If the Jackass guys played soccer

This first video is charming - - just lots of impressive soccer shots:
Inspired by Rémi Gaillard, professional football player Rafa Marquez took to the streets of Mexico City to be the ambassador for this challenging urban football event.




But here's Rémi Gaillard, well, being a jackass (and showing off impressive soccer skills):

Red Bull Kitesurfing




Beautiful scenery, although conditions were too difficult for stunts:
Gisela Pulido kiteboards one of the world's natural wonders, the 12 apostles. Located in the Port Campbell National Park, the Twelve Apostles are a group of eight limestone stacks that jut out of the water up to 150 feet. The area is known for having steady winds and rough seas which provide quite the challenge for Gisela as she boards between the stacks and the cliffs that line the beach.

Red Bull kite-skiing





I've never seen kite-skiing and kite-snowboarding before:
Red Bull Ragnarok in Hardangervidda, Norway, is an endurance snow kite competition at Europe's biggest mountain plateau.

This isn't your average day in the park, the challenging 63 mile (100 km) long track has tough natural obstacles with huge mountain climbs and descents.

New Red Bull cliff diving videos




New Red Bull cliff diving videos:
Imagine free falling at 53 MPH down the sacred well on the Yucatán Peninsula in the dark. These divers really get tested in the depths of Mexico as they go from the bright sunlight into an incrediably deep well over 88 feet down.

Move over Motocross, here's Red Bull's Donkeycross



"Combining motorsport with Donkeys, Red Bull Donkey Cross 2011 hit the slopes of Makrinitsa in Pilio, Greece to make for an event that was...unique. All the motocross skill in the universe is pretty much useless when you hop onto one of the most uncontrollable animals, so needless to say, it made for a pretty interesting event."

(There's some crazy Motocross in the video, too.)

Red Bull free running competition

It's a little too heavily-edited, but there's some incredible tricks in this video from the recent Red Bull free running competition in London:



I think the woman in the video is stuntwoman/free runner Luci Romberg. Here's a few videos that are dramatically more interesting than the footage leaking out from the Wonder Woman tv show:
