Video: Bluetopia - Adventure in the Blue Mountains of Australia

If you needed more proof of the wonderful adventure opportunities that can be found in Australia, this video will certainly provided it. The 15-minue long short-film follows a group of friends as they travel two hours outside of Sydney to visit the amazing Blue Mountains, an outdoor playground that offers climbing, BASE jumping, trail running, camping, and more. The group captured some amazing shots of the beautiful landscapes there, while also experiencing all of the fantastic adventures that this place has to offer. The result is this fantastic video, which I think you'll enjoy as much as I did.

Video: Danny MacAskill Rides the Alpe Adria Trail in Europe

Mountain bike rider Danny MacAskill is back once again with a new video, doing what he does best. For those not familiar with Danny, that means riding some amazing routes, while pulling off some unbelievable stunts, on terrain that few riders would even think about attempting. This time out, he's doing his thing on the Alpe Adria Trail, which runs for more than 750 km (466 miles) through Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. Typically this trail is not accessible by bike, so MacAskill and his team had to take what they could find along the way. The results – as usual – are pretty spectacular. Enjoy!

Video: 55-Year Old Female Mountain Biker Finds Adventure in Austria

How about a bit of inspiration for your day? Check out this video, which features 55-year old Uta Philipp off on a mountain biking adventure in Austria. She rides like someone half her age, and has a spirit that deserves to be applauded. She couldn't have picked a more beautiful location for her ride either. It looks like a fantastic place to explore on two wheels.

Video: Very Technical Mountain Biking in the Austrian Alps

Warning: If you have a heart condition, you may not want to watch this video. It features mountain biker Johannes Pistrol riding the Steinerne Rinne, a limestone peak located in the Northern Alps of Austria. But there is no mountain biking trail on the mountain, and our intrepid hero is forced to navigate his way down in a slow, very technical, and very exposed manner. This one will leave you squirming in your seat as he makes his way along some very narrow routes. Don't try this at home kids.
