    Jumping Off The Worlds Highest Infinity pool
    Jun 8 2025
    Wakeskating pioneer Brian Grubb was towed by a custom-built drone before launching into a 77-story BASE jump off the side of the highest infinity pool in the world. The American had been dreaming for seven years of combining his two passions for “WakeBASE,” and history was made with the first jump of its kind at the Address Beach Resort in Dubai. The stunt began with a 94m wakeskate behind a specially engineered drone and culminated in Grubb leaping off a kicker from the pool’s edge and successfully BASE jumping 294m to the beach below. In the next episode of this series, go behind the scenes with Brian as he revealed how he made it happen. Where would you like to see Brian wakeskate being pulled by a drone next?

    Explained: World's Longest Ever Ski Jump (New Record)
    Jun 1 2025
    Ryōyū Kobayashi was used to jumping far, but even for him, the prospect of hanging in the air for 300m and more than eight seconds was a daunting one. In this behind the scenes conversation hosted by adventurer Robert Chursinoff, Ryōyū discussed the emotional and physical preparation he went through leading up to the record-breaking jump in April 2024. Key figures in the wider project team on the ground also revealed the weather challenges behind such an audacious attempt, and why the ramp was engineered in Iceland to give Ryōyū the best chance of a successful outcome. Breaking the world record was the culmination of years of hard work from the boy who grew up in a rural Japanese town — and he wasn’t stopping there. As we heard, Ryōyū wanted to push his limits even further. How far do you think Ryōyū could jump if he attempted it again? Let us know at podcast@redbull.com Follow Ryōyū Kobayashi on Instagram
