By now, most of you would be aware of what wingsuit flying is, thanks to Jeb Corliss. But, quietly over the years, others have joined in on the rather crazy hobby too.

I just browsed bet.co.za and looked at the Blues vs. Blues game this weekend. They’re giving some stunning odds on the first try scorer of the game. Check this out: While it’s surely within the realms of reason to suggest that the likes of Wynand Olivier (14 to 1), Rene Ranger (10 to 1) and […]
For the first time ever, you’ll be able to watch every single Olympic event live, for free, without having to pirate it through some dodgy online stream. In fact, it’s actually a clever marketing ploy on the behalf of NBC, but still, it’s better than nothing.
Following on from the news that Albert de Wet’s track, “Bikin’ RSA” was initially sent to media as the official song of the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, and then sternly rejected by officials from the organisation, we suggest that bikers across the country rally around this song ahead of the big race […]

If you didn’t manage to get a load of the 2012 Argus Cycle Tour Campaign Song, which was branded by an apparent majority as both “revolting” and “embarrassing,” it’s too late I’m afraid – they’ve pulled it.

Surfing is an activity that engages all five senses, but sight is probably a pretty important one. You need to be able to see when to duck under a wave when you’re paddling out, or when to drop in on a wave to surf it. Or do you? Incredible video – click below.
