Cliff Diving:

“The Most Amazing Cliff Diving Video Ever”

This fun-loving compilation of backflips and bikinis filmed on Hawaii’s big island will make you want to go cliff diving right now… as long as you don’t have a fear of heights.


Skiing:

“Most insane ski line EVER”

The title of this video is no joke; it really is the most insane ski line we’ve ever seen. In this clip from the Red Bull documentary Days of Our Youth, a helicopter drops a skier with a death wish into a teensy channel between two cliff faces, and he rides a surge of adrenaline all the way down.

Hiking:

“The Longest Way 1.0 – walk through China and grow a beard! – a photo every day timelapse”

There are day hikers, and then there’s Christoph Rehage, who walked 4500km in one year, from Beijing through the Gobi desert to Ürümqi. He documented the whole incredible journey (plus facial hair) through this series of time-lapsed selfies.

Rock Climbing:

“Gorgeous Video: Rock Climbing in Oman”

This stunning National Geographic video documents gravity-defying free climber Mark Synnott as he and his team scramble up otherworldly rock formations hanging over the sunset-tinted waters of Oman—all without ropes.

Mountain Biking:

“Downhill Mountain Biking in the Wilds of Africa”

These downhill mountain bikers push the limits of the sport, tearing up terrain in the desert dunes of Namibia. Encounters with African wildlife and scorching 100-degree heat are all part of the adventure.

Surfing:

“Garrett McNamara rides 90 Foot Wave With Gopro Cam”

Big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara’s potentially world record-smashing ride takes on a 90-foot swell in Nazare, Portugal. Your stomach will drop when you see the enormous wall of water cresting behind him.

Kayak:

“2014 Short Film of the Year Awards – Winners Reel”

Get your whitewater fix with Kayak Session TV’s 2014 Short Film of the Year Awards winners. Frothing rapids and raging waterfalls practically swallow kayakers whole in this stomach-churning footage from all four corners of the globe.

Jet Skiing:

“High-Speed Canyon Jet Ski – Lake Powell GoPro”

Hang on tight as this jet skier rockets through a tight squeeze canyon in beautiful Lake Powell. This wild ride through glassy waters against pink cliffs looks like something out of a Stars Wars movie.

Bungee Jumping:

“Extreme Bungy Jumping with Cliff Diving Shenanigans!”

These playful adventurers take bungee jumping to a whole new level in New Zealand. Watch these crazy Kiwis ham it up in front of the camera as they leap (or get pushed) off ridiculously high drops.
