hi, everybody, i'm beth troutman. why spend all day searching the web for great videos when we have the best the internet has to offer right here "right ts minute." o friends are in the middle of a street luge race -- >> cruising down this twisty road. >> what happens when things go downhill fast. >> you all right? we been in the race. her name is beyonce and -- >> she's a survivor. >> how a turtle escaped a sand trap with a little help from her friends. this is definitely not your -- >> normal, everyday girly

calendar. >> now, meet the brains behind the beauties of chrome and elegance. >> oh, my gosh, this is actually, like, the perfection combination. plus, get the buzzword for your chance to win a new ipad mini. and meet a couple who wanted to break up -- >> it was right around the holiday. >> and i didn't really want to wuertz yo burst your bubble. >> see the viral video. before long people across world are going to have luge on the brain because of, of course, the winter games are coming up but that's wintertime luge. i'm talking about street luge in this video out of rincon, puerto rico, we are riding along with a 40-year-old and his buddies. you're going to see one of them in the green and black sort of uniform as they're cruising down this twisty road. going about 50 miles per hour. that's one there. this is something called classic luge. for dudes over 30.

>> i like this because people who are 30 plus they already know about their own mortality. >> this is true. you can see that, you know, these races, these guys get really close to one another and as they go around this one turn, getting down really low and his knee close to the ground. here comes mike. like i said, these guys are friends and watch this moment here. >> oh! >> loses control. then takes out his buddy mike. these guys got to figure out where they are and get their bearings and find their board. they say they rallied here. they got on the thing after the big crash and continued the race. they were going back and forth the whole way down the hill. after that big crash everybody was okay. one did suffer a sprained ankle but he finished the race which is pretty impressive. we've got them joining "right this minute" from puerto rico. so, break down what happened in this crash here. how did it go down play by play? >> well, when we looked at the videotape we actually realized

we could see the big rock that actually hit his front wheel shifti ining his board over. >> it seems like once you guys fell you immediately got back up. did you say are you all right? anything like that? >> we spoke to each other and i don't feel nothing. i saw he was fine, too, looking for his board. let's go. i look at him and i go you all right? we finish the race. >> tell us about the type of gear you wear and how much that contributed to your safety in this incident. >> it is really important to have the leather suit. >> what was recovery time like after hitting the pavement this hard? >> man, we're still figuring that out. we got some bumps and bruises we've been floating around in the ocean right here trying to get some therapy out of that. we've got a race next weekend and the weekend after that so we got more to come. this is a green turtle and her name is beyonce. and she's stuck.

i think they named her beyonce because she's a survivor. this is on lady musgrave island in australia's great barrier reef a beautiful island. these campers see this green turtle is stuck so campers decide we got to help her out, there you see them pouring water over her keeping her hydrated because they said she'd been stuck there for hours. as you can see she's not light as a feather. >> right. you got to make sure you don't hurt her when you're moving her because you don't necessarily know how do i pick this giant animal up. >> eventually after they get her unstuck they get a blanket and move her on it. >> poor girl. >> she looks so lethargic and completely drained. i hope she pulls through. >> she was lethargic when they got her in the water, she didn't immediately swim away but she got her energy back. >> see her pop her head up. yay! now, off the departure bay

in beautiful vancouver in canada and there you see some dolphins, the people who are watching them love it and then you hear one guy saying hey -- >> you're being chamesed. >> the orcas show up in the circle of life orcas like dolphins and what is beautiful is the orcas are so close to the shore coming after these dolphins. >> oh, wow. >> like a double rain bbow. >> it's beautiful to watch, people that live there makes it really proud to be from departure bay because you can see shows like this all the team and as you heard from the video pretty amazing sight. oh, the job of a crane inspector. that's what this video is described on tape hard work. but it's not really what you're thinking. it's actually a group of guys inspecting cranes in israeli. look at this guy, he's

superstrong climbing one of the sides of the crane. >> that makes me tired just watching. look how high. look how far he had to climb. >> yeah. and the crazy thing that these guys keep doing over and over and it's mind blowing, they are not attached to anything, safety harnesses. nothing. the protection they have is the go pro centrstrap around their . i like this shot taking off of one of the towers. >> very gotham city, very batman looking. >> pretty cool. >> this is one of the creepiest one. we've seen this sort of thing before where they sort of walk across one of the limbs of the crane. >> a rounded beam and not even a flat surface. >> this is cool, as they are going on that beam, that rounded beam, they start panning out and you get a very solid idea of just how far up these guys are. yeah, look at that one. look at this. he's hanging on one arm. look. going down. he starts swinging and then he lets go.

>> oh. yeah. >> and he looked down. he looks down. he's not afraid to look down at the street and hundreds of feet below. let's celebrate by giving an ipad mini. > we'll be doing that in just a little bit we'll beelling ywin. >> the buzzword is coming up and you have to be 18 years or older and a u.s. resident to enter. >> it's your "rtm" ipad giveaway coming up in a little bit. just when you think you've seen it all coming out of dash cams, these videos both involve trams. keep your eye on this go right here a pedestrian about to cross the street. look closely, it's tough to see but that's a blue pedestrian crossing sign and it's also tough to see because the streets are covered in snow. it looks like the car stopped for him and he makes a break for it. >> no! >> oh! >> oh, wait, looks, like, he did a break-dance move and got his legs out of there. >> good eye, steven, he did not get injured. boy, was that close. he goes running across the

