The Dean Potter: First "FreeBASE" ascent: One of the most revered climbers in the world, Dean Potter attempts the first ascent without ropes on one of the most difficult faces of the Eiger. With only a small parachute marking the difference between success and a near certain death, Potter once again pushes the limits of climbing on one of the world’s most challenging peaks.

Red Bull Night Riders: Red Bull ups the stakes with this “one of a kind” nighttime tow-at surf event which went down under the bright lights of the Atlantic City. Teams of two compete for their chance at the $5000 grand prize under the cover of night for both Big Air and Best Trick honors.
