To descend from the snowy hills, people used different items: basins, little bathtubs, mini tri-ski thingy and even inflatable doll. In general, the race has gone wild and very funny.

These maps are an interesting project that was developed by Eric Fischer. The maps show the population of various American cities by race and ethnicity, which are color-coded. Here’s what the colors stand for: Orange represent Hispanic population, Red is White, Blue is Black, green – Asian, Grey is other and each dot represents 25 people.. Really interesting and informative.

Do you like race competitions? Well, you’ll definitely enjoy this collection of racing photos as much as I did. Some competitions are very unique and funny!
The 'Tough Guy' competition is held annually in Perton, Staffordshire in which thousands of men participate and prove their strength. We showed pictures of how was going the ‘Tough Guy Race’ last year and here are some fresh pics that show you that it is not easy to get on this race and it was even tougher this time. Hold your breath and have a look.
The Dakar is an annual rally raid type of off-road automobile race. Most events since the inception in 1978 were from Paris, France to Dakar, Senegal, but due to security threats in Mauritania, the 2009 Dakar Rally was run in South America (Argentina and Chile), the first time the race took place outside of Europe and Africa. It returned to South America this year too. The race will finish in Buenos Aires. The participants will have to run for 9,000 kilometers.
Very exciting and spectacular race!
Annually, MAD club organizes the New Year charity race called Hoar Cross Downhill Soap Box. The race is run over a 1.25 mile course downhill, so all who want to participate in the race come here every time as well as thousands of visitors because the most unthinkable carts are involved in the competition.
Look closely at the photo, there is one person with some kind of weird thing on his head.
The Formula One demo races took place in Moscow last weekend and something interesting happened just before the race. An expensive blue Bugatti crashed into a fence.
Happily, the driver and the passenger were not hurt but the super car is not in a good shape anymore.
Quite an expensive accident and it’s a shame ‘cause it was a beautiful car…
I let you take a look on the pics inside the post.
On the first photo you can see the Italian Olympic swimmer Flavia Zoccari in tears.
Do you think she lost the race? In fact, she didn’t even participate. To see why - look inside the post.
Here’s an interesting story about two competing teams which can mean more than just a funny story. Perhaps you can see that in some enterprises they use the same system.
On June 14 on a Knockhill race track in Scotland, the pilot behind the wheel of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera tried to pass the good old Subaru.
Not only his attempt ended at the hospital but he also almost ran over one of the photographers. The latter, obviously, was a very lucky man.
I am 100% sure that you won’t guess ;)
In this type of race the most interesting thing happens at the very end.
Edit: it seems that we got wrong the information about this race.
We decided to quote our visitor who left us an informative comment. You'll see it inside the post.
The Kentucky Derby is held annually in Louisville, Kentucky. The race is known in the United States as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate duration.
Here are some amazing shots from this year race.
The race on Firebird Lake has ended for James Ray with serious injuries.
How could he survive such a monstrous accident in his race boat, which is the fastest in the world, at 240 mph?
Perhaps it was his capsule that detached in the moment of the accident, perhaps he was very lucky...
The important thing is that he stayed alive.
After the jump, you’ll find the incredible photos of this accident.