street and at the last minute checks to see whether the tram is coming or not. >> and the snow gets him and he slips and falls. >> watch real quick he tucks his leg and rolls out of the way just saving his leg from getting run over because that tram two have hit him. >> this one, i don't know what to say about this one, other than just take a look, you see up ahead there, there's a disabled vehicle right on the tram tracks. now, you've heard the term couldn't care any less. these guys are car stuck on the tracks. the tram pulls up and stops. look at what they're doing. peeing? is he peeing? he's peeing. the guy on the right looks like he was about to pee i don't know whether he did or not, but the guy on the left is the in full stream in the middle of the intersection. shake it off, we've got to move this car. >> pushing the car off the tracks should take priority over draining the vein. >> i agree. >> they don't care about whipping it out in front of the traffic in the middle of the day. >> sometimes you got to go. a kite boarder soars up high

to nail a stunt, but when something goes up, it also must come down. the crash landing that took him out. >> whoa! and little reese knows his stuff. >> the car. >> these are the family rules that are posted up in reese's family's kitchen. >> see how a 2-year-old delivers some words of wisdom. body pain? back pain? try bayer back and body. it's bayer aspirin plus a special pain relief booster, to relieve sore backs and soothe aching muscles fast. get moving again, with bayer back and body.

i think these two are video

exemams of taking extreme to extreme. first in cape town, south africa at the red bull king of the kite boarding competition pay close attention to this fella. you see this, that's a competitor named tom he was goig after the highest jump 82 feet. >> he didn't get swept up? >> he was trying to aim high, but when something goes up, it also must come down. >> oh, wow. >> did not stick the landing. >> in fact, he hit so hard he almost knocks himself unconscious. another competitor had to come out and help this guy. he was taken to a local hospital but is expected to be okay. now, this next video from lake tahoe on the california-nevada border also tough to watch. a couple of tourists, they are in their swim trunks, what are they up to? you heard of the polar plunge. >> right. >> people dunk down in the water

and hop down and get in warm clothing, no, these guys are taking it a couple miles further. they warm up by putting snow all over your bodies and then they hop out into the water. you think that would be enough, but, no, these guys go for a swim. the water apparently was in the high 30s to low 40s. this fella on the right is still going. this fella is coming back toward the shore and when he gets out, look how red his skin is. he went a little further and he comes to the shore and he hasn't had enough. >> he goes back out. >> at that point the water is probably better than the air. >> yeah, yeah. >> i guess. how is he not dead? if you're looking for a little extra motivation today, maybe some words of wisdom, look no further than little 2-year-old reese. smart guy. listen to reese here. >> the car. [ inaudible ] >> these are the family rules that are posted up in reese's

family's kitchen. reese lives in new york city with his mom, angela, h dad david and his ltls memorized th. [ inaudible ] >> he's got them down. >> yeah. >> this isn't, like, pick up your juicy cup or don't leave your diaper over there, this is stuff grown-ups need to do. >> right. wasn't there that old book everything you need to know you learn in kindergarten? he's learning it before that. >> i loves how he gives us the example of laugh out loud in case you don't know what that means. >> and been you are loved. >> i got to hand it to mom and dad for teaching him this so early. i mean, this will help him make it through life like a champ. >> mom did say he doesn't necessarily follow all those rules all the time. >> yet. but he's got them mem rise eori. that's the first step. >> look at those eyes. >> that was very good.

a guy catches his wife in the act. >> supermodel people talking about it. >> next, "right this minute." and still to come youtube funny guys rhett and link are -- >> blasted with every single nerf dart that our kids own. >> see how their kids hit them with their best shot. >> oh, my god. and we've got the buzzword for your chance to win an ipad mini coming at you next.

calendars especially with anything gear head, machine oriented. >> roger, has peterbilt traditionally done a calendar like this or have they always done sort of the bikini babel look? >> they've never done the bikini babe look. they actually did this idea back in the 1970s and '80s and i saw them and i have been a fashion photographer in new york and i love trucks, oh, my gosh, this is actually, like, the perfect combination of the two things i love to photograph professionally. so, i took it upon myself to ask the question, what would it look like if this idea was done well in the 21st century. and so by making this calendar i'm answering my own question. >> what did it feel like as a model to do this calendar? >> oh, it was fantastic, not to mention all the truckers who came on the shoot and we got to meet them and the dresses were absolutely stunning. >> when i bring victoria and agnes, it's like bringing hollywood to the scene which is what i've always promised the truckers. they make these incredible

trucks that themselves seem like they could be the subject of a movie and i was always, like, i'm going to bring, like, a hollywood pizzazz to it. what better way than really decked out, beautifully fashioned and red carpet look actresses. when you are buying peterbilt and class is embodied by this beautiful, classy woman and i kind of understand that language. rhett and link are doing in. >> we're goi to be blasted with every single nerd part that our kids own. >> yep, they've got five kids and they're allowing them to blast them with every single nerf blaster that they have. >> come on, boys. >> don't they look like mini versions of them? >> i love how the dude is just geared up. got so much ammo all over that vest. >> rambo. >> every nerf blaster that you guys own and every single dart that you own is on this table and on your vest here. >> and you're going to unload it on us while we're blindfolded. >> they brought all their guns and darts and everything.

>> i actually left, like, two or three home, though. >> here's the moment rhett and link are blindfolded. they say that's for protection. >> it's the best way to do it. you don't want to see what's coming at you. >> nope. >> you don't want to see the pure joy on your kids' face as they shoot you. >> three, two, one, blast! >> it didn't take long for rhett to get it right in the junk. >> oh, oh, oh, oh! >> right in the mouth. >> the little kid who is just sucking on his fingers. he's not really getting in on the action. but he's having fun. >> ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow! >> i hope that wasn't a dart that was stuck under the couch or the refrigerator for three weeks. >> ahh! my mouth! yes! >> oh, my god, what was that? it's a bazooka. >> oh. >> that was landing. >> oh. >> the little kid got in on the action shot one of them in the
