Pro streetballer Nemanja “Tricky” Blazic from Belgrade, Serbia, did the Mannequin Challenge with extra flair by spinning a basketball on a pen while writing, on the corner of a book while reading, on a wooden spoon while cooking, and more.
Professional bowler Michael Long picks up a spare with a striking trick shot where he releases one rapidly spinning ball that creeps down the lane around two specially placed pins before throwing another ball at regular speed to knock down eight of the 10 pins.
Downhill skateboard champ Zak Maytum flies down a long slope in the Italian Alps. “We tracked down some squiggles on the map and the road turned out epic. Here’s Zak’s first run, filmed by Justin Rouleau.”
Again, as scary as this looks, at 1:07, 2:34, 3:44, 4:06, 4:26, and 4:40, you can see that he is in complete and total control.

Hawaii
Pulitzer Prize–winning author James A. Michener brings Hawaii’s epic history vividly to life in a classic saga that has captivated readers since its initial publication in 1959. As the volcanic Hawaiian Islands sprout from the ocean floor, the land remains untouched for centuries—until, little more than a thousand years ago, Polynesian seafarers make the perilous journey across the Pacific, flourishing in this tropical paradise according to their ancient traditions. Then, in the early nineteenth century, American missionaries arrive, bringing with them a new creed and a new way of life. Based on exhaustive research and told in Michener’s immersive prose, Hawaii is the story of disparate peoples struggling to keep their identity, live in harmony, and, ultimately, join together.
