You won’t recognize any of the names in this sick new ski teaser, but that’s precisely the point. Out of the Shadows, which drops this fall, is all about unknown rippers in the Canadian province of British Skibombia. Damn, those Canucks can huck. Anyway, Dendrite Studios has simply stomped it with these 4 minutes and [...]
If you had to pick one pro cyclist to have a tantrum during a race, Mario Cipollini would be a safe bet. Flamboyant, narcissistic, and fired by mercurial Italian blood, Cipo was famous for outlandish behavior, petulance, and feuds with race organizers. In this clip from the 2003 Ghent-Wevelgem classic in Belgium, he exhibits surprisingly [...]
Adventure isn’t just lived on the Hillary Step or slingshotting into Teahupoo. The ragged edge of human existence can be found right in your own backyard–or better yet, someone else’s. Pool Jumpers, powerful new documentary from the director of Dogtown, won best documentary at Sundance for its gripping narrative of young men who chased adrenaline [...]
What do yo do if you’re Giro and you’re trying to make the perfect helmet for Lance Armstrong, but because of his travel schedule the 38-year-old is never available for testing? Build another Lance. The California helmet maker, working with Hollywood special effect companies, spent $15,000 to construct a true-to-life replica of the seven-time Tour [...]
It sounds like the beginning of a bad horror movie, but what happened on Mt. Rainier this week is true. Trevor Lane, Don Storms, and Eric Lewis were roped up and making their way toward the summit in wind and fog near the 14,000-foot level. Lane and Storms stopped to rest, but instead of seeing [...]
Rodrigo Baleia, who shoots for National Geographic’s Brazilian edition, has spent much of the last 10 years documenting the deforestation of the Amazon, often from the air. Seeing the rich, verdant forest destroyed to make room for cows and farms was heartbreaking. “It caused me much anguish and sadness,” he says, “because I never got [...]
Two riders, two continents, two bicycles, one love. Snapshots of revolutions made one pedal at a time. You can view these two videos as some kind of window into the contrasting riding styles of San Francisco and Copenhagen, spend a bit of time thinking about the identity roles bikes play (transportation/fetish/corporal extension), or just enjoy [...]
New evidence from the South Pacific island of Nikumaroro points to the possibility that aviator Amelia Earhart didn’t crash in the ocean, as many think, but instead landed safely and survived for weeks and maybe months as a castaway. A research trip led by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery turned up more than [...]
A few months ago, I was in the desert with a friend who’s a primitive skills expert and as we were walking along he showed me how to find water where there didn’t seem to be any, to make rope from vegetation, and to use grass to lasso a lizard for protein (surprisingly easy, once [...]
Even if you could care less about kite-skiing world records–and it’s safe to say that’s pretty much everyone except for those who set them–you have acknowledge that what Eric McNair-Landry and Sebastian Copeland just pulled off was pretty badass. The duo were kite-skiing across Greenland on their 2010 Greenland Legacy Crossing when the wind came [...]
Most of us would have soiled ourselves seeing a grizzly bear charging, but after two decades of wildlife filming, Leon Lorenz kept his wits about him on Monday when a mother bear made a beeline for him and his tripod. Shooting in the Robson Valley of British Columbia, Lorenz was filming the mother and a [...]
Rock climber Alex Honnold smashed his own record for solo climbing Yosemite’s Half Dome via the 23-pitch Regular Northwest Face, scaling it in 2 hours 9 minutes, 41 minutes faster than previously. He then soloed 31-pitch The Nose on El Capitan in just under six hours, apparently setting a new record for linking the two.
In honor of International Surfing Day, here’s a freaking amazing little surfing video put together by Karim Rejeb, a French-Dutch skate park builder living in the south of France. Called Lino, short for linoleum, it documents a tribe of wave-hungry Lego people. Yep, Lego people. Click now. Cause if it hasn’t blown up yet, it [...]
If your idea of outside art is oil paintings of western landscapes or ginormous glossy prints of grizzlies catching salmon in the air, it’s time to recalibrate. There’s so much contemporary art set in, around, and about the outdoors, it’s ridiculous. And one place to find good, affordable art is The Working Proof.
TWP is a [...]
You’d like to think that karma can’t be passed along, but who knows? Sport hunting is indefensible, and maybe it passes its repercussions forward. Jim Harris was sitting in a reclining easy chair in his rented house in Tavernier, Florida, beneath the 200-pound head of Bubba, a Cape buffalo shot in Africa, when gravity’s relentless [...]
