Jeff Rossen of the Today show would not be too happy. Last month he put out a "Rossen Report" of the dangers of cliff jumping. Andrew Santos couldn't care less. It appears he's been taking tours all over British Columbia to test his antics on various waterfalls. I guess you would expect a guy dropping 50+ feet to look calm, but he appears to have nerves of steel. Last month we spent some time jumping around waterfalls in Jamaica and now that we have some more perspective, it is safe to declare these jumps as insane. Well worthy of this week's Thrill Thursday. Enjoy.

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.
VIA FERRATA from Summitride on Vimeo.
Lately every weekend has found the FNO crew biking on what is considered what is some of the best single track on the east coast. That said, it is still relatively tame to most videos we watch, and it pales in comparison to this video. This video was shot our direction just recently and it features mountain biking where it doesn't belong- In the Dolomites on a fixed lined climbing trail. This is known as "Via ferrata" in the Alps and it translates to "Iron Road" in Italian. The climb requires fixed lines to tie into given the danger of the sheer cliffs adjacent to the trail. If it requires fixed lines for climbers, it only makes sense to take a mountain bike on the same trail and give it a whirl. Well that's just what we found. Enjoy Via Ferrata.
That is what this rough wide is already being titled. There's no fancy editing- In fact, this just looks like a cell phone quality video production, but the point is magnitude of the wipeout. Rough seas on the Brazilian shores called Pedro Calado and a few other locals daredevils out for a dance on the waves. A stiff headwind held Calado at the lip of the wave delaying his drop-in, and the rest is painful history. Calado relates that his time underwater after the wipeout was one of the deadliest experiences he has been through. And that's coming from a guy with a "Wipeout of the Year" entry from just four months ago! These big-wave surfers are nuts. Via Surfer Magazine
Because Mother Nature can be a pain. Father Nature Outdoors The production of these videos are getting more impressive every year. There's no doubt this video keeps up the trend. This is a promotional video for the Dubai Dream Jump system and the world's longest urban zipline. It doesn't need some verbose description about how cool it is- the video does it justice. Enjoy the ride from your computer chair as you plummeted 1200ft from the beautiful Dubai skyline. And even then it'll still get your nerves up.
