Epic Clip of “Speedflying” Through a Narrow Canyon in Switzerland

Filed under: Fitness — Tags: , , , — admin @ 2:08 am

Some people just don’t seem to feel fear. From big-wave surfers to base jumpers, these folks just seem to be hardwired to take radical risks while remaining calm and calculated.

A prime example of this fearless behavior is exemplified in this clip from adrenaline junkie, Alexandre Mulle, who goes speedflying through a narrow canyon known as the “Crack,” located in Switzerland. Speedflying is similar to paragliding, but with a smaller wing that allows for higher performance and tighter turns.


Mulle took high-performance flying to a whole different level, with wild turns and flips as he dodged the cliff walls and managed to keep control. So hit that play button and hold your breath––its a wild ride.

Watch: GoPro Releases Epic Montage of Best Clips From 2020

Filed under: Fitness — Tags: , , , — admin @ 9:23 pm

Since its inception in 2002, GoPro has changed the game when it comes to videography. Instead of relying on video production companies to film their latest adventures or stunts, GoPro gives people the opportunity to get creative and capture it themselves with a camera that mounts just about anywhere––from your head to your selfie stick. The result is some of the most mind-bending videos and death-defying clips ever produced.

To prove this point, the company hosts the GoPro Million Dollar Challenge––an annual video challenge where people submit their best, funniest and most creative unedited clips for a shot at their share of a million dollars. This week, they released a highlight reel with some of this year’s best submissions. The beautiful montage features a wide range of activities and provides some much-needed daydream fodder for those of us stuck indoors.
