Couple Makes Sex Tape...While Skydiving *VIDEO*

Written By Esteban

From: http://socialhype.com/

Remember when joining the Mile High Club simply meant doing the deed in an airplane bathroom? Yeah, well that’s so 1997. Today the bar has been raised. Now, if you want to join the Mile High Club, you have to get it on while jumping out of a plane at 13,000 feet.

Who do we have to thank for this escalation in sexual adventurism? Skydiving instructor and pornographic actor Alex Torres, a.k.a. “Voodoo”.

You see, apparently Mr. Torres doesn’t make enough money to make ends meet in the porn biz, so on weekends he moonlights as a skydiving instructor. One day, he had a brilliant idea: why not make a video of people having sex while free-falling at 120 MPH?

Of course, Torres would star in the video, and he got the skydiving company’s secretary—a woman named Hope Howell—to join him in the act. They filmed the event, put the video up on the internet and, it seemed, viral video history would soon be made.

The authorities, however, were not too happy with the stunt. Turns out, it’s illegal to do anything on a plane that might reasonably distract the pilot. And since Torres and Howell started knocking boots before they jumped out of the plane, they may be in some serious hot water. As a result of these impending legal issue, Mr. Torres had to take the video down.

He was also fired from the skydiving company.

Mind the gap! Wingsuit stuntman shoots through narrow slit in mountainside at 75mph

A wingsuit pilot has taken the sport of sky diving to new heights after hurtling through a narrow slit in a mountainside.

Jeb Corliss launched himself from a helicopter at 6,000ft today, zooming through the air at 75mph towards the imposing Tianmen mountain in Hunan Province, China.

The stuntman's wingsuit, which has thin membranes between the limbs and torso, allowed the 35-year-old to glide through the air while losing altitude gradually instead of plummeting directly towards Earth.

Tight squeeze: Spectators watch as Jeb Corliss hurtles though the mountain's natural arch hundreds of feet in the air

He was able to travel for two-thirds of a mile - and through the 4,265ft mountain's natural archway - before releasing his parachute and descending gently to the ground. 

The arch measures less than 100ft across and left the daredevil with little margin for error.

Stunning: The stuntman keeps his nerve as he glides through the narrow alley

Up in smoke: Corliss, seen here with another flyer, made an earlier attempt to glide through the mountain but had to perform a detour after his smoke canisters malfunctioned

Corliss, who has jumped from the Eiffel Tower and flown through a waterfall in the Swiss Alps, is the first wingsuit stuntman to fly in China. He carried out a test flight from the top of the mountain earlier this week and described conditions as 'perfect'.

But his first attempt to fly through the Tianmen arch this afternoon had to be abandoned after smoke canisters attached to his ankles developed mechanical problems. Corliss was forced to abandon the attempt in mid-flight and had to make a detour to avoid slamming into the side of the cliff face.

On a high: Back on terra firma, Corliss described the flight as one of the greatest of his career

After completing the second, successful jump, which was broadcast on China's television networks, the Californian said: 'That was one of the greatest wingsuit flights of my entire life. 

'Thank you China, that was amazing. I love it, oh my God.'

Handicap...What Handicap!!!!

VIDEO: Slow motion skateboarding fails make everything better

By Ali Plumb
From http://www.asylum.co.uk/

What is it about watching things in slow motion that makes everything better? Be it an owl coming into land on a perch or a car leaping off a Hot Wheels ramp, if you want something to look cooler, just shoot it in 1000fps and you're golden.

To prove our point, here's a clip of some skaters bailing horrifically on slow motion camera -- but because they're on slow motion camera, somehow they look undeniably while they're doing it.

The modern world really is a mystery, isn't it?

But to do the skaters justice, they've also pulled off some flippin' amazing tricks (literally) on the same slow motion camera, some of which we've added below after the bail-a-thon. How nice.




Oh, and here's a board breaking in slow motion too

This BASE Jumper Miraculously Survived His Parachute Failing

BASE Jump Chute Failure, Miracle Save! from Rock & Ice on Vimeo.

Lucky Chance, professional badass, seems surprised himself to be alive. After flying off this cliff on the epically-named Death Swing, he did a triple backflip, counting on his chute to deploy. Only it didn't, leaving him to fall 590 feet to certain death.
But, miraculously, the parachute opened in the nick of time. Literally right before he hit the ground. Chance called the experience a true adventure. Fuck, man. Awesome as this was, I'd never want to have an adventure like that. [Vimeo]

Action Jackson: ski/ride adrenaline film promises to be its most adventurous undertaking to date

“Action Jackson” the Movie…

Storm Show’s 2011 ski/ride adrenaline film promises to be its most adventurous undertaking to date. The record books were shattered with over 700 inches of snowfall having blasted the Teton Range of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. As to be expected, big lines go down one after another, guys & girls alike... On display is the deepest of deep that will make your pants soggy, and massive cliff hucking that you can watch safely from your couch.

Highlights include Jeff Leger’s legendary 80 foot swan dives, and Adam Osgood’s 100 foot double-front flips… Also in the running is Derek Depiero’s first un-roped descent of Birdbrain Couloir in the Jackson Hole backcountry, and Travis McAlpine & Darrell Miller’s first descent of the disgustingly exposed Nomad Couloir. Yes, 2011 was one for the record books, and Action Jackson is the ski film that proves it…Epic!

Man Flies Over Grand Canyon Attached To Jet-Propelled Wing [VIDEO]

by Kyle Thibaut

from http://translogic.aolautos.com/

We all wish we had the ability to fly like Superman, but this guy actually made it happen last weekend. Former Swiss fighter pilot Yves "Jetman" Rossy flew his jet-propelled wing across the Grand Canyon at speeds of over 190 mph.

Jetman jumped out of a helicopter at 8,000 feet over the Grand Canyon and stayed airborne for over eight minutes.

This isn't his first rodeo; he has flown over some beautiful sites. Jetman has winged over Lake Geneva and the English Channel, but came with high hopes for his first US flight. "My first flight in the U.S. is sure to be one of the most memorable experiences in my life, not only for the sheer beauty of the Grand Canyon but the honor to fly in sacred Native American lands," Jetman said.

I know what you're thinking, but we just couldn't risk our host Bradley's safety; however, the next closest thing is just around the corner. Stay tuned.

Beautiful Wedgies of Surfing (Gallery)

From: http://www.totalprosports.com/

Women’s volleyball has always earned my vote for sexiest sport, but this gallery might just change that.

Much like the sport of beach volleyball, surfing affords us the opportunity to combine the beautiful scenery of a white shandy beach and crystal blue waters with the incredible sight of gorgeous females in skimpy little swimsuits. And just like the women who play volleyball, these female surfers are no stranger to the occasional wedgie.

You can check out a few of those beautiful wedgies below.
