Chris Sharma’s attempt at the world’s hardest deep water solo.  The infamous rock climber Sharma attempts a ropeless climb on a free-standing arch of rock near the Mediterranean island of Mallorca.  The unclimbed arch rises more than 40 feet above the water and forces Sharma to make a seven foot all-out jump to reach the next hold.
 
Teton Gravity Research (TGR) hits the Whistler, B.C. jib park with some of the top snowboarders in the world including JJ Thomas and Colin Langlois.  The riders explore the thrills of Whistler by heading off-road and having a go at bungee jumping.
 
Nomads & Respect, a ski trip across an entire region of Norway that has never been skied.  Norway’s most famous freeskiier, Stian Hagan, leads a group through the mysterious state of "Møre og Romsdal" to explore the many first descents.
