Travis Pastrana: Defying The Elements On A Dirt Bike

I’ve never heard of Travis Pastrana just like I’d never heard of that huge LEGO tower at first. But now I know who he is, thanks to this video of him being a professional badass. It seems Travis has the balls to ride a Suzuki dirt bike at 70 miles per hour in deep water, essentially skimming the surface and traveling on the top of the lake.

Then, at full speed, he flies onto a floating freestyle motocross ramp and gets airborne. Only the video below can do him justice. After all, who in their right mind would ride a dirt bike across a lake on top of it’s surface? Certainly not you or I.

Solar-powered illuminated house numbers help night stalkers track you down

Ever been invited to a friends house for the first time at night, but had to call them 20 times because of the inability to see any of the numbered addresses on the houses? We’ve all been there. By the time you get to the house, your friend is already so sick of talking to you that hanging out just isn’t that fun. These solar-powered illuminated house numbers by EZView could help solve all of that.

During the day the numbers are turned off to charge for the rest of the day. At night, the numbers light up with a red glow that makes them visible up to 100 feet away. Plenty of room for most homes to be found easily. No need to worry about the elements either. The numbers are completely weatherproof. Each number strip costs $15, so the longer the number on your address, the more money you’re going to have to spend. Though, it will most likely save you hassle and money in the future. — Andrew Dobrow
