Filming a workout at the gym via a GoPro head mount doesn't sound initially enticing. But if we told you it was a woman with a low cut tank top, then you'd probably say, "Yes, that might in fact be the best GoPro video ever shot." Well, take a look for yourself. Things get weird at the end, and almost NSFW, and we're not really sure why.
BMX rider Danny MacAskill has ridden at the Playboy Mansion. And Eli Reed has skated the Playboy Mansion. But what about seeing some Playmates themselves get on some boards? Well, if that was your dream wish then call Playboy the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
They take Playmates Gemma Lee Farrell, Jaslyn Ome, and Audrey Aleen Allen to Los Angeles's infamous Pink Motel for some skateboarding, and nude tanning. There might be more nude tanning and less skateboarding in this, but we're not complaining. Thanks Playboy.
Remember Dave England? If not, here's a refresher from his Jackass days. If you do remember Dave, you'll know that Steve-O wasn't the only Jackass member who could skate.
Dave has always been one to do unconventional things. So he took some notes from Leland Kuykendall (who did a backside disaster with a street sign) and made a skateboard from those annoying "No Skateboarding" signs. And he doesn't skate it bad.

We know you've all been wondering, "Hey, why hasn't Chris Forsberg's buddy Ryan Tuerck been on Garage Tours yet?" Well, you've been patient and now you get a first-hand look at the inside of Ryan Tuerck's New Hampshire home/garage on this new episode of Garage Tours.
First impressions are that equal amounts of fun and work happen here (weighing heavily on the fun side though). Evidence of Tuerck and his two brothers's ten years of drifting are everywhere including sacrificed and resurrected missile cars littering the estate. Inside garage #1, Ryan shows off the upgrades he’s making on his finely tuned 1JZ, as seen in the Tuerck’d Off Seasons episodes. Meanwhile in the “missile garage” (everyone has one of those right?) Tuerck shows off the gradual missile car builds he and his brother Evan have in progress. In yet another garage (yes, another garage), Tuerck’s homie Dave is restoring a '53 Chevy Bel Air hot rod and shows off a killer custom shaved door handle hack.
But what would a Tuerck-at-home encounter be without some serious driveway drifting? A gas grill and a headlight get Tuerck’d during some hectic driveway hoonage, which devolves into a 50cc moto session, BMXing and… wait where’d the day go?

Bob Burnquist is one of the most innovative and influential skateboarders of all time. He has pioneered new obstacles, like the full loop and the corkscrew jump, many of which he has built at his home in California. Burnquist also constructed a MegaRamp on the property, and in the new video for his "Dreamland" series, Burnquist puts the ramp to previously unthought-of uses. This is Burnquist's first full part since 2010 and it is so worth the wait. Burnquist built a massive hip on his MegaRamp that sends him across a 15-foot gap. Then there is a helicopter transfer that you have to see (over and over and over again) to believe.
Are you ready for the brand new GoPro Hero 4 camera? If not, then this video will definitely get you psyched up for one. The new Hero 4 Black comes with a built-in touch display, shoots in 4K30 (4K video in 30 frames-per-second), double the processing power of the last generation, and built-in Wi-Fi and bluetooth. Essentially, this camera is going to push RED for it's dominance in the 4K video game. Starting at $499.99, the Black edition drops on October 5. Head to GoPro for more information.
Ken Block and Bucky Lasek are just 2 buddies having a good time down in Daytona Beach, Florida. With their new GoPro Hero 4 Black cameras they decided to have a bro-ment (bro + moment = bro-ment) on the Slingshot ride, made infamous by DMX, and film it POV style. They definitely enjoy the ride more than DMX did...
What do you think of this bro-ment? Tell us in the Comments.
If you thought scooter kids were tough to maneuver around at the skatepark, imagine having to deal with a Range Rover Evoque dropping in on you. The Land Rover Experience team in China took one of the SUVs through a concrete park to show off its agility on varied terrain. The Evoque spent plenty of time on three wheels contorted in weird positions, but it did negotiate the weird fullpipe/tunnel/sewer thing successfully. So if having a car that can drive around a skatepark is important to you, the Range Rover Evoque may be for you.

