Mountain Dew’s Action Sports Tour is headed our way and Nike really wants to make peoples’ jaws drop. For their campaign, they hired the ad/design firm Hub Strategy who worked on this armor-plated war truck, turning it into a mobile extreme sport HQ. But, what makes this monstrous truck so extreme? It’s not the skateboard ramp on the back or the rails surrounding it. It’s not even the wakeboard water tower. It’s the ass-load of Mountain Dew this thing’s going to have in its camper when it goes on tour around the country.

Nike 6.0 Ill Mobile is its name and being extreme is its game. How extreme? It’s like riding in a parajet car with no helmet while Tony Hawk sitting passenger side throws money in your face. They built this monstrosity in only three weeks. Now, they plan on taking it around the country, frightening little kids and crushing any who can’t best its vert ramp.

Whether you own a hamster or not, there’s no doubt you wouldn’t mind rolling around in a motorized ball all day for shits and giggles. That’s why Evento developed the Buzzball especially for you. It sounds like a real pain in the ass to control though:

Once the Buzzball is in motion the pod maintains an upright position until the pilot turns, causing the pod to rotate inside the ball against the direction of travel, which applies a braking force and the pod to lock with the ball. This causes the pod to rotate with the ball until the weight of the pilot and pod overcomes the inertia forces and causes the Buzzball to change direction.

What the fuck? I have no idea how you even control this thing. Know why I think they call it a Buzzball? Because you go to the big hill with your friends, drink whiskey to get “buzzed” and then crawl in this ball and roll down the hill. First one to puke loses.

Take a deep breath before submerging yourself with the only underwater pogo stick.  Using a water-filled ball fitted into the footrest, this pogo stick is able to bounce off a pool floor with the help of some added weight. Just like the real deal, sans the natural force of gravity.

The underwater pogo stick is a staple of sports all over the world and brings a new element to extreme underwater sports everywhere. The only downside: you can only have fun for as long as you can hold your breath.

If you’re too lazy to play ball with your dog, turn the projector on. — Sam Chan
