Huahshan Mountain is crazy. Speedflying is insane but amazing view. Longboard video was great all around. Coaster, looks fun. They even have two girls on the page for it, so cant be that hard!

I rode an apline rail just like that...

Not there, but years ago up in New Hampshire at Attitash ski mountain. Mine had a brake stick in middle ..but no seat belt:shocked2:! Fun, but couldn't help thinking it was an accident/ lawsuit waiting to happen with no seat belt and excessive speed on curves sitting in 'open' sled.

Just because it's a commercial ride at Mt/park...don't assume you're completely safe. I had a cousin years back who was killed on a water slide ride at another NH amusement park.

On the bright side...nice videos!

how about this..

I rode a waterslide that had a spot in it that with enough speed would launch me (not what it was designed to do) like a skijump launches a skier. Did it twice and realised that with one wrong bobble I'd be on the concrete. An Alpine Mountain Slide near here closed after awhile probably because yahoos like me would not apply enough brakes and would fly out of the slide into the brush. I'm going to gps my rollerblade speeds this w/e , lately going down wind I'm finding myself passing bike riders in speedo suits.

Thanks for the adrenaline boost! Great videos for sure. The messengers were probably the craziest by far! The Speedskiing was just plain bad a$$. I have seen that video a couple of other times, it just gets better and better!