Season 3 of Tuerck'd is finally here! Yes, we're as excited as you are. Which is why this episode is nearly 16-minutes long. There's just too much hooning this season that we wanted to give you a giant dose of it right off the bat.
Ryan Tuerck kicks it off with a driving trifecta: rallying, Formula Drift racing, and his own Tuerck’d Bash drifting event. Tuerck gets dirty at Dirt Fish Rally School in the Pacific Northwest, one of the top-rated rally car racing schools in the U.S. Tuerck fights his inner urge to get sideways while learning the secrets to rallying in a Subaru STI.
Next, we get behind the scenes at Formula Drift Seattle to get a look into Tuerck’s “day job” competing in FD, hanging with fans, and some partying with fellow drifters.
Following FD, Tuerck throws a major drift happening at Pat’s Acres Racing Complex, where Tuerck challenges his friends to drifting contests (drift kickball!?) in front of a hyped crowd and then leads the 12 car drift mob. Not every car comes out unscathed, but you’ve gotta expect to get tuerck'd in Tuerck'd.
Season 3 of Tuerck’d drops alternating Tuesdays, make sure to subscribe! Hit up Tuerck in the comments below and he might just respond to you in next Tuesday’s Burnout Response video!

What happens when you take two of the best in their respective board sports and put them together on a fresh backyard miniramp? And awesome skate edit happens. Join Shaun White christening his brand new backyard miniramp with a BBQ and skate session with Ryan Sheckler. And in case you forgot, Shaun can skate pretty damn well.
The Stunt Freaks Team is back at it with this insane bridge crossing. Riding some sort of motor bike, instead of taking the normal route the rider decides to go over the trusses. Definitely not the safest way to cross a bridge, but quite possibly the most badass way. And it's pretty similar to BMX rider Mat Olson's bridge stunt, too.
All waves are, and will forever be, judged against Pipeline. It's just how it goes because the jewel of the North Shore is the standard for perfection and greatness. But when it comes to insane, mutant waves that look like they are the spawn of Satan himself, then nothing compares to The Right. Located off the coast of Western Australia in the middle of the Indian Ocean, The Right is the scariest looking wave in the world. And big wave surfer Ryan Hipwood decided it was a good idea to head back there after nearly drowning at The Right in 2012.
Hipwood, Mark Mathews, Dean Morrison, and a few other hellmen tackled The Right on one recent swell. If you're scratching your head wondering why you haven't seen much footage of this wave before it's because no one surfs it, ever. It is just that ridiculous of a wave. But when footage like this does drop, well your jaw does, too.
Bob Burnquist is one of the most progressive skaters of all time. It's not just because of how he skates, but what he skates. Fullpipes, crazy Megaramps with hips, and, oh yeah, helicopters. Burnquist's latest invention is a floating miniramp in the middle of Lake Tahoe. Visit California recruited Burnquist to take on the project as part of its "Dream Big" campaign. It wasn't easy. Master rampbuilder Jeff King and his team spent 300 man hours and used 1,250 screws to create the 7,300-pound ramp. But for Burnquist, who says, "All my dreams came true in California," this was yet another example of an "out there" idea turning into reality.
What do you think of this floating miniramp? Tell us in the Comments.
"I can honestly say that I haven’t worked on a skate video this hard since The End. I never want to do some of these tricks again"—Tony Hawk
Well, well, well. It seems that the Birdman continues to defy age. Yes, Tony Hawk was once a dreamcrushing liar, but this ridiculous video part helps alleviate some of our heartbreak over that. At 47 years old, Tony Hawk is definitely in the olds category. But like his surfing counterpart Kelly Slater, he is still at the top of his game. Keep flying Birdman. And thanks for the trip down memory lane with some classic Tony Hawk Pro Skater songs for the soundtrack...
This souped-up 2JZ GT86 Toyota Supra just blew apart the track amidst the 2014/2015 Bahrain National Drag Racing Championship at the Bahrain International Circuit recently. Built by EkanooRacing, American driver Gary White drove the Supra to a 6.05-second the 1/4-mile time—which is a new world record for the fastest import 1/4-mile speed. We really can't comprehend just how f—king fast this Supra is.
Paul Walker died on Saturday when his Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a tree. There has been a tremendous outpouring of support for the late actor from around the world. But the loss has hit the automotive community especially hard. Walker's most famous role was as Brian O'Connor in the Fast & Furious movie franchise. Walker and those movies went a long way to popularizing drifting and tuner culture in the United States and across the globe. So it's fitting that Walker's Fast & Furious family made this moving tribute to its star.
Walker's family has asked that in lieu of flowers or other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul's charity Reach Out Worldwide.

