When sports just aren't extreme enough anymore, athletes find ways to amp up the excitement. In Damien Leroy's case, he's adding a kite to his skis. The professional kiteboarder combines these two passions and hits the Unknown of Alaska to shred the endless powder.
The bromance to end all bromances reaches a new level. President Obama today surprised the VP with the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal Of Freedom (with Distinction), and things got dusty in there real quick.
In 2016, the Cleveland Cavaliers became NBA champions for the first time. And with a championship, comes a ring. The designers and crafters at Baron Rings reveal the process behind creating the 6.5 carat stunner that slyly captures the team's historic 3-1 comeback against the Golden State Warriors.
Highlight plays. High-flying dunks. Ankle-breaking crossovers. Brutal blocks. Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant can do it all — and in style. Now, you can wear his signature on-court kicks, too, the Nike Ja 1, a mid-top sneaker with a bouncy forefoot Air Zoom unit for when you're taking off, a cushioned midsole for when you land, a foam collar so you don't roll an ankle, and plenty of grip and a forefoot strap so you can easily break others'. Subtle touches like Ja's custom 12 a.m. graphic, handwritten signature, hand-drawn logo, and jersey number add a truly custom feel, even if this player exclusive is up for grabs to everyone to wear their own way. These do, however, fit a bit small — so size a half-size up for the best fit and performance.

The "drink of diplomacy", moutai has been served at important functions throughout the history of China. Great Big Story looks at the history of moutai, what it takes to produce, and why it holds such a culturally significant place in Chinese society.
It turns out, virtual reality isn't as new as we thought. The earliest example of the technology dates back to 1480 with Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel. Although it's not exactly the headsets and alternate worlds we know today, the viewers get immersed in the painting and transported into a virtual reality. From there, VR can be found throughout history in theater, simulators, and, of course, headsets.
Everyone's heard of Omega-3 fatty acid, and how it can be beneficial to overall health. That's because it was discovered nearly a century ago. C15:0 — pentadecanoic acid — on the other hand, was discovered only recently, and is thus harder to obtain, unless your diet consists of whole-fat dairy products and specific fish and plants (not a likely combo). Fatty15 is a pure, vegan-friendly supplement that delivers just the right amount of C15:0. Within just a few weeks of daily use, people report better sleep, improved mood, and less joint inflammation, likely due to the compound's ability to protect and replenish cells, improve liver function, and balance metabolism. The easy-to-swallow pills are available in single bottles of 30 doses each, or on a subscription basis.

It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. When the sun rose on New Year's Day, the iconic Hollywood sign had had its spelling slightly changed. The first time it happened was in 1976, in a celebration of California relaxing its laws on marijuana. VICE caught up with the merry prankster responsible for the latest incident, Zach Fernandez, aka Jesus Hands, to see what the motivation was for defacement.
