp edged concrete block at the start of the clip deters him from his rolling rampage.

Hydroplane obliteration

Wait – is that the boat or a camera wobble? Unfortunately the driver’s paying a bit too much attention to the view and after a significant case of the speed wobbles the boat is obliterated.

Extreme Cage Fighting

Grace, wit, and masochism on display as John Freeman and Dennis Bixemon battle it out.

Dave Mirra on display

We can see why he holds the most X-Games medals of any athlete.

Extreme BMX Tricks

Sweet compilation of some of the best executed tricks on BMX. Lots of dudes getting good air. Notice the old-skool rides and how it’s changed. Back in the day, they were still pulling some serious tricks, though.

Guy jumps over a moving car on his skateboard

This guy’s got balls. Him and his mate driving the car try to synchronize their timing. Both hope for the best as the skater boards the ramp flying off it and over the car with less than a second to spare.

Surfing – How to learn

surfer_getting_air

Time spent surfing will not be time you consider wasted, so the first thing to do is go to the beach and either get some lessons or take the plunge and rent a board.

Standing up is the key
Lie on your stomach and chest, face up, focused straight ahead. Position your hands palm down by your shoulders, as if you were about to do a push up. Now’s the crucial bit that may need some practice. Swiftly get up off your stomach so that you’re in a crouching or sumo wrestler-like stance by pushing your upper body up while you sweep your feet in under you. You want to be balanced with your feet in the middle of your board.

Don’t look down at your board – it’ll make you lose your balance, so make sure you keep looking ahead. Keep low in your crouching stance position after you have come up, straightening up slowly to the point that you need to. But you’re always going to be in a crouched like sumo wrestler with your feet shoulder width apart and using your feet to grip the board.

Helpful hints and etiquette
You’ll pick up everything you need to know gradually the more you get out there but here are a couple of helpful hints to get you started.

Don’t ride your board all the way into the shallow so that it ends up skimming along the sand as this will damage your board. You want to be thinking about getting off your board once the water depth is shallower than a meter.

Don’t drop in. Dropping in on someone means stealing their wave, it’s not appreciated and can start nasty brawls so don’t do it. The first standing surfer closest to the wave that’s breaking has the right of way on the wave. Any others paddling out in an attempt to catch the wave must yield, holding back from the wave.

That’s surfing in a nutshell. Not only is it a blast, but it’ll keep you fit and toned.
