I love New York! It is truly one of the world’s greatest cities, but I must say there are some of the worst drivers in the country clogging up the roads in Manhattan (yeah, I’ve driven there).

My dad may have taught me how to ride a bike, but dammit why didn’t he teach me to ride like THIS?!?

I’ve assembled a small collection of vids of guys doing unbelievable tricks and stunts on BMX bicycles. Not only are these guys serious athletes, they’re also kind of loco.

Travis Pastrana, winner at the X-Games competition, does death defying stunts that clearly demonstrate why he’s the best in the world at this.

Evil Knievel may have invented this genre, but these guys have truly perfected it.

This jewel of a video was pointed out by Terry. It’s a highly creative musical video with a twist!

I can honestly say that I’ve never seen music made in this manner before. Watch and see…

Live near an open body of water? Want to get a workout and lots of attention? Well, here you go.

The Hydrofoil Water Scooter from Hammacher Schlemer will set you back about $500, but the thing will go 17 MPH across the surface of the water, so really that’s less than $30 per MPH.
