Kayaking through rapids in total darkness seems pretty dangerous and terrifying, but just-add-LEDs and looks like something out of a weird live-action video game fantasy world.

I hope you were lucky enough to catch the Perseid Meteor Shower last week. If you were watching it from the Spanish island of La Palma, a few of those streaks might have actually been these maniacs in wing suits.

The Ferret Scout Car is an armored and turreted war machine designed in the 1940s. More than 4,000 copies in some 60 variants are said to have been made, and few of them are even still in military service. But only one has a Chevy V8, long-travel shocks and a freaking winch cannon. Oh, and a racing champion at the…

Texas is inundated with torrential rain and biblical flooding. Roads are turning to rivers and carrying cars off all over the joint. Perfect time to take the ol’ Hummer out for a test drive!

Don’t write this car off because it looks like the homebuilt bastard of a hot wheels car and somebody’s discount Fiero body kit. It’s pulling off some pretty impressive moves here, and hey are those road tires?

Apparently when the Spa-Francorchamps track is too snowy to race cars on, it opens up for “other activities.” Like strapping a tow rope to a Nissan GT-R, a snowboard to your feet, and hanging on for dear life.

Apparently the Russian military has a sense of humor and some spare fuel to burn! Somebody let these goofballs hook tow ropes to a treaded BMP-1 war machine and ride through what looks like an army training range.

Remember that little aluminum skiff your grandpa used to take you fishing on? Turns out they go pretty fast with a modest engine upgrade and a few insane pilots.

Meet the RENNtech-tuned Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Extreme: almost eight feet tall with 5,200 pounds of dumper payload capacity, and is that painted-on mud splatter I see?

When pro drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. introduced his custom EcoBoost Ford F-150, he said it would be a daily driver. That could drift. And go off-road. And off jumps. It was intriguing as a concept, it’s freaking amazing to see in action.

The “Red Bull Air Force” is a real thing. Specifically; a team of lunatic aerial stunt athletes with an unlimited budget. Want to watch them try and outdo each other?

The KiraVan is apparently what you get from a room full of brilliant engineers with a bottomless budget. And of course, one objective: bring everyone’s high-tech adventure vehicle fantasies to life.

Dakar Rally season is upon us, baby. That means even more montages from teams with tons of money and vehicles. That pretty much means Red Bull. We just saw an awesome clip of their whole crew, but fans of the big rigs might like this spotlight on the Kamaz racing trucks even more.

U.S. Specialty Vehicles is offering a rebody for the Ford Super Duty that effectively turns the pickup into an oligarch assault vehicle. Not sure about its actual war readiness but it’s certainly going to scare the hell out of your neighbor’s Range Rover.

The premise here is simple. Take a farm buggy, completely redesign it to haul ass and hit jumps, put a talented driver with balls of steel in the seat and cut him loose in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Here’s RJ Anderson in XP1K3.

Robbie Maddison has ridden the mad offspring of a dirt bike and a surfboard over the waves of Tahiti and into eternal glory. This stunt is so extreme it’ll make you sweat Mountain Dew and fart out a Metallica riff. Don’t take my word for it, just watch the thing right here!

Red Bull’s marketing machine has finally Gone Plaid with the most meta brand-pimping campaign ever; they’re promoting their own promotional vehicles. Yeah you can totally follow their fleet of International MXT DJ booth/barbecuemobiles on Instagram bro!

Howe And Howe Tech brought us the Ripsaw EV2 private-use playtank, and we gaped in awe. They put tracks on a quad and we squealed like pigs in poop. Now they’re giving us another taste of the EV2 Extreme Luxury Super Tank in action and after seeing it you might look at your truck and say “why bother?”

Some creative Canadian cooked up with absurd chain-driven mower-based screw-propelled Max Max vehicle and we salute him.

Russian industrial outfit the GAZ Group would like you to meet the Ural Next line of heavy duty work rigs, about to hit the trail with a fierce hankering for trees and Unimogs.
