National Geographic's annual Adventurers of the Year nominees are in and it's time to vote for the next Adventurer(s) to win the prestigious award. For the past seven years, Nat Geo has searched the globe to find Adventurers selected for his or her extraordinary achievement in exploration, conservation, and adventure sports.

Among the 2012 nominees are action sports superstars Travis Rice, Carissa Moore, and Danny MacAskill.

With the release of the highly anticipated film Art of Flight Rice's willingness and ability to push the limits of backcountry snowboarding is on display for all. Big Mountain Snowboarding has gained a lot of attention in the past several months with Rice leading the way. Rice has developed into one of the best all-around snowboarders in the world: He is equally capable of showing up at X Games to win slope style gold as he is in pioneering a first descent in the remote Darwin Range on the tip of South America.

My favorite BMX gromlet does his thing, which is truly his thing, at Barnstable skatepark. I'm guessing he was battling the cold up there, but frozen knees won't stop his steeze. I hope Aitken has seen this kid ride because he'd be damn proud.

What can you say? The Fonz always knew best and when you dress like him, you get results like him. Scotty Cranmer won this year's Trick or Treat jam in NY in spirit of the Fonz. Check out the other riders and costumes from this year's event.

What would you say/do for an extra buck? Cause let me tell you, when I'm wearing my grey Fruit of the Looms I can barely spin a 360... But in Freeguns? Well, let's just say Dennis Enarson should watch his back...

S&M, a company notorious for knowing how to party better than everybody else, held a bit of a kegger in the spirit of Halloween and in the spirit of being bad ass people in general. To exemplify this further, Moeller (who knows how old he is now) saddled up and sent it over a car using a ghetto kicker and absolutely no landing.
