Stunts

There's nothing quite like pulling a wheelie on a motorcycle for firing up the adrenalin glands. More people would do it if it wasn't so difficult and potentially painful and embarrassing – so RawRR is launching a trainer to make it easy and fun.

When it comes to crazy and costly movie stunts, Cliffhanger made history by featuring the most expensive aerial stunt ever performed. It was so expensive that star/co-writer Sylvester Stallone took a pay cut to help offset the million-dollar price tag.

Aided by titanium shoes and a slightly modified Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX, motorcycle stunt rider Jonny Davies has added another Guinness World Record to his accomplishments for what's got to be one of the more thrilling events included in the compendium.

Champion slackliner Jaan Roose recently took a vertigo-inducing stroll across a thin line stretching from one of the amazing Katara Towers to the other, completing the feat at a height of 185 m above the streets of the Qatari capital Doha.

Yes, an energy drink company is involved. BMX Pro Kriss Kyle – and that's a name for a BMX pro if ever we heard one – has starred in an epic video stunt, battling his own fear of heights to pull off sick tricks in a specially built bowl in the air.

Pilot Luke Czepiela has completed an amazing landing on Dubai's iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. Using a lightweight plane, he touched-down on the skyscraper's helipad at a height of 212 m, coming to a stop with only a few meters to spare.

Red Bull's extreme stunts are legendary, and Plane Swap promises to be right up there with the greatest. Two pilots will jump out of their planes, leaving them pilotless and plummeting, and attempt to skydive across and save each other's aircraft.

New Atlas was at Snake River Canyon five years ago when Eddie Braun spectacularly finished the terrifying rocket bike jump that nearly killed Evel Knievel. The event is now a gorgeous documentary on Disney+, and we sat down with Braun to reminisce.

This racy-looking 12-rotor coaxial multicopter has been filmed in Croatia pulling extreme rolls and loops, and carrying a human on board. Not at the same time, mind you, but still, to see a drone of this size pulling stunts like this is astonishing.

We spoke to this semi-paralyzed maniac last week about his preparations for attempting a new UTV jumping world distance record in his Polaris RZR - and on Monday, Tanner delivered, eclipsing the target mark by more than 20 feet.

Twice now, Tanner Godfrey has jumped further in a UTV than anyone in history. Since he doesn't have full use of his legs, he's done it by literally poking the gas and brake pedals with a stick. And on Monday, armed with a new stick, he's lining up for the biggest jump of his life. This guy's nuts.

​Another world record tumbled at Goodwood yesterday, and it was a cracker: the world’s fastest mile balancing a car on two wheels. And if that sounds difficult, it wasn’t on a straight bit of road. Driver Terry Grant had to take the car up the twisting Hill Climb race track. Just watch!
