Earlier this month, 48-year-old Russian BASE jumper Valery Rozov took a leap off of Mount Everest from an elevation of 23,687 feet, the highest ever BASE jump to date, some 60 years after Everest was first summited. Read More >>

After the Nexus 4 sold out in super-fast time yesterday, it's unsurprising how many versions of it swamped eBay. What is surprising, though, is the sheer amount of money some suckers are willing to put down for a phone where the main appeal is price. Read More >>

Do you carry a pocket knife? Does anyone anymore? They can be helpful if you need to open a stubborn package or if you need something for the TSA to take from you at the airport. But though they’re sometimes useful, they aren’t particular fearsome. At least,until Joerg Sprave makes one. Read More >>

By the powers bestowed in me by the Ministry of Silly Underpants and after carefully examining and considering the numerous photographic and videographic documents covering its many insane features, I hereby declare Dubai the craziest city in the world. [Airpano.ru—Thanks Karl!] Read More >>

I've always wanted to race around a city's streets like a complete nutjob in a seriously fast car, just like you can in driving games like Burnout. Unfortunately that's never going to happen, but at least you can live vicariously through the insane talent that is Ken Block. Read More >>

Last Wednesday, a huge storm system arrived in Spain. In Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain, airplanes were forced to land under 62mph crosswinds. Some of the landings had to be aborted, like the third plane in this video. Read More >>

What kind of nut-job came up with this crazy concoction of an infomercial piss-take, I have no idea. But this mind-bending, insane video is apparently an advert for the latest album by a band out of South Africa called Desmond and the Tutus. Read More >>

I’ve seen some seriously useless or just plain fugly iPhone cases in my time, but none of them have been as nuts as this tidy little collection from the readers of Engineer vs Design. It held a 3D printer competition for the most absured case concepts people could come up with. There are 180 in all to browse; some awesome, some pretty dumb, but here are five of my favourites.

We’ve seen our fair share of crazy mountain bikers, but this one is just insane. The sheer speed, crazy agility and immense skill – this guy is simply a legend. Read More >>

This guy, 87mcmahan87 on YouTube, is one ballsy son of a gun. Just watch this video. He recorded himself zooming around on his motorbike on a super skinny and snowy mountain ridge in Colorado. I almost died watching him balance, teeter and tease fate like a madman. If he slipped up, he would've come crashing down to his death. Read More >>

In some far-off world, maybe there is such thing as tiny little microbe geniuses that've figured out the secrets of life before their bigger, more top o' the food chain human-like counterparts. Maybe those microbes know we exist! Maybe they know if an orange red crayon is more orange or more red! Hell, maybe bacteria on our planet are that smart. That's what an artist wants to find out.

Watch these nutters riding their mountain bikes down the the tiniest cliff path possible. If you don't get unnerved, you are probably as crazy as they are or have no self-preservation instinct whatsoever. [Stellar via Kottke] Read More >>

This YouTube video showing a concrete buffer going crazy is a bit slow at first. But give it some time, it soon gets hilariously absurd, with a dozen construction workers trying to stop the beast. Fortunately, there were no injuries. Except for their pride. Read More >>

This is the first time in history that a man has kickflipped a car; in this case, a Chevy Sonic. Is Rob Dyrdek crazy? You be the judge of that. [Thanks Karl!] Read More >>
