Speed Of LED Lights: Barracuda Crosskart vs Motorbike
YOU would be forgiven for thinking this is an unreleased scene from iconic sci-fi film Tron. Finnish YouTube stars Stunt Freaks Team have made the Tron races a reality with their latest stunt in which they strapped on LED nights to a motorbike and crosskart buggy while racing in complete darkness on ice and snow. The slick looking video was shot in Imatra, Finland, in sub zero conditions and sees Joonas Salin, 22, who was riding the motorbike, and Antti Leppänen, 26, battle to the finish line.

A SPORTS car made from cannabis hemp could lead the charge in making carbon neutral vehicles. Made from the chassis of a Mazda convertible, the hemp car is bringing a new meaning to the phrase ‘green machine’ and could soon be seen on high roads around the world. The man behind the car, Bruce Dietzen from Florida, hopes his environmentally friendly automobile could help debunk the taboo behind the cannabis plant and its uses. Bruce was inspired to build the sports car after hearing about renowned industrialist, Henry Ford, using the durable material in 1941 to build the world’s first hemp car.

Ride To Die For: Movie Buff Builds Fearsome ‘Death Race’ Replica Car
A TEAM of film fanatics have built their very own car equipped with machine guns and an RPG. Inspired by the 2008 movie Death Race, which starred British actor Jason Statham, the car started life as a Chrysler 300. Angelo Zannin, 47, and his team Z Montagen, a group of shop fitters from Braunschweig, Germany, managed to build the vehicle in just a few months. The car conversion cost the dedicated team €20K (£15,754) to build as it was in terrible condition when it arrived at their garage. Similar to its movie counterpart, the car boasts an arsenal of weapons and gadgets and can even emit smoke from the back and has a push button ignition.

Inside A Volcano: Explorer Travels To The World's Most Extreme Environments
AN INTREPID adventurer stands on the precipice of the most active lava lakes in the world. This incredible footage was shot by filmmaker Sam Cossman and shows his harrowing journey into the Marum crater, which is one of only seven lava lakes on the planet, located on the remote island of Ambrym, in the Republic of Vanuatu. In 2014 the 33-year-old left his home in San Francisco to fulfil his dream as a digital storyteller and tech-explorer. Sam and his team used high tech drones, virtual reality cameras, and biometric wearable sensors to learn more about the geology of such an extreme environment. The project was funded by iPhone accessory company, Kenu.com, and had a crew of experts including volcanic explorer Brad Ambrose, award winning videographer Conor Toumarkine, Drone Pilot Simon Jardine and Phd Astrobilogist Dr. Jeff Marlow. §The team created the first ever 3D scale model of a volcano and lava lake. They used drone mounted camera and photogrammetry software courtesy of Pix4d, which enabled the team to take precise measurements. Sam also utilised Sensum Biometric Sensors's wearable tech which uses lie detector technology to give a more accurate understanding of the physiological effects of the extreme environment on the body. NASA's SHERLOC instrument was crucial in helping the team investigate how microbial life can survive and form life in such an extreme location. The instrument was also used in NASA's Mars Mission Project. Other sponsors include Newtex who developed the specialised industrial proximity heat suit which allowed Sam to get within 10 metres of the burning hot lava. AltSpace virtual reality helped digitise the volcano into a true to scale virtual environment. Wearable World is an incubator for the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected Sam with lab company, Sensum – who equipped him with a wearable product helped visualize the physiological and emotional response to the descent.

Chill Seekers: Freediving In Antarctica
A GROUP of UK adventurers have made history as the first Brits believed to have freedived in Antarctica. Will Glendinning, 40, made the treacherous journey to the planet's most southerly continent with friend Dave Crump and four other crew members. Freediving involves going underwater without breathing equipment and relies on the diver’s ability to hold their breath for minutes at a time. Classed as an extreme sport, it is especially dangerous in the Southern Ocean, with icebergs “the size of small countries” threatening to collapse and crush divers beneath their weight. As a result, only around 10 people are known to have gone freediving in Antarctica.
