Walking up 30 Meters of High Mast at High Speed - The Mast Walk by Alex Thomson

Ryan Nance March 12, 2014

Alex Thomson is a solo-round-the-world yachtsman, so the 30-meter climb up the high mast of the moving ship is probably no big thing for him.

He is after all the same guy in the very iconic Keel Walk image from a year or so ago [below].

Death Defying Riders in India's Well of Death

Ryan Nance October 10, 2013

Mercury music prize nominees Django Django became obsessed by the infamous Indian Well of Death riders in Allahabad. So, naturally, they asked Noisey if we'd be up for travelling over to India and standing right in the middle of large lumps of precariously speeding metal for a day, to film a video for their track "Wor". We happily obliged, getting our shoes stolen in the process, but it was worth it to meet a bunch of guys with the most rock solid testicles we've ever come across.

Wingsuit Flyer Flies Through A Hole In A Rock Wall

Ryan Nance April 17, 2013

Wingsuit / BASE-jump athlete Alexander Polli does the never before done-a tactical flight through a narrow cave on a rugged mountainside. The flight starts with a jump from a hovering helicopter, Alexander reaches speeds of 250 km/h (155 mph) while following a precise trajectory leading to the cave opening, he then fully commits and flies directly through the narrow opening of the "Batman Cave!"

The project page describes this crazy-stupid-amazing-daring video as:

Please like my page to follow my stuff: http://www.facebook.com/JokkeSommerOfficial Ludovic and I doing a wingsuit flight into Rio de Janeiro. We did not have permission to fly into the city, but to respect the commercial air traffic we did the jump 05:45 in the morning.

Crazy, stupid, illegal and badass-- Jokke Summer and Ludovic Woerth jumped from two ultralight planes and flew through a narrow gap in a building in Rio de Janeiro.
