For once the famous Cape Town wind was appreciated when as many as 5 000 spectators gathered in Big Bay yesterday, along the West Coast, to watch the world’s 16 best kiteboarders and eight wildcards take to the sea and of course, the air. The extreme competition – returning after a seven year hiatus – wowed the crowds […]
GoPro has dominated the personal HD camera market for action sports over the last three years, and their products just get better and better. The Wi-Fi enabled Hero3: Black Edition, is the most advanced GoPro, ever.
Hot Wheels have to be one of the best toys ever. Getting mini cars to do flips and twists landing back on the track only to roll on into a service centre, or maybe just onto another set of crazy loops, was the best. What’s better than this miniature craziness turned full scale? Click Through to find out.
A tour operator in Nepal calling itself ‘ZipFlyer’ claims to run the world’s fastest zip-line, a 1.8km line that drops 600m, attaining speeds of 160 kmph.

This is ridiculous, watch as these clearly insane people calmly cross a ravine, on a rope, 700m from the ground! It’s terrifying, logic-defying, awe-inspiring and incredible all at the same time, and once you start watching there’s no way you can stop. Click through for the video.
This shitcrazy group of extreme jacuzziers have just made your Friday. The group, who are members of the organisation, jacuzzi.ch, suspended themselves 153 metres in the air from the Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland, with naught but cables and ropes keeping them up. They then proceeded to set up a special platform where they chilled, ate cake and drank champagne in a mid-air jacuzzi. Definitely bucket list material.
As far as extreme sports go this is far from ‘just another jump’. Not only did it take these guys ten years to get a permit to pull this off, but they will be joined by Timeslive photographer, Marianne Schwankhart. Oh, and the mountain they’re about to jump off of, is 5895m high. If you’ve only done Lion’s Head, start hyperventilating now.
I need a cooler hobby. Over the weekend, Zane Whitmore, a 34-year-old from Seattle, attached himself to a hot air balloon with four piercings across his shoulder blades, and took to the air for a little more than an hour, cruising at just under 3 000 metres. No, I don’t know why either, look at the video.
Most of you will remember the hilarious Airwaves ‘That’s A Bit Extreme” viral videos (here, here and here) that were doing the rounds. But the smoking hot team of angels (Candy Apple and Joy Rider) and McHugeLarge himself, took things to the next level with a competition, giving the public an opportunity to give someone […]