We just can't even fathom this. Robbie Maddison, you win. You're just a total beast. Who would even think of riding their bike at Utah Olympic Park in Park City, Utah, through the luge track and hitting the ski jump?! Hitting it at 71mph and going a distance of 374feet, Maddison set a world record for the 185-foot vertical drop. And in case you were wondering, that about 18.5 stories.
Back in September, Arbor Skateboards rider James Kelly dropped the most cinematic downhill longboard skate video ever. Now Arbor just released the trailer for their upcoming movie Grade. And it's just as amazing as Kelly's video earlier this fall. The full-length drops later this month, so stay tuned for its release.
Trent Kimball is President and CEO of the Texas Armoring Corporation (TAC). And he and his company take product testing very seriously. So serious that he sits behind-the-wheel of an armored Mercedes-Benz as it gets shot at by an AK-47. This is borderline psychotic, but also kinda badass at the same time. Guess Kimball and TAC know how to armor a car properly...

There ain't nothing wrong with a little fake poop—or watching a kid poop his pants instead of riding a scooter for that matter. But some people just aren't into potty humor. Take this Lamborghini owner for example. He does not appreciate the prank YouTubers Viral Brothers tried pulling on him for being a jerk driver. Without even hearing that it's fake poop and was a prank the old guy pulls out a taser and takes the dude down. How is that even legal?
Last year Toxa Avdeyev took his 3-year-old son drifting and the kid couldn't stop laughing. Now his son is 4, and he still loves drifting in the front seat as much as he did last year. I mean, can you blame the kid for wanting to hoon?
Yes, we already know that Travis Pastrana is a total madman. Maybe the maddest of them all. But it's still always shocking when he ends up outdoing himself once again. This time, it's in the form of a massive ramp.
At the infamous Pastranaland he built a 14-foot bike ramp. But it just wasn't big enough for what they needed to do. So they jacked it up to 17-feet. And that still wasn't big enough. So they scrapped it and started over, settling on a 20-foot ramp. And then they started doing double and triple backflips—Travis even does one on the dirtbike. As James Foster says, it's easily the biggest ramp ever hit by a bicycle.
Warning: This is very NSFW

Did you catch the full 2014 Peace Park video this Sunday on ABC? Well in case you didn't (and even in case you did) we've got the full 44-minutes of park madness right here. As well as an exclusive Danny Davis x Mountain Dew giveaway worth over $1,200!
The 2014 version of Danny Davis's Peace Park is easily the biggest and baddest yet. Taking on the mountains of Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming, Snow Park Technologies, Mountain Dew, and Burton Snowboards outdid themselves with this version of Peace Park.
Downhill mountain bike POV runs are almost always intense. This one from Dan Atherton at the Red Bull Hardline certainly fits that bill. Bumpy, rocky, steep, and teetering on out of control, this run will definitely get your stomach churning.
This one is from last year, so it's before the first-player was available for Grand Theft Auto 5. But it's still golden how insane this British grandma really is when in the GTA world. Someone should put her in charge of a mob-type group.

What's the best way to put a brand new street Scion FRS to the test? A windy, steep mountain road on a new episode of Tuerck'd of course.
Ryan Tuerck takes the new Scion FRS to a remote Vermont mountain road and sees just what the 600HP can do on 2,000 vertical feet. Fellow Formula Drift driver and BC Racing teammate Pat Goodin joins in for some sketchy tandem action in Tuerck’s black 1JZ S13 that’ll blow your mind. Remind you of the Oregon Trail drift at all?

You may be asking yourself: Why on Earth would I ever want to take a piece of machinery like the Lamborghini Gallardo and drift it in the dirt? You're probably also asking yourself: Why on Earth would I ever want to strip a Lamborghini Gallardo and turn it into a rally car? The answer to both of those questions? Because, why not?
The guys at Brakim Racings are doing exactly that, but before giving the Bull a makeover, they decided some dirt donuts and dirt drifting were very much in order. And we're glad they did. It'll be interesting to see how this project progresses...

