I'll start with this one...totally nuts

It's not a sport but as a diver this sort of blows my hair back. Sponge divers and pearl shell divers and mainly abalone divers all are the hardest extreme sportsmen ever.

sponge divers cause of the depth and time, heaps of them died in the early days just pressurised and drowned.

pearl diving nowadays is pretty tame but on the luggers in the old days they lost men every day.

abalone diving balls of steel big swell,caves, gnarly ground.... and big bags of teeth

This could have gone so badly so quickly...

and perhaps even more daring...

He was even spreading chemtrails on that jump!

Not a video but racing aircraft in a nose dive is fun.

there was a movie a few years ago and they had to hold their breath to turn the valve on the submarine off. I always hold my breath in those movie scenes to see if I would be a survivor.
theres one scene I think in x men and they fill the room with water I wouldn't of survived that. But I would of survived the submarine movie and also the one with the rock in it where they get to the submarine.
I wouldn't however come close to surviving this freedive

Theres extreme and then theres just plain callous disregard for safety or laziness in earning a notmal living so u do stuff u shouldn't on a GoPro. Are triple somersolts on a dirt bike, wingsuitingclose to walls or climbing a crazy wall without a rope something we should be admiring when the consequence is quadraplegia or death? At some point ur just a click bait tool (like those high rise people that hang with one arm) whats next extreme videos of pitting your dick super close into a mincer or your hand in a blender!
I bet the part two vids which document the quardraplegia etc arent watched so much

I was trying to work out who won.

Well I watched the Red Bull Rampage yesterday, it was insanely good, nobody died, nobody got carted away, which I think is amazing in itself.
I'm pretty sure a replay is available or at least the highlights online.
Oh, and Mavericks big wave contest opening ceremonies were today, that along with the Aloha Classic from Ho'okipa opening ceremonies tomorrow, should make this an interesting week for us mere mortals.

Over central NSW;

All went well as the balloon drifted upwards until they reached 7,300m, when all four of the balloon's burners suddenly flamed out.
At the same time, Tomas and Steve's oxygen masks began to leak.
Trying to make the best of a progressively bad situation, Steve yelled at Marc to jump: "Go, just go. You need to go."
There was no ceremonial goodbye, no good luck gesture. Marc just jumped.
