THE ANIMAL KINGDOM The fastest living things on the planet, all courtesy of wonderful Mother Nature. LAND | Cheetah Although it’s practically general knowledge to know that a Cheetah can sprint super-fast, most people don’t know the actual numbers that this agile cat can really do. Let’s just say, if you spot one, no pun intended, just remember to keep as far away as possible because these felines are capable of reaching (recorded) speeds of between 68 (110kph) and 75mph (120kph). Our best advice for seeing a Cheetah in person outside of captivity is through the lens of a good pair of binoculars. AIR | Peregrine Falcon The most suited speedster of the sky has to be a falcon right? The Peregrine Falcon also unofficially referred to as…

HI LEAH, COULD YOU TELL OUR READERS A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF? I live in Los Angeles and Miami, having grown up in Amsterdam, the Netherlands which makes me Dutch. Amsterdam was too small for me and so I chose to move to the U.S. I also like the weather much better in California and Florida since it’s mostly gray and gloomy in Amsterdam. I always wanted to live somewhere where it’s sunny! I love the beach and my Pomeranian fur baby Capri. My passion is traveling and seeing the world. WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL REACTION WHEN YOU WERE CHOSEN TO SHOOT FOR FHM? I was beyond excited and honored! HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A SHOOT? I begin by getting my nails done and then hair, 10 hours of sleep…

LUIGI’S MANSION 3 The third in the series is arguably the best and another great addition to the ever-growing selection of must-have games on the Nintendo Switch. It’s atmospheric and will provide a fun-filled gaming experience that the entire family can enjoy over the course of its relatively short story. Collectibles such as the Boos or Power Gems will offer further objectives throughout the time you spend in the wonderfully atmospheric Last Resort Hotel, yet it’s the self-exploration that truly makes this game shine. Once again Luigi proves that he might just be the best brother in the famous Mario Brothers franchise. DIRT RALLY 2.0 Although it’s been a relatively quiet year for racing games, Dirt 2.0 came out of nowhere and blew away the competition. It’s a fantastic looking…

Back to today, California is an amazing assemblage of varied cultures, geographic segments, and social classes meaning there are several fascinating and breathtaking aspects to explore. With its vibrant cities, beaches, amusement parks, and natural wonders like nowhere else on earth, California is a truly intriguing land of possibilities for avid travelers and locals alike. In the following pages, we’re going to explore some of these awesome venues, places like the gateway cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles which are home to some of the state’s most well-known sites including the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, and Disneyland. But mand-made marvels are not all on offer here, California’s national parks cover a wide variety of terrains like mountains, forests, deserts, coastal areas, and islands which all provide their own outstanding…

Clones for Days (Episode II: Attack of the Clones) For many, the George Lucas inspired sequels still leave a bad taste in their mouths, but there is no question the prequels did have some epic moments and none more epic than the Kamino scene where Obi-Wan visits the remote rain-soaked world of Kamino, where long-necked aliens craft the foot soldiers of the Empire’s genesis amid placid environments so sterile it might as well be a hospital. Of course, Obi-Wan’s intense battle against flying bounty hunter Jango Fett and his son Boba is a massive highlight for any Star Wars Fan. Speedracer (Episode VI: Return of the Jedi) One of the most iconic scenes from the original finale was the tense and jaw-dropping speeder scene from Jedi. Luke and Leia’s pursuit…

Macan, that’s Porsche’s most popular model, isn’t it? Most customers will gladly save the money to buy the 3.0-liter 6-cylinder Macan S with a healthy output and leave the Turbo version to those real Porsche anoraks who refuse to see this as anything other than a Porsche 911 Carrera for the family. Sounds juicy Don’t get too excited, this is a segment densely populated by powerful 6-cylinder engines, and the occasional 8 cylinder. Power outputs are eclipsed by the X4 M, GLC 63 AMG and the Velar SVAD. The 0-60mph (100kph) time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 168mph (270kph) is only a fraction quicker than the outgoing Performance Pack model but still down on the GLC 63 AMG, BMW X4 M and Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV. Frightening…

CAN YOU TELL OUR READERS A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF JILL? I have the biggest laugh in the room and my personality matches it. WHAT WAS IT LIKE GROWING UP? Growing up was all about playing in the dirt as a child. I lived on a country road and often brought home critters as pets. WHAT WAS YOUR FHM PHOTOSHOOT LIKE ON ONE OF THE PRETTIEST BEACHES IN CALIFORNIA? My photoshoot on Santa Monica Beach was a challenge as I had badly sprained my ankle the night before. It was an experience of a lifetime with perfect weather. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEATURES THAT YOU’D SAY ATTRACT MOST MEN TO YOU? Men frequently comment about my eyes and my smile but these long legs always take the win on the…

How fast does the Virgin Galactic go? SpaceShipTwo is projected to fly to a height of 68 miles (110km), going beyond the defined 62-mile (100km) boundary of space and lengthening the experience of weightlessness for its passengers. The spacecraft would reach a top speed of 2485mph (4000 km/h). How much is a commercial flight to space? Well, it all varies depending on the distance. It could be as high as tens of millions of dollars or as low as 250k - which is low, by comparison. If you’re looking simply to cross the Karman line and breach the threshold of outer space, then Virgin Galactic says it will take you there for $250,000. How much does it cost to go to the International Space Station? A trip to the International…

DJI Osmo Action Hey, what could be cooler than flying your very own high-tech drone, right? DJI is an industry leader that’s well-known for its amazing drone technology. And now, they have decided to take on the GoPro with their revolutionary Osmo Action. The action camera bests the GoPro’s impressive Hero 7 Black with a color LCD screen on the front, perfect for selfies and vlogging. That’s not all, other epic features of the Osmo include super-smooth in-body electronic stabilization and a lens design that supports neutral density (ND) filters for capturing better footage in bright situations. Plus it’s cheaper than its main competitor which is a real value-for-money proposition. So go on, get one, with all that power at your disposal you could be taking some awesome aerial footage…

THE MILWAUKEE-EIGHT 114 ENGINE MUSCLE The Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine (114 CID; 1868cc), the only engine choice for the Low Rider S model, delivers the most displacement offered in the Softail chassis from the factory, cranking out 119ft. lb. of torque at 3000rpm. A dual internally counter-balanced system reduces engine vibration while maintaining the familiar Harley-Davidson feel, while deep-breathing, four-valve cylinder heads and dual spark plugs squeeze the most power possible from every ounce of fuel. The engine is equipped with a Gloss Black Ventilator air intake with an exposed filter element to improve airflow into the engine, and 2-into-2 offset shotgun mufflers for an aggressive, performance look. THE HARD-EDGE COASTAL STYLE Raised hand controls are a defining element of the coastal custom influence. The Low Rider S model mounts a…