Those things that surfers are riding in this video, they're not waves. They're sea monsters. BIG. F—KING. SEA MONSTERS. And that big wave spot Nazare in Portugal has spawned some of them again recently.
Nazare, as you'll recall is like Jaws on steroids, is home to the biggest waves on Earth. Last fall, Carlos Burle saved Maya Gabeira's life there, and it continues to be the focus of the largest wave riding in the world.
So that whole nor'easter that the Northeast U.S. had went through last week went across the Atlantic and did this. Again, sea monsters (as in big mountains of water), not waves.
Meet 17-year-old Brazilian longboard skater Ana Maria Suzano. She's quickly going to become your favorite female longboard skater. She pays her dues at the beginning of this one with a hard slam, but it doesn't phase her in the least. She proves this by cross-stepping and freestyling all over the streets. We need to see more of Suzano skating.

This might be the best follow-cam bike video to ever hit the internet. This animated bike seat is living the life, cruising around all day while beautiful women put their butts on him. It makes being a bike seat seem like a dream job. But what happens when a fat guy decides to sit on you while wearing shorts that are way too short? Fortunately that's a question for another day.
Well, we guess you can just use any dirt track for this awesome dirt karting. But we imagine not every dirt track would allow this yet—though we have no idea why they wouldn't. Jason and his buddy Jim have a pretty epic dirt track kart battle, and it's definitely got us wanting to explore this form of racing more.

It's no secret that the 2015 Corvette Z06 is magnificent. So Jay Leno being the superb car guy he is, had Chevy Product Specialist Shad Balch bring one by Jay's garage for a little spin.
Jay knows that cars like the Z06 are meant to be driven fast, so he does. Unfortunately though a cop notices and immediately pulls Leno over during the test drive. We don't see how it ends up, but we're fairly certain Leno got a pass for this one.

Goanikontes in the Naukluft desert in Namibia, Africa has drawn comparisons to the infamous Utah desert for mountain bike riding. So rider Kyle Jameson and Moment Pictures decided to explore the terrain. At times it looks like they're on a moon planet, and at others it looks like they're speeding down a Utah mountain. Hard to believe they're in Africa.
Motocross trials rider Julien Dupont saw Robbie Maddison ride his motorcycle through a luge and off a giant ski jump last month, so he decided to get a thrill on his bike for himself.
Dupont has (sorta) ridden on the moon before, so a roller coaster seemed like the next logical step. He headed down to Mexico City's La Feria de Chapultepec amusement park to tackle the Montaña Rusa roller coaster on his motorcycle. He does backflips on it, wheelies, endos, and hammers the throttle down and he goes up and down. This is truly an incredible stunt.
After smashing UTEs Down Under in Australia, Ryan Tuerck hops over to New Zealand for a one-of-a-kind drift event: Red Bull Drift Shifters. This event showcases the precision and skill of these drivers as they drift through the pinball-like course in an effort to activate proximity sensors and get the highest score. Tuerck is among the 16 drivers competing alongside the best drivers from across the US, Japan, and New Zealand on this episode of Tuerck'd.
Before the event kicks off, Tuerck meets up with New Zealand drift driver and event organizer "Mad" Mike Whiddett to check out his epic shop packed with enviable cars including his FC RX7 “flash missile,” his RXA, and his super modified four rotor RX7. The Tuerck’d crew heads out to get a taste of New Zealand’s adrenaline opportunities including bungee jumping, downhill mountain biking, speedboating up rivers and around lakes, heli tours, shooting guns, throwing knives… basically anything that gets the blood pumping.
Adequately amped up, it’s time to stick it to the wall at the Red Bull Drift Shifters! Tuerck advances all the way into the semi-finals and then… watch the video to see how it turns out.

