World Land Speed Record
With speeds that peaked 175 mph, BYU engineering broke the world land speed record for the 1,100 pound class by averaging speeds of 155.8 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. It took 7 years and 130 students to manufacture the custom built Electric Blue streamliner and 1 failed attempt to break the record.
Tougher Than You Can Imagine
A fire-breathing boar in full, rocket-launching body armor, on a motorcycle with a dairy-demanding chimp. Sounds like a job for a guy on a buffalo.

Vita Coco
Vita Coco has become the warm-weather essential for a generation constantly on the move, delivering a cleaner, more functional answer to hydration during another brutal summer of record-breaking heat. Packed with naturally occurring electrolytes — including 3.5x more than the leading sports drink — the brand's coconut water helps replenish what long commutes, beach days, workouts, and heat waves quickly drain away, without the artificial colors or overly sweet formulas crowding store shelves. Equal parts refreshing and performance-minded, Vita Coco bridges wellness and lifestyle with an easy-drinking formula that feels just as at home in a gym bag as it does beside a rooftop pool, making it one of the smartest ways to stay cool when temperatures refuse to cooperate.

Brooks Dash 6" 2-in-1 Short
Brooks takes a utility-first approach to training apparel with the Dash 6" 2-in-1 Short, a lightweight hybrid built for runs, gym sessions, and everything in between. Designed with a semi-fitted silhouette that follows the body without restricting movement, it pairs a breathable woven 6-inch outer shell with a supportive 4-inch boxer-brief liner engineered to reduce chafing and move freely thanks to 4-way stretch. Perforated side panels and a flat-knit waistband with internal drawcord keep airflow and fit dialed in, while a thoughtful pocket system adds everyday practicality with a liner phone pocket, key storage, and two external hand pockets for off-the-clock wear. The result is a versatile training short that transitions easily from workout to daily routine without missing a step.
