posted 10-14-09 by Angelo D'Argenio

People with too much free time are funny. See they have this tendency to take the most normal everyday thing and turn it into something that can grievously injure themselves. Now take this example and apply it to sports and you get some serious hardcore sporting events. Granted my idea of “football except you replace [...]

Do you ever wonder why there are so many videos of people getting hit by cars out there?

Top Dumb-Ass Backyard Wrestling Videos

posted 10-01-09 by Angelo D'Argenio

Let’s face it, as action fans we find action failures just as exciting as action successes. Insane jumps over fire pits and brutal martial arts fist fights may be amusing, but crazy bike crashes and horrible injuries are astounding. It’s the whole “can’t look away from a train wreck” phenomenon. It’s downright shocking and grotesquely [...]

Time for the Breakaway

posted 09-30-09 by Angelo D'Argenio

Breakaway objects have been the constant companion of stunt men for some time. Without them, stunt men would repeatedly get injured whenever they would get thrown through windows or tables or chairs, and the high mortality rate would make replacing them difficult to a degree several times to the side of “uncomfortable”. Luckily, very early [...]

It’s Almost Flying … Well Actually, It’s Falling

posted 09-24-09 by Angelo D'Argenio

Let’s talk about hang gliding for a second. It’s obvious that as action fans we have some sort of strange infatuation with heights.

Extreme Pogo

posted 09-14-09 by Angelo D'Argenio

Action junkies have always been a fan of extreme sports.

When we think of normal extreme sports we think of skateboarding, biking, rollerblading, heck even [...]

Please Hit Me With a Car

Homemade Explosions

Do not try this at home! I repeat, Do not under any circumstances try this at home! We are showing you these videos, because these people are totally and utterly idiotic. They woke up one day, and decided “hey, you know what I want to do, make a bomb” and they did. Most of their [...]
