hello and welcome to top acts where we
count down the very best of YouTube I am
your host Dan and today we’re going to
be counting down our picks for the top
10 YouTube stunts video
for this list we’re looking at those
viral videos that have even the
healthiest of heart rates racing for
just a little bit we’re interested only
in stunts however and not pranks we
already do have a video for pranksters
and an upcoming one for pranks this
should go without saying but please do
not try and have us at home number 10
the first hold and release bungee jump
[Music]
[Applause]
a former gymnast and trampolina stews
now into freerunning damien walters is
one of the best-known stuntmen on
youtube however this video has nothing
to do with freerunning even though it’s
one of his most popular
[Music]
now even though the title is sort of
self-explanatory I was kind of confused
as to what this stunt entailed but the
video speaks for itself although it does
make you ask the question how confident
are you in your forearm strength now as
crazy as this looks the behind the
scenes videos show him practicing the
stunt a number of times with different
sized crash mats just to reassure you
that this was a professional stunt and
not a hold my beer kind of situation
[Music]
number nine POV rooftop parkour in
Southampton
I should have said something before but
this is not gonna be a good video for
those of you who are scared of heights
now parkour can be oppressive enough
when viewed from afar but with the point
of view this is a whole new level of
intimate kingston is effectively guiding
us around his hometown the british city
of Southampton but this is unlike any
other sightseeing tour you’ve ever been
on naturally the stunts speak for
themselves here but James gets nice
points for editing to the cuts flow with
the music
landings are timed with the beats and
the overall flow gives the whole thing a
real fluidity which helps create the
illusion that you’re witnessing a single
run rather than a montage of stunts
[Music]
number 8 roof our Luciano skya
[Music]
Mustang wanted is one of the best-known
names on YouTube for urban climbing and
well remember what I said about Heights
this is one of those videos that seems
to be less about the crazy elaborate
setup of the stunts and more about
showcasing the nonchalant insanity of
the subject it honestly feels like he’s
just screwing with you the viewer fully
aware of how much you’re freaking out
behind your screen while the remix of
Eminem’s lose yourself is about ten
years too late as a reference these
stunts are undeniably ballsy if nothing
else
number seven wild in the streets of Los
Angeles
I know what you’re thinking I Drive
every day how dangerous can it possibly
be how much of a stunt is that well
world famous driver ken block is here to
answer that with his souped-up 1965
Mustang
most of all the stunts we’ll see today
will make you say I probably kill myself
if I tried that and this is the one
where I can say without a doubt that I
would definitely kill myself if I tried
this he’s doing things that I couldn’t
even do in a video game
by the way if you take a really nice car
like that and put a monster energy drink
sticker on it you sir are the worst
[Music]
number six storm free run Volume one our
next video opens with the tagline we
will not be broken which quickly turns
out to be a very difficult promise to
keep I hope you like slick editing
because here comes storm free run
[Music]
based in London storm pre-run is
probably one of the tightest troops of
free runners out there and they’re here
to prove it the video features a music
video sports roster sort of introduction
to the team which would come off as
corny if the things they were doing
weren’t so damned jaw-dropping
[Music]
[Music]
if you get past the serious tone pretty
amazing camerawork and pulsing beats
what’s most impressive here is the raw
athleticism that’s on display the stuff
that they’re doing isn’t necessarily
scary it’s just physically impossible
for the average Joe and these guys are
bordering on near superhuman
[Music]
number five Peruvian jellyfish stunt
steve-o that Peruvian son just won’t
quit
if only I could wear a jellyfish
sombrero but where am I gonna find one
around here premise of this video is
devilishly simple where a jellyfish as a
sombrero and in that respect the Jackass
alumnus definitely succeeds but boy does
it ever look painful
[Music]
in case you think he’s making this up
jellyfish stings are no effing joke even
when they’re dead their tentacles can
cause severe burning irritation allergic
reactions and even blistering sure
that’s all external injury and nothing
compared to safe falling off a building
but you got to give the man credit for
launching himself headlong into this
horrible horrible stunt
[Music]
one more time never ever try this at
home or at the beach
number four Felix Baumgartner’s
supersonic freefall from 128 K
in terms of sheer scale nothing nothing
comes close to this when we talk about
out of this world this is what we mean
on a literal sense on October 14 2012
Austrian daredevil Baumgartner broke all
manner of world records and the sound
barrier by skydiving out of a helium
balloon an estimated 128 thousand meters
from the safety of the earth and land my
personal favorite bit is the
over-the-shoulder shot where he goes I’m
going home now and then drops gets me
every time
number three Shanghai Tower South
meanwhile our third-place finisher is
actually the most watched clip we’ll see
today and with good reason
check it out Shanghai Tower has been
under construction since November 2008
with its official height recorded in
August 2013 as approximately 632 meters
making it be second tallest building in
the world behind Dubai’s Burj Khalifa
just look at these crazy kids climbing
to the top of the tower wasn’t enough
they had to get on top of a crane on top
of the tower they’re literally above the
clouds just talking about this gives me
anxiety
number two world’s largest Rose wait
from the apparently fearless to the
clearly fun-loving the world’s largest
rope swing is exactly what it sounds
like the world’s largest rope swing and
it is pants looping the awesome
it’ll make you poop your pants brought
to us by Devin Supertramp this stunt is
set within the red sandstone landscapes
of Utah the iconic Corona arch to be
precise just goes to show what you can
do with a giant budget and giant balls
[Music]
with everything else on this list
however the danger here is really really
real the corona arch has quickly become
a kind of bucket list site for
adrenaline junkies of all kinds
resulting in injuries and even a few
deaths occurring on the rope swing in
recent years there’s no doubt that this
thing is cool but we again can’t
recommend that you try this should you
find yourself
[Music]
donezo please before we unveil our topic
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
[Music]
number one jeb Corliss winding the crack
we’ve climbed we’ve raised we’ve swung
ropes and to finish it off we’re gonna
fly for those of you that saw our stunt
channels countdown video you should
remember jeb Corliss but for those of
you that aren’t familiar with him let me
fill you in
he’s a wingsuit jumper which essentially
means he falls diagonally for a living
obviously the whole jumping off a
mountain flying through the air thing is
scary enough but the GoPro footage
almost makes it look relaxing that’s
when you cut to the stuff that’s on the
ground and that shows you just how fast
this guy is moving in a room for
mistakes that’s it for our countdown I
hope I didn’t inspire you to do anything
stupid or life-threatening now be sure
