Red Bull’s Photos of the Year Are Your Adventure Blueprint for 2018

As another year comes to an end, a healthy dose of reflection is in order. Not too much, though, or you’ll start remembering your botched resolutions.

Meanwhile, Red Bull is ticking off so many action sports firsts you’d be forgiven for thinking their sugar water is actually Michael’s Secret Stuff. In 2017, the energy drink company facilitated BASE jumpers leaping into a plane, high diving during the solar eclipse and the new (also utterly terrifying) downhill mountain bike speed record of 104 MPH.

They recently released a batch of its best photographs of the year, so check out some of our favorites below and start hatching plans for 2018.
