Thursday Thrillers: Extreme Thrills
May 6, 2010
This is the first of my weekly Thursday Thrillers blogs. I seem to find myself losing hours of my evening watching videos sent to me by e-mail or recommended on twitter so I’m going to filter the wheat from the chaff and try and put a few of my favourite photos and videos up each week to keep you amused/amazed/awake at work.
I’m going to to start this all off with three of the best extreme sports clips around. One from each of the fields of skydiving, skiing and white water rafting.
Sky diving. This is one of the all time base jumping greats Loic Jean-Albert introducing proximity flying, or as most people will see it, jumping off a cliff and narrowly avoiding suicide by flying ridiculously close to a massive unmovable mountain!
Skiing. This one really takes your breath away-skiing at speed, off a cliff?
White Water. This video has a slightly try hard soundtrack but some of the stuff they do is phenomenal!
I hope you enjoyed these-if you’ve got any recommendations then pop them in the comments section below or here on Twitter.
