The "IF IT CAN'T KILL YOU, IT AINT EXTREME" CHALLENGE is the brainchild of Garrett McNamara.

I guess this means that rollerblading isn't extreme.
ANDREW LUSTER CAPTURED WITH MEXICAN MOISTIES: This from a Runman films email, "Staging the 1st Annual Puerto Vallarta Runman Film Festival, members of the unit successfully lured the fugitive Luster into the trunk of a rental car, by placing a sign on the bumper that read: 'Amigos, Runman Film Festival, aqui!' Once in the trunk, the unit tossed in a prairie dog roadkill, a copy of MEXICAN MOISTIES magazine, locked the trunk, did many shots of Tequila, and then went off-roading for awhile, before handing him over to local authorities."
