moments of community prayer individual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and group workshops were important in doing so Poland – August 2023 – The retreat of the Salesian Leaders School - rekoSAS - was held for the first time in Ląd from 27 to 30 August and was a moment that young people had been waiting for all summer In addition to the young people from the Salesian house Lubrza and Aleksandrów Kujawski participated in the Ląd retreat The theme chosen for the retreat was: "Love" Paul to the Corinthians: "the greatest of these is love" (1 Cor 13:13) to remind us that love is the most important principle of the moral life The retreat for the Salesian Leaders School growth in faith: simply a time filled with God Poland - December 2021 - With the Mass presided over by Fr Tadeusz Itrych the 17th edition of the Provincial Servers Futsal Tournament began on 4 December The sporting event was organized by the Salesian Youth Education Association Taking part in the tournament divided into three age groups were: Aleksandrów Kujawski (parish of the Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians and Kolegium Kujawskie) Rumia (parish of the Holy Cross and Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians) accompanied by a dozen Salesians and a few dozen parents The award ceremony was presided over by Fr Itrych a vehicle is something that gets us from point A to point B — if we're lucky not everyone uses their vehicles for such simple tasks Stunt drivers and daredevils push them to the limit driving at high speeds and even doing insane things road vehicles weren't meant to do but please do not attempt any of these stunts at home with your own vehicle go to a friend's place and use their vehicle pilot Fred Osborne decided to do a stunt that was as simple as it was gutsy The idea was to drive a motorcycle over Huntington Cliff As soon as the motorcycle went over the side of the cliff Osborne would simply deploy the chute and land safely on the ground below probably with a prescription of whiskey and a carton of Marlboros While the movie Wanted has a lot of impressive car stunts one of the most memorable ones is when Angelina Jolie's character spins the car and picks up James McAvoy's character through an open door would probably break someone's legs at the very least where every character is a superhuman even if they're not advertised as one and then he hangs off the side of the spinning car before stepping off and then returns the camera to the spectator This marks one of the few times that someone made taking a selfie while driving seem awesome instead of just being plain old stupid and dangerous What's really impressive is that Grant was able to run in a straight line without falling over and you'll notice no one is wearing a helmet and there isn't really any other safety equipment Another source of danger is that Wells of Death aren't exactly the most structurally sound platforms and there are often big bumps and holes in the track — not exactly something drivers want to hit while going 40 miles per hour while driving horizontally on a wall That doesn't stop stunters from upping their stunts' risk factors over the years Riders now do stuff like trying to take money from the outstretched hands of the audience while driving and they're even known to switch from a car to a motorcycle Taking a cue from over-the-top action movies Felix Baumgartner — the guy who jumped from space — and Jakub Przygoński — a professional drift driver — teamed up in 2015 to perform a stunt where a helicopter chases a drifting car In the above clip, Przygoński races around Poland's Debrzno Airfield in a 1000-horsepower Toyota GT86, while Baumgartner chases behind him in a Bolkov BO105 helicopter a light and highly maneuverable twin engine helicopter the car and helicopter come within inches of touching which would have been disastrous for both men and their very expensive vehicles not even when the helicopter follows behind the car as it drifts around a MiG-21 fighter That shouldn't be surprising — one of these guys jumped from space He could bare-knuckle box a grizzly bear while skydiving and we'd bet our life savings the bear loses toy company Hot Wheels started to hype an upcoming world-record jump attempt by a mysterious driver known only as the Yellow Driver Their plan was for the car to drop 10 stories down 90 feet worth of orange track resembling a Hot Wheel track Millions tuned in because there was a good chance they'd either see something awesome On May 29, the audience held their collective breath as the car slowly rolled down the vertical slope. On the way down, the driver picked up speed, reaching 105 miles per hour, which was too fast, and then he hit the ramp. The car flew 332 feet across the air overshooting the other ramp and coming down hard on the front driver side the Yellow Driver was able to regain control and stopped the car before it crashed into the wall The jump demolished the old world record for longest jump in a four-wheel vehicle it was revealed that the Yellow Driver was three-time X-Game gold medalist Tanner Foust pulled off enough extreme stunts to last him and his family a dozen generations Ken Block is a rally car driver, co-founder of DC Shoes and a middle-aged man who says "dude" too much Block has a web series called Gymkhana where he drives his souped-up Ford Fiesta around closed city streets in a manner not too different than how most people play Grand Theft Auto Block has left the smell of burnt rubber in Dubai and Los Angeles but his best (and craziest) stunt driving was done on the streets of San Francisco Block does doughnuts around the city's famed street cars drifts through the narrow corners that make up the city Block and his Fiesta leap over the city's hilly streets It's a white-knuckle driving stunt where any turn could be disastrous In February 2016, Block put his crazy stunt Fiesta up for sale for $300,000 which is quite a bit for a used car whose former owner definitely wasn't a little old lady who only drove it to church every Sunday jump over an F1 car sounds like something out of Fast and Furious but it was actually performed in a publicity stunt by two stunt drivers from .. none of them are quite like the one in 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun It features stunt driver Bump Williams doing a 270-degree corkscrew jump over a broken bridge in Thailand and if you took a minute to watch the film you're probably thinking that jump was impossible and there had to be some kind of trick however the only trick is the film was slowed down A short French film from 1976 called C'était un rendez-vous ("I Have a Date") probably invokes smoking and existentialism, not car stunts. However, the film is actually eight minutes of stunt driving through the streets of Paris. The film was completed in only one take, and it was filmed using a camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 Lelouch drives at high speeds through Paris passing some famous landmarks along the way He goes down one-way streets the wrong way and blows by pedestrians before finally arriving and picking up a woman for a date it's a pretty exciting and enthralling eight minutes of film though one that could've been avoided simply by getting ready fifteen minutes earlier The stunt is even more insane since Lelouch did this on open and public streets and didn't come close to having permission to perform the stunt He was supposedly arrested after the screening of the film and he claimed the real culprit was an F1 driver whom he refused to identify since the driver is never seen in the film the charges against Lelouch were dropped because of a lack of evidence Lelouch admitted that he really was the driver with more guts than a basic understanding of physics stunt driver Ken "The Mad Canadian" Carter came up with the idea of jumping the St Lawrence River — a distance of more than a mile — in a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental Because Lincoln Continentals are known for their aerodynamic flying ability For nearly five years, Carter attracted sponsors and broadcasters and took their money, but anytime the jump was about to happen, it conveniently had to be cancelled for things like mechanical problems or the weather. By September 1981, Carter had spent a million dollars developing the stunt and people were thinking that he had chickened out who started working with Carter when he announced the jump almost five years prior made a full recovery and continued to do jumps for a good long time Carter, who had been lured away for a meeting in a different city at the time of the jump, wasn't impressed that they did it without him, and he vowed to attempt the jump again because Carter was killed in September 1983 while performing a different jump His rocket power car overshot his landing by 100 feet
