Drop In With Freeskier Simon Dumont, Ep. 1
On the comeback from a season-ending knee injury, seven-time X Games Medalist, freeskier Simon Dumont, is back on his skis and powering ahead toward the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. With contest season gearing up, Simon warms up in Keystone, Colorado's terrain park and Copper Mountain, Colorado's 22-foot Superpipe. Simon wastes no time throwing huge airs and spins in the pipe, shaking off slams, and ending the session with his signature switch double cork. With freeskiing's debut in the 2014 Winter Olympics on the horizon, all eyes are on Simon. Follow along on 'Drop In.'

This week the NKA Project crew heads out to Westchester Skate Plaza to meet up with with Elephant Skateboards am Carlos Lastra for a sick darkslide trick tip.

Professional Formula Drift drivers Chris Forsberg and Ryan Tuerck are nearing the end of their builds, but there’s still work to be done on Drift Garage. After installing a load of radical mods on his 370Z, Forsberg takes it to the dyno for a tune up. Next in line are front and rear suspension upgrades for precision drifting performance. Meanwhile Tuerck gets under the hood and the body, tackling the transmission, clutch, radiator, and oil cooler replacing run-down parts with shiny new parts (parts, parts, parts!) on his S13 missile car.
So much progress guys, nice work! Hit Tuerck and Forsberg below with questions and comments on their builds and check back in next Tuesday for their response. Episode 5 of Drift Garage is coming the following Tuesday, May 19.

Did you drop $99 to watch Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao's so-called fight of the century this weekend? If so, you're probably still kicking yourself. Mayweather's offense is defense and Pacquiao just doesn't have the killer instinct he once had. This remake of the bout via Mike Tyson's classic NES game, 'Punch Out!!', should help to cheer you up, however, parodying (and hilariously so) the realities of what was little more than a glorified sparring match. Trust us, you'll be laughing and crying at the same time.
Follow surf photographer Stu Gibson's drone around the world as he captures footage of some of the best surfing spots with some of the best surfers. Big waves, perfect waves, and everything in between, Stu is getting some incredible imagery.
You're probably asking yourself, "Come on, just how deadly could a 5-year-old be with nunchuks?" Well, if that 5-year-old is Bruce Ryu the answer is plenty deadly.
Ryu has some incredibly nasty nunchuck skills, which he shows off here (along with his acting skills) by replicating Bruce Lee's nunchuck scene from Game Of Death. Ryu is definitely a kid you don't want to mess with.
Nitro Circus rider Josh Sheehan just made history by being the first person ever to land a triple backflip on a motorbike. Check it as Dose sits down with Josh to talk about exactly what it took to pull off such an epic trick and of course what the hell he can possibly do next to top it.
Tasmanian photographer Stu Gibson has been shooting surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding for over a decade now, but in recent years he has developed, in his own words, a full-on drone addiction and the stunning aerial portfolio to prove it. Gibson specializes in stills, but that doesn't make this video footage he captured of a surfer riding a knee-high runner for over a minute off the Tasmanian coast any less awesome. Sit back, chill out, and give it a watch.
