It’s safe to say things are a bit tense between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. The two fighters have been jawing back and forth while on their worldwide press tour—slinging insults, money, and veiled threats as they march toward the August 26 fight date. Like many other major sporting events, the Mayweather-McGregor press tour got the ‘Bad Lip Reading’ treatment. Naturally, it’s hilarious. You’ve never seen (or heard) the two hot heads like this before....

Picture two egg yolks suspended in water, jostling slightly when shaken, but staying intact and relatively fixed in place to represent the closed, sealed system that is your brain and cerebrospinal fluid within a helmet-clad skull. Most linear impacts won’t disrupt the yolks, but an angled hit, which creates a spinning impact, will scramble the yolks, rendering you concussed (or worse). “Helmets are fantastic at protecting the skull from breaking, but we found space to improve helmets to protect the brain from what it’s most vulnerable to: rotational forces,” says biomechanical engineer Michael Bottlang, Ph....

When it comes to margins of error, it doesn’t get much slimmer than what these two French wingsuit flyers pulled off. From the peak of Jungfrau, one of Europe’s highest mountains, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet BASE-jumped into a moving plane. The jump—which occurred among more than 100 others as a part of the pair’s Door in the Sky project in Empuriabrava, Spain—was unlike any BASE jump we’ve ever come across....

As tensions mount ahead of a scheduled speech at the University of Florida by prominent member of the “alt-right” Richard Spencer, a local brewery has announced plans to sabotage the event the best way it can: free beer.

On Sept. 30, 2018, Randall Reeves sailed out of San Francisco Bay aboard his 45-foot, aluminum-hulled boat, which he named Mōli. Over a year and 40,000 miles later, he’s back.

Words by Christian Shaw The morning broke amidst flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder. It was not so different from last year, with morning squalls forecasted to break way for clear skies, but the storms persisted. Seaport Manhattan and the East River take on a unique character during a solid storm, setting the stage for a grueling 25-mile paddle around New York City.
