There's no way this stuff really happened. It was all done with mirrors or something.

All looks real to me, EXEPT for the extremely long range basketball stuff and the guy running across water.
Got a Game Idea? Look Here!
Even I have made a crazy basket from over a full court away, with witnesses, mind you. The stuff in the vid is more than possible with multiple tries at it. Hell, in fourth grade a guy I knew (same class) kicked a basketball from halfway across the field, to the backboard, and through the hoop with a swish. This s**t happens all the time.
The running on water thing is actually a sport from indonesia where they run on top of a floating reed mat that simulates walking on water, and will keep them up so long as they keep moving. The angle in the vid just doesn't show what he could be running *on*.

lol that litle girl parallel parking her bike was the most impressive thing to me. i thought she was gonna run straight into the wall. the guy walking on water was walking on something as gtwander said, you can see it move in the water ahead of him as he runs.
what they don't show is the 1000 times the people failed or missed, just the the 1 time they succeed. only have to be lucky once

This thread wouldn't be complete without it's companion video:
People are idiots
Yeah, I thought the girl who parallel parked was cool too.
nothing like a nut shot to make me laugh till my guts hurt
on a related note my old man has a riding lawnmower we are gonna convert into a racer and do jumps with it like the one in the video. i'm the test pilot so i hope it works out better for me than that guy

Yeah they did that running on water viral on Mythbusters last week, Myth busted.
Some of the other stuff maybe the film something 100 times and use the one time it worked flawlessly.

I've been playing way too much Portal 2, my first thought was "That's not too bad, where's the other portal?"
Some people really are doing this. And have broken a lot of bones training to get that good at something. I was a cheerleader in high school and I think the cheerleader stuff is definitely believable.
Don't think that guy can really walk across water, though.
Actually he can...Kind of. And it's not what the other posters said either, there isn't a mat underneath the water. It's actually a special material their shoes are made out of, that when they hit the water, if they hit it at the perfect angle and speed they can keep afloat for about ten to fifteen steps. Apparently it's becoming a sport somewhere over in europe.
