King of the Hammers, now in its 20th year, has evolved from a small contest among friends to a major off-road racing event, drawing over 80,000 attendees.

The goal of this trip isn't perfection, it's survival. At that altitude, your judgment fades as quickly as your lung capacity.

Enzo attempted a double front flip at Alaska's Hilltop Ski Area. He comes pretty close to landing it, nearly getting his skis all the way around, but he just didn't quite get it.

After members of the St. Cassian High School chamber choir perish while riding The Cyclone, they awake in limbo. Their spirit guide (a mechanical fortune teller automaton named The Amazing Karnak) invites each one to tell their life story in an effort to win the greatest prize of all, a chance to return.

I can still remember my first flight, in 2002. It was magical. I was working as a tour guide in Myanmar. I met a British balloon pilot called Phil, who had a spare place on a flight. He offered to take me, too.

On day five of an eight-day, 500-mile mountain bike race in Africa, Piers Constable found himself sprawled in the dirt for the second time. First he'd crashed on his left side, then on his right, until he was, in his own words, "muddied and bloodied," staring at a bike that was very much broken. He remembered a feed station a couple miles away and realized he had two choices: quit or run. He picked up the bike and ran.

I felt like a hawk catching a gentle breeze as I flew about 400 feet over the oak woodlands and ranchland below me. I was harnessed into the first of three zip lines available at Highline Adventures near Buellton, an expansive adventure park where Californians of every age can find something fun to do - including zooming down the fastest zip line in the state.

When my neighbor Tom celebrated his 65th birthday last month, his kids threw him what they thought was the perfect party: comfortable chair, cozy slippers, and a stack of crossword puzzles. Meanwhile, three doors down, 68-year-old Margaret was booking her first skydiving lesson. The contrast struck me-why do we assume retirement means slowing down when some people are just getting started on their biggest adventures?

Streetdog BMX isn't trying to revive the glory days of BMX games, nor is it chasing mass appeal. It's a deliberately fiddly, skill-focused take on BMX riding, aimed squarely at players who enjoy mastery more than spectacle. And like real-life riding, that first crash is the key moment - because you're either going to toss the fucking thing in the trash, or grind like a madman and try again.

The record-breaking Falcons Flight roller coaster starts out slow, but don't be fooled. Seconds into the ride at the new Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia, passengers are jolted into a high-speed journey that ascends mountainsides, passes through dark tunnels, and then does it all over again. The ride reaches a height of nearly 640 feet, lasts for nearly 3.5 minutes, and travels more than 2.6 miles.

Mountaineers and climbers, especially the free-solo kind, are humanity's most fascinating maniacs: single-minded, daring souls who throw themselves into profoundly optional life-endangering feats. It is hard not to be compelled, and appalled, by someone like Alex Honnold. Even with ropes, a single wrong move can mean death in mountaineering, a mad human activity that puts you at the full mercy of nature.

Even before Matt Weston had won his solo gold medal last Friday, skeleton was easily the most watchable sport of the Winter Olympics, because the commentary was so soothing. Tangle with snowboarding and you're going to hear a lot of unfamiliar words grabs, spins, flips and rail manoeuvres accompanied by the modifiers spectacular and ooh, and commentators won't tell you what any of it means because they're too excited, even though that is their one job.

The Tahoe edition of the Ski Super Sessions will premiere on March 17 exclusively on RedBull TV. Four men and four women from all over the world will compete at Palisades Tahoe for the collaborative and creative freestyle session.

COMING 2026" Featuring: David McMillan, Josh Bryceland, Matt Hunter, Ollie Hindley, Kade Edwards, Remy Morton, Matt Miles, Jonte Vink, Matteo Iniguez, Matt Begg,

Some travelers love vacations that involve doing absolutely nothing-trips where lounging by the beach or pool, napping, reading, or going for a light swim are the most rigorous activities on the agenda. Other travelers, however, crave trips that are a bit more ... active, whether that means hiking, biking, or parasailing. If you fall into the latter category, you should consider heading to Wyoming for your next trip, according to Wander.

Jamie Pierre is widely regarded as holding the world record highest ski cliff jump at 255 feet set in 2006 in the backcountry of Grand Targhee, Wyoming. Jamie's leap was 100% deliberate but there is another skier who unintentionally sent a larger cliff and his record is somewhat disputed around the ski world.

Digital creator Richard Oldham bought 400 acres in the mountains of Utah and built an off-grid cabin to enjoy with family and friends. As an avid snowboarder, Oldham enjoys touring his property and discovering new features on his land. Last winter he was out for tour when he came upon rock outcropping that would have been perfect for jumps but it was overgrown with trees and inaccessible in its current state.

It was exactly 23 years ago to the day that Shane McConkey pulled off his first ski base ever at Lover's Leap in Strawberry, California and we are stoked to share that one of his biggest fans in the world has recreated his historic jump. Professional wingsuit athlete Kasey English used the exact same exit point on top of the famous granite cliff near Highway 50 and excuted a picture perfect flight before safely drifted to valley floor under canopy.

Going full throttle off Mainline and making it look this effortless is truly something to behold: "This one is a lot scarier sitting in the sitski getting ready to drop than looking over the edge scoping it beforehand. Such a low POV on that thing, I felt like I was gonna launch into space!" -Jay Rawe Jay rode away clean and was a cool customer as he reached his friends who were filming from below.

Backcountry | The Télécphérique de La Grave in France is mythical. It owns myth. It deserves myth. It owns my fear. I've been wanting to come here since I was 22, but I knew I wasn't ready. At 47.6 years old, I suppose I finally felt prepared to explore La Grave and see how she treats me. Conditions ReportMy friend Per has been a guide in La Grave for 30+ years and his calm demeanor and laissez-faire attitude towards the place calmed me some.

In a major development for freeride skiing and snowboarding, Powder Mountain in Utah has been selected as a host of the new Super Sessions on Travis Rice's Natural Selection Tour (NST)-one of the most progressive and athlete-driven freeride competition circuits in the world. Super Sessions are a new opening stage introduced for the 2026 season.