Plastic vehicular manslaughter is no laughing matter, but that doesn't mean it isn't hilarious. Just check out this video of a mini-thug running over his friend in an electric Jeep, and you'll see what we mean. There's no telling what prompted this bout of juvenile road rage (probably a fight about which dinosaur is best), but I think it's safe to say Chamillionaire was bumping through that whip's system: They see me rollin', they hatin', patrollin' they tryin' to catch me riding dirty.
In December, Southern California was experiencing something astronomical that it rarely (if ever) does: weather. More specifically, weather in the form of pouring rain for days on end.
Chris Coté, former Editor-in-Chief of the now-deceased Transworld Surf, took full advantage though and relived a childhood past time: the urban boogie slide. So Coté geared up with a boogieboard, a GoPro, a pair of BMX gloves, some old jeans, and the dream to bring the sport of Urban Boogie Sliding back from obscurity! Good thing it worked out for him, unlike that kid who tried it down stairs.
We've seen a ton of crazy moto stunts lately. Robbie Maddison rode through a giant luge and off that huge ski jump and Julien Dupont rode his trials motorcycle on a roller coaster. Fellow trials rider Dougie Lampkin did something a bit more chill: he rode through a giant igloo hotel in Northern Finland.
A. How come we've never heard of igloo hotels before? And B. How did Lampkin even think to do this? Regardless, we're glad he did.
Bieber, Bieber, Bieber. Listen, we don't knock Justin Bieber for just trying to skateboard. And for a public figure like himself, it's gotta be pretty hard to just go and have a session because everyone is going to be all up in your stuff. But there's something about this "skateboarding" phase he's going through that reeks of a publicity stunt to make him seem cooler. Whatever though, that's all besides the point here.
While at the Venice Beach Skatepark, Bieber goes for a treflip off a ledge but doesn't quite get it. A kid behind him waiting throws some serious shade at Bieber, immediately landing a treflip off the same ledge and giving Biebs a smirk as he rolls by him. I mean, can you really blame the kid for taking advantage of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make Justin Bieber look like a fool? We'd have done the same thing, and we're sure most of you would have as well.

Welcome to the second season of Drift Garage hosted by professional Formula Drift drivers Chris Forsberg and Ryan Tuerck. This season we’re getting into TWO totally contrasting drift car builds. Chris Forsberg is upgrading a brand new Nissan 370Z and turning it into a mean street legal twin turbo 700 HP weekend warrior. Meanwhile, Ryan Tuerck has a project of his own upgrading his thrashed 20-year-old Nissan 240SX in an attempt to bring it up to snuff.
The series starts with Forsberg dumping the 370Z engine and Tuerck demoing his missile car to prep it for brand new parts.
Drift Garage airs alternating Tuesdays on Network A, be sure to leave your questions and comments below for Forsberg and Tuerck to answer in next week’s response video.

On episode 4 of Noisey's "Live From The Streets", Mr. Green is joined by Black Dave and Waka Flocka Flame. The two rappers collaborate on a song, using skate sounds that Mr. Green recorded of Black Dave as the beat. Might be the only rap song ever with skate sounds as the beat.
In an animal action sports world dominated by dogs, you have to meet Didga, a skateboarding cat that has hippie jumps and rock to fakies on lock. I don't know about you, but my cat can barely go five steps from the front door without collapsing in fear (and if it's raining, just forget it), which, if anything, makes this flying feline all the more impressive.
We've never quite understood the things that go on during Latino game shows, but we're sure glad they happen sometimes. Take for instance, these two Brazilian women playing Twister together. And then what's the end all about, four girls are going to play together?! We wanna know how this ended. This was glorious, and one of the best Christmas presents ever. Thanks Brazil.
It's time for Chris Forsberg and Ryan Tuerck to really take the bull by the horns in this new episode of Drift Garage. Forsberg goes for it by installing a new twin turbo engine kit on his 370Z street car. And Tuerck starts the upgrades on his old 240SX with an improved fuel system to accommodate a bigger turbo and bigger cams. The guys are working overtime, but they’re still definitely finding time for some fun.

A good prank never gets old. Just ask this driving school, who decided to haze a few new instructors on their first day by hiring Malaysian drifter Leona Chin to pose as a clueless teen driver and then take them on the ride of their lives (which also just so happened to flash before their eyes). The reactions here are absolutely hilarious, so sit back, relax, and let other people's terror brighten your morning.
We have to be honest. We aren't sure who set this up, how they executed it, or if it's even real, but this elaborate Brazilian hoax, which throws unsuspecting subway riders into a bonafied zombie nightmare, is far and away the most insane hidden camera prank we have ever seen. It is so terrifying that a woman literally passes out. As in completely unconscious.
In the US, this whole thing feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen—and to be totally honest, that's probably justified—but let's table those concerns for now and just sit back and watch the horror. Either way, Brazilian game shows are always the best.
