Wipeout Wednesday: Right in the Goods

Derek Pettie — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:09:46 +0000

Wipeout Wednesday: Faceplants

Derek Pettie — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:20:01 +0000

The last three are definitely gnarly, so if you’re squeamish or don’t want to see blood or hear people cuss like sailors then maybe I could suggest a Yo Gabba Gabba video.

Wipeout Wednesday: They Weren’t Ready for Winter

Derek Pettie — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:39:26 +0000

With November approaching the thoughts of lads and lasses of the winter sports persuasion turn to powder, and what better way to get ready for the slopes than to show people who weren’t.

Sarah Esterman — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:02:14 +0000

As of Monday, quarter-system university students are back in school, hitting the books and some of them—I’m sure—are taking classes in physics. These are folks that took lessons in the latter the hard (and painful) way.

From Derek: (Foot cam style.)

Wipeout Wednesday: Cruel Cameramen

Sarah Esterman — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:00:53 +0000

I’ve noticed a trend over the weeks of Wipeout Wednesdays: sometimes the people operating the camera aren’t very nice. They laugh and laugh while the wipeout-ees are bleeding and groaning. So to all the snickering “friends” out there that happen to pull out a camera at the right time: thanks, you make this roundup possible—er, I mean, karma will come for you. Yeah, that’s totally what I meant to say the first time.

From Blake: (Kind of sounds like the hyenas from Lion King.)

Wipeout Wednesday: Paraglider Woes

Sarah Esterman — Wed, 04 May 2011 15:28:32 +0000

Much like when Rick did a roundup of hang gliding crashes, now that I’ve spent some time watching paragliders crash to the ground, I’m pretty sure I never need to go paragliding myself.

Wipeout Wednesday: Snowboarding Crashes

Sarah Esterman — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:00:59 +0000

If you’re like a lot of people, you probably spend quite a bit of your time at the mountain during the winter months. Also, you probably fall sometimes. These are those times.

Wipeout Wednesday: Mountain Bikes Maim

Sarah Esterman — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:00:36 +0000

It’s summertime and the weather is just right for taking your two-wheeled ride out onto the trails. But be careful out there, because eating dirt and tumbling down hills is just as—if not more—painful as crashing on pavement.

Wipeout Wednesday: Blades of Pain

Rick Olson — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:22:04 +0000

Ah, rollerblading. Often considered the ugly stepchild of extreme sports, it strikes a chord in most of our hearts. C’mon, you know you’ve tried before… perhaps more than once. Willy Wonka even rollerbladed! “If the good lord had intended for us to walk, he wouldn’t have invented rollerskates,” he said.

So now that the sun is shining, swallow your pride, dig out your short shorts and hit the esplanade on your fresh pair of skates. Just don’t end up like these booters.

(Who says rollerbladers don’t have balls? Well, had balls.)

Wipeout Wednesday – Rip Snortin’ High

Rick Olson — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:50:05 +0000

It’s been a momentous few weeks for the Jolly Green Ganja. South Park aired an episode about it’s medicinal capabilities. Stoners worldwide celebrated like it was Columbus Day. And, of course, California has added the legalization of cheeba to the ballot. Advocates predict its regulation could generate $1.4 billion for the state, but we here at Wipeout Wednesday know it will actually generate 1.4 billion new Youtube acts of stupidity. So if you’re a California resident, enjoy the following videos, ponder the possibilities, and vote yes for the greater good.
