Feel like rocking the Eric Bana in ”Munich” look (minus the strange love scene at the end)?  Grab one of these.

You know you have a Huka addiction if you make yourself a traveling edition to your collection. Meet the Huka-on-the-go. My friend Jason is everything Huka and is in the starting phases of his Huka table company. I can attest he leads the lifestyle of a true connoisseurs of the Middle-Eastern pastime.

Step back in time to the days of muddy pitches, wool shorts, bloody knees, and stout pints after the match with your mates at your local. They called the game “association football” and England ruled the planet both on and off the pitch. This old skool leather retro football completely rocks the house.

Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell) is a sex addicted, medical-school dropout who has devised an ingenious scam to pay elder care for his Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother (Anjelica Houston): he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants, allowing himself to be “saved” by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him. When he’s not pulling the choking stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops, visits his mom and spends his days working at a colonial theme park.

On August 16, 1960, Joseph Kittinger jumped his last Excelsior jump, doing so from an air-thin height of 102,800 feet (31,334 meters). From that nearly 20 miles altitude, his tumble toward terra firma took some 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Exceeding the speed of sound during the fall, Kittinger used a small stabilizing chute before a larger, main parachute opened in the denser atmosphere. He safely touched down in barren New Mexico desert, 13 minutes 45 seconds after he vaulted into the void.

The jump set records that still stand today, among them, the highest parachute jump, the longest freefall, and the fastest speed ever attained by a human through the atmosphere. Somewhat in contention is Kittinger’s use of the small parachute for stabilization during his record-setting fall.

This is made from 714 metallic balls and is at the BMW museum in Munich. If you stare at it, it looks like it is moving a little. Pretty crazy.

Our boy James over at one of Europe’s finest action sports companies (Kaos Brands in Action)  hit me off with a couple of videos this morning showing some of the illest base jumps I have seen. I remember seeing some guys jump off the side of a high rise building in downtown San Diego when I was there for the Air Races which was cool, but this is some other level type jumping.
