NO, PLANE SURFING IS NOT A SPORT
12/26/2024 - A dead body was found in the wheel well of a United Airlines flight that traveled from Chicago to Hawaii. Train surfing and crane surfing are sanctioned sports, but not plane surfing. Please do not engage in plane surfing.
ALLY LAW IS DEFINITELY RETIRED NOW
BELOW: Ally Law announced on instagram that he is now a father. He hadn't done any crazy stuff in quite a while. It was self-evident that he had 'retired'. This confirms it. As much as we enjoyed his roofing, crane surfing, and security escapes lets hope that he doesn't come out of retirement. Babies need fathers.
GIFGAS CANCELED BY YOUTUBE
12/19/2024 - Haven't we had enough of the Sovet-style censorship over at YouTube? The tyrants at YouTube have canceled Poison (AKA GIFGAS) for 30 days, due to a 3rd 'strike'. Just another reminder that you must diversify onto Rumble and other platforms. YouTube has become ThemTube.
PARKOUR STUNT OF THE MONTH (Dec 2024)
12/6/2024 - There are still 25 days left in the month, but it's 'safe' to say that this shall be the stunt of the month. No pun intended. This was anything but safe! Oleg Cricket? No. It's none other than manu_na doing one of his signature side flips from high up on the iconic Eiffel Tower.
KEVINPARKOUR TAKES A SCARY FALL
11/27/2024 - @KevinParkour landed on an unexpectedly unstable roof, then came a tumblin' head and body-side first from at least 10-feet up. Fortunately, he had enough body control and a friend to lessen the impact. This could have ended badly. Even more impressive, he got right up and tried again. This is the second gnarly spill in only 3 days! #Fearless #Parkour
ZIGGI.KAITAI TAKES ANOTHER SPILL
11/25/2024 - Back in September '24, Ziggi wowed us with an ill-fated lightpost hop, to a slide down a wall, to a less than glorious landing. Never content to dial down the danger, Ziggi attempted yet another highly creative leap of fate! See from different angle.
POISON BECOMES SEPARATED FROM YET ANOTHER PIECE OF GEAR
11/22/2024 - Poison (AKA GIFGAS) managed to temporarily lose his camera on a freight train. We can remember him leaving his cell phone at a rail station way back when. Yes, he said it had all of his footage from his entire Canadian trip. Dude needs to periodically change out his cards and upload his footage to the cloud.
PARKOUR CLIFF JUMP
VIDEO - This was pretty insane! Combining parkour with cliff diving. A running leap-frog, a hop off the protruding rock, then a front-flip into the water.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SUBSTATION URBEX?
VIDEO - Nope. A girl with some mental issues decided to climb onto a high-voltage substation transformer in Utah. Authorities had to shut off power to 800 homes to save her from electrocution.
DYING LLAMA JOINS UP WITH BOISTEROUS TEENS
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - File this LIVE stream misadventure in the embarrassment folder. Dying Llama joined up with what seemed like a pack of boisterous, confrontational, marauding high schoolers who were out way past their curfew. Perhaps Llama met up with these kids for the first time and didn't know what he was getting into. Anyway, he should have bailed. When they were unable to open up a hatch (to get down into a subway?) they eventually found themselves picking a fight with some man at a hotel. Later the unfettered-testosterone kids clashed with some security guards. Better Urbex adventures next time. The video was apparently taken down.
Polianskii IS DOING SOME CRAZY S***
VIDEO - We're getting into Oleg Cricket heights here. Polianskii does a leap with a 360 twist, land on the edge, fall, and grab (to save his life). He calls this a 'modest jump'.
MORE SKETCHY LEAPS FROM manu_na_
11/3/2024 - We almost hestitate to report on these for fear of encouraging more dangerous stunts. Nevertheless... from 7 floors up!
DARKFOOT STEPS INTO TROUBLE
YouTuber DarkFoot tried a pipe climb that was bit too ambitious. Unable to pull himself up to the roof, he began his descent back down. Something went wrong and it looked like he fell from about a full 2 floors, apparently breaking his ankle. DarkFoot and his crew were forced to call for help. Unfortunately, the fire department paramedics were also accompanied by the cops.
A TRUE MAN-APE
Just when you thought there was nowhere new to go with parkour, @leo.urban has gone there. Climing trees with speed, hopping from branch to branch, using a thin tree stalk as escalator down, and doing it all barefoot! Check him out!
STICKS LANDING FROM 8 FLOORS UP
manu_na_ sticks the landing of another sketchy jump, this time from 8 floors up. (video) Careful dog!
WHO WANTS TO SHOW EVERYONE HOW THIS IS DONE?
A man who was fleeing from the cops tried an ambitious first-time parkour leap from some Brooklyn subway tracks to the roof of a building below. It ended badly. He was hauled off to the hospital on a stretcher. Here's the location on Google maps [1, 2]. It looks like the jewelry shop (Mak Magic) that he jumped onto is now vacant. Opportunity awaits! So, who wants to show everyone how this parkour leap is really done? @DomTomato could do this jump like it was just another day at the office! A shout out to @nuffsaidny for the video, although we can't find it on his Instagram at this time.
FAMILY JEWELS BRUSH WITH DEATH
10/22/2024 - Dennis Korra had a very close call! No harm, no foul. Keep on parkouring!
BRITISH DAREDEVIL DIES IN SPAIN

METAL GOD ROCKS OUT!
In the latest GIFGAS video (Trainhopping across Scandinavia) things were surprisingly dead in the city of Borlänge, Dalarna County, Sweden on a Friday evening. Where do people go for fun? At least a metalhead was rocking out before an audience of bulldogs in a park area (Google Maps - street view). Can someone identify him on social media so that we can credit him, promote his band, etc? Maybe even interview him? There used to be a nightclub in Borlänge called Liljan, but it has apparently been closed down for about 4 years. So, rocking out at the park may be the best a metal head can hope for in this town of only about 45,000.
