13 Inflatable Water Slides To Make Backyard Time Even More Fun
An inflatable waterslide that'll upgrade your pool into a water park party the second you blow it up — hours of fun, here you come! It has built-in climbing holes and handles to support any clumsy climbers. 😅 A Little Tikes double water slide to appease your kids' competitive nature *and* keep 'em cool at the same time — they can race to climb to the top and each slide down one of the sides! There's a surprise bucket that dumps water right down the middle to make things more challenging. Ready, set, go! A bounce house/double waterslide combo, your kids will take one look at and wonder if their wildest dreams have actually come true. They can jump until their little legs get tired, soak each other with water guns, shoot baskets, coast down dual water slides, then take a rest in the pool area. An inflatable waterslide that'll cost you waaaay less than sending your entire brood to summer camp this year — they'll have the best time ever slipping and sliding on even the hottest of days. Camp Backyard is in session, my friends. A tropical-inspired inflatable bouncer complete with a water gun, a slide, and a lil' wading pool your kids can hang in from sunrise to sunset. Make yourself a piña colada, pull over a chair, and enjoy the day. An inflatable water slide that'll help you give your kiddos something to do on the hottest day of the year (and ensure YOU don't have to pack the entire car up in a zillion degrees to go to the beach with your entire fam in tow). In addition to the awesome built-in climbing wall, slide, and pool, there's a fun tunnel they can crawl through. An inflatable play area for little ones who are hoping to have a *~dino-myte~* time this summer and for parents who don't have a ton of yard space to spare. It has a smaller footprint, you'll appreciate, but all the fun features (a waterfall, a sprayer, and a little slide) of a larger option. A castle-themed inflatable water slide you can count on to buy you enough time to kick back and eat an ice pop in peace while your minis scale the curved wall and slide down over and over (and over AND OVER). A crocodile-themed water slide all the kids in your neighborhood will be chompin' at the bit to take turns playing on together — it has a climbing wall, a water cannon, and a basketball hoop. Hope you have juice boxes and snacks at the ready, because your yard is about to become THE spot. An inflatable water slide with an impressive climbing wall that'll turn your tykes into miniature Alex Honnold rock climbers, but without the stress of them *actually* free soloing (like they keep trying to do at the darn playground). It has a bunch of spraying features to amp up the challenge and keep them cool in the hot sun. An inflatable waterslide starring two basketball hoops, water fountains, and an awesome cannon that'll earn you major cool points with your kids this summer. You'll all be splish-splashin' your way through the next heat wave. A next-level inflatable slide for parents who want to turn summertime into a water-filled extravaganza! It boasts two slides, a climbing wall, a basketball hoop, a big pool play area *and* safety netting at the top. Come September, when their teacher asks what the best part of their summer break was, their answer is going to be a resounding: playing on my waterslide. And a splurge-worthy 16-foot water slide adults and kids can both enjoy, because you absolutely deserve to embrace your inner child and get involved in the fun! You can even use it on cooler days sans water for all-seasonal sliding.

Five of the best sports documentaries of all time (and where to watch them)
The great thing about sports documentaries is that they can cover a huge, HUGE amount of events. Obviously, the stuff that immediately comes to mind are the huge sporting events from around the world, but if you think smaller, think more niche, there is very likely a fantastic documentary dealing with that event too. Fascinated by deep-sea diving? A must-watch for you is The Deepest Breath. A lover of e-sports? Then you have to check out The King Of Kong. Looking for something completely left field but still super competitive? Spellbound is the one for you, set in the world of spelling bees. Sports fans tend to follow more than just the games—news, stats, even things like betting offers often come up in the mix. These documentaries tap into that same wide interest, showing how deep the love for competition can go. See what we mean? There is quite literally something for everyone. Whittling down that list to five of the best is tough, but these picks are tremendous, and some of the best movies ever made, not just under the banner of sports documentaries. So on with our five picks, and where to watch them* right now: Free Solo – Disney+ From the description alone, you would be forgiven for thinking this isn't going to be THAT interesting a watch, as the documentary profiles rock climber Alex Honnold on his quest to perform the first-ever free solo climb of a route on El Capitan, a vertical rock formation found in Yosemite National Park in California. So you'll have to trust us when we tell you this is one of the most edge-of-your-seat movies you'll ever see, and it proved to be so impressive that it went on to win the Best Documentary Oscar back in 2019. Murderball – rent on Apple TV This documentary focuses on the intense rivalry between the American and Canadian wheelchair rugby teams in the run-up to the 2004 Paralympic Games taking place in Athens, Greece. We get to know the players and their families, who all talk openly and frankly about their injuries, personal lives, and the love of the game that has them all vying for the gold. This movie was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2006 Oscars, but lost out to March of the Penguins. Icarus – Netflix Some of the best documentaries are those that begin filming with something specific in mind – in this case, director Bryan Fogel wanted to expose the inadequacy of the procedures to catch athletes using performance-enhancing substances – but become something else over the course of the movie being made – here, the World Anti-Doping Agency's investigation of doping in Russia led to the head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory to flee his country and become a whistleblower. Icarus went on to win the 2018 Best Documentary Feature Oscar. Senna – Netflix Arguably one of the best and most impactful documentaries not to even be nominated for an Oscar, this film tells the story of much-loved Brazilian motor-racing champion Ayrton Senna. Directed by Asif Kapadia (who went on to win an Oscar in 2016 for his Amy Winehouse documentary), it tells us about Senna's life, death, and intimate rivalry with fellow driver Alain Prost through archival race footage and home video recorded by Senna's friends and family. When We Were Kings – Sky/NOW Another Best Documentary Picture winner, focusing on the night of The Rumble in the Jungle in 1974. Betting offers on underdog Muhammad Ali were 4-1 against the then-unbeaten, heavy-hitting George Forman. It took director Leon Gast over 22 years to edit and finance before it could be released in 2006, when it was met with immediate critical acclaim, and the movie is still considered to be one of the best sports documentaries ever made.

Trailer for the Supernatural Rock Climbing Horror Survival Film THE SOUND — GeekTyrant
Here's a teaser trailer for an interesting-looking new supernatural horror film called The Sound , and what makes this one unique is that it's horror film that involves rock climbing. In the film, 'a world-class group of climbers is granted access to the Forbidden Wall, a mysterious rock wall previously closed for decades. Among all the climbers is Sean (Marc Hills), whose grandfather made an ill-fated attempt 63 years earlier. 'During the group's ascent, they come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival hundreds of feet above the ground.' The movie actually looks pretty good and as someone who enjoys rock climbing and horror movie, I'm all in! The movie was written and directed by Brendan Devane, and the cast includes William Fichtner, Marc Hills, Jocelyn Hudon, David Clennon, Christina Kirkman, Kyle Gass and real climber Alex Honnold. The Sound will hit select theaters and VOD starting June 27th, 2025.
