Oli Lemieux, the Trampoline Machine
I thought I was cool because I could do a backflip on the trampoline when I was a kid. Apparently I was just scratching the surface. Check out this video of Cirque du Soleil performer, Oli Lemieux (warning: song contains adult content, so turn down the speakers if you’d rather not hear it…the amazing stuff is all Oli, so don’t worry, you won’t lose a thing):

Indoorcycling…and a successful triathlon!
Back in August I told you about the amazing day-improving power of doing something you never thought you could do. Well, I DID IT! This past Sunday I successfully completed my first triathlon (yes, swimming, biking, and running, one after the other), and I can’t wait to do it again.
So in honor of adult-onset triathletes everywhere–and in thanks to my amazingly supportive family and friends–here are some feats of bicycle dexterity. Although I’ve not seen these done in a triathlon, never say never…
Seriously. NEVER say “never”. You might cut yourself off from a wonderful life-changing experience. Instead, do one thing today towards a “crazy” goal, and see where that takes you.

Rollercoaster reactions
I’m a huge fan of rollercoasters (except for those evil straight-up-and-down hairpin things), so I got a kick out of seeing all these folks…um…enjoying a really scary one. It does look pretty terrifying, but you’re OK, you’re OK, you’re OK, you’re OK!

RV Demolition Derby
Leave it to Orange County, California to make a big summertime event even bigger.
Check out these highlights from the first ever RV Demolition Derby (for more details, including where the idea came from and how they prepped the RV’s, read the full story here). And congratulations to the giant stuffed panda for holding on as long as he did…he’s one heck of a rooftop rider.
