As a promotional video for a Swedish sock company stuntman Adrian Cenni took to the air. When we heard he was snowboarding in the clouds we didn't exactly see this one coming. Ridiculous, but awesome. Great footage plus good music has all the makings for a viral video in the making. Well worthy of this week's Thrill Thursday.

My daily bike commute and 70 degree weather has it a little toasty over here. This video seemed only fitting as we come to a conclusion of the ski season. Over in Italy they have an event known as "Nine Knights" where they select nine world-class freeskiers and snowboarders, along with a few invitationals, to put on a week-long exhibition of skills. It's a low pressure environment to take on whatever the terrain has to offer. This year the terrain took on the form of a gigantic snow castle with a half pipe roof. They reported 150,000 cubic meters of snow was moved to create the playground. Check it out for yourself.

Leave it to the Red Bull team to outfit their athletes in five wingsuits and give NYC a go. They've hit all sorts of locations in the past couple years and normally we prefer seeing them flying between mountains and river gorges, but this one does not lack in views. Although not as technical as many of their runs, this is a coveted stunt and the landing makes it just that bit more entertaining. End the journey with a barge riding down the Hudson River- They had the full city tour planned out nicely.

While this feat of skipping across glassy lakes is nothing new (it's been around since the 70's), this video takes the sport to new heights. KJ Johansson has been known for his snowmachine stunts around Sweden, and this feat should solidify his audacious reputation. Watch as KJ takes his sled up a rocky river bed and then a small waterfall. It takes some backbone and a deep wallet to attempt this run, but KJ does not disappoint. Who's up next?
Father Nature Fact: The record for distance snowmobile skipping was set in 2013 by a Finnish man with a casual 112 mile jaunt.

Now watch above for something even more insane. Just think about strapping yourself in a human slingshot which catapults you over a cliff face. It's insane, but these guys creatively refer to this as flying "angry birds style". Tack on the nest of feathers to start this video and these guys have the whole game covered. Flying Frenchies enter into a whole new degree of lunacy, yet we can't help but admire. Enjoy for yourself. Father Nature Outdoors Because Mother Nature can be a pain Got a tip for us?
