Extreme Unicycle

Recommended Videos

X-TREME unicycle! Generally, you can add “extreme” to anything to make it sound more badass, but it helps to be able to back it up. Rider Max Schulze makes the argument that people that ride bikes with two wheels are sissies.

Luchadore’s gone wild

Although wrestling may not be entirely real, it is hard to fake the amazing acrobatics of this determined Mexican luchadore. It may be fake, but it is still awesome.

Matrix Ping-Pong

An oldie, but a goodie. The Japanese are weird, and for once it works out in their favor. If you haven’t seen this video, you are in for a treat, and if you have, this one never gets old.

The Red Shirt Guy from Blizzcon

There are so many cruel, cruel jokes to make about this kid who went to Blizzard’s annual convention and proceeded to school the game makers on World of Warcraft history. It would be tacky and wrong of me to pick on him. So please feel free to insert your own jokes below in the comments! As a reward for frightening the makers of the game, the now legendary “red shirt kid” is a playable character in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion. Unfortunately when he heard the news, the kid exploded in nedgastic joy.

Tyler Kirk is insane

I don’t actually know who Tyler Kirk is, and after watching this video, I have no desire to meet him because he is most likely insane. Enjoy him now before he dies horribly.

There are some advantages and disadvantages to using Teams either online or on the desktop. Let's take a look at them to help you decide which is best for you.

Keeping your Microsoft Teams status as "Active" can be a stressful experience if your boss is constantly looking over your shoulder. It might not be the most common Teams problem, but it's one we've all experienced at some point. While you might be getting on with something productive, if the person in charge doesn't know that and doesn't take kindle to "Busy" statuses, you may want to try some tricks to keep your status active when using Microsoft Teams.

Fortunately there are a number of ways you can do that, from the honest and transparent, to the slightly sneaky. No judgement here. You do what you need to do. We're just here to teach you how to keep your Team status active.

Microsoft Teams was introduced in 2017 as a unified communication and collaboration platform aimed at helping businesses and organizations get things done. Microsoft leveraged the company's existing Office software experience and created a unified experience between Teams, Office 365, and Skype for Business. However, as with all software, things don't always go according to plan. If you're using Microsoft Teams, sometimes you can run into problems.

We're big Teams users here at Digital Trends -- it's our go-to communication and meeting tool -- and we've come across a few issues ourselves over the years. In the event you're having Microsoft Teams issues, here's how to fix some of the most common problems.
