Watch two kayakers take on a 82 foot-tall waterfall
"In this video Sam Freihofer and Todd Wells paddle Metlako Falls on Eagle Creek, in Oregon. Though they did not both remain in the kayak to officially break Steve Fisher and Anton Immler's World Record set on 70ft. Middle Palguin in Chile, it was the tallest waterfall run in a two man kayak and it was most definitely stout." Via.
Nike's women's surf film
Leave A Message trailer for Nike's female surfers. I'm posting mostly because I liked the song - - Cassette Culture - We once had an empire (jungle fiction remix).
Red Bull kite-skiing
I've never seen kite-skiing and kite-snowboarding before:
Red Bull Ragnarok in Hardangervidda, Norway, is an endurance snow kite competition at Europe's biggest mountain plateau.*Buy Red Bull at Amazon.
This isn't your average day in the park, the challenging 63 mile (100 km) long track has tough natural obstacles with huge mountain climbs and descents.
New Red Bull cliff diving videos
New Red Bull cliff diving videos:
Imagine free falling at 53 MPH down the sacred well on the Yucatán Peninsula in the dark. These divers really get tested in the depths of Mexico as they go from the bright sunlight into an incrediably deep well over 88 feet down.
Move over Motocross, here's Red Bull's Donkeycross
"Combining motorsport with Donkeys, Red Bull Donkey Cross 2011 hit the slopes of Makrinitsa in Pilio, Greece to make for an event that was...unique. All the motocross skill in the universe is pretty much useless when you hop onto one of the most uncontrollable animals, so needless to say, it made for a pretty interesting event."
(There's some crazy Motocross in the video, too.)
Red Bull free running competition
It's a little too heavily-edited, but there's some incredible tricks in this video from the recent Red Bull free running competition in London:
I think the woman in the video is stuntwoman/free runner Luci Romberg. Here's a few videos that are dramatically more interesting than the footage leaking out from the Wonder Woman tv show:

Cool snowboarding park
Roofs, rails, targets, steps, and a yeti mascot (Shreddy the Yeti) - - if you turned an SSX level into a real snowboarding park, you'd have The Stash in Wyoming. The videos above show riders enjoying (and wiping out on) the course. And this video shows the park's creation and the carving of the yeti:

Surfing plus bullet time
Surfing plus bullet time:
Here's slightly more footage featuring Steph Gilmore:

In collaboration with Timeslice Films, Rip Curl took on an ambitious bullet-time campaign shoot in Malaysia's Sunway Lagoon Wavepool with lead surfers Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore, Owen Wright and Matt Wilkinson.
The revolutionary campaign captures surfing in a way never seen before, with the final visuals baring more resemblance to a fight scene from the famous Matrix movies than a promotional surfing video.
The two-day rental of Sunway Lagoon Wavepool allowed Rip Curl and Timeslice to operate in a more stable environment than the open ocean offers. The Rip Curl surfers were repeatedly towed into the machine-controlled waves by Jetski and their operational space was determined by the 52-camera rig set up in the pool.
Here's slightly more footage featuring Steph Gilmore:
