![Biker Pulls Off Amazing Stunts in a Toy-ish Landscape [video]](/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/bike-stunts-in-a-toy-landscape_2.jpg)
This video has got the stuff. A creative setting, and mindblowing stunts, the whole package. Daredevil biker Danny MacAskill’s new film shows him riding his bicycle in a landscape that is inspired by gigantic toys and a setting similar to a toy room. Using these as props, the biker does unimaginable and wondrous stunts, just like we sometimes made the toy-bikers do.
This insane canyon cliff jump involves rolling on a 90meters rope swing, shouting at top of your lungs and probably praying fervently to god.
The machine is quite similar to the classic Rube Goldberg machines. Only this one has humans as a primary element, giving that much of an appeal.
That’s impressive drifting for you, right there.
Sponsored by Vooray, Devin Graham built this giant Human Slingshot Slip and Slide in Utah.
We filmed this in Paradise Utah, on private property. Vooray built the jump and rigged the whole thing together. The distance of the lake was 150 feet. Several people had been flung 120 feet during the filming of the video. And actually… 3 people passed out on impact from hitting the water…. so I wouldn’t suggest trying it at home :)

As an even to promote the natural beauty of Chile, motocross rider Julio Munoz went packing with his bike off a 1000 meter high cliff. The 450cc bike was rigged with special cameras to capture the view, though it eventually did end up on the rocks. Munoz opened his parachute some 200 feet above the ground.

A stunt driver at the AutoRAI show in the Netherlands pulled off quite a spectacle by taking a Fiat 500 through a complete 360 degrees vertical loop. The Fiat was specially prepared for the stunt and for the occasion, by Shell.

This is insane, crazy and a very impressive stunt. The SUV is being driven tilted, while three guys change the rear wheel of the vehicle. I have no idea how this is even possible, but these Saudis know how to pull off a stunt.

One big story this guy will tell forever in his life is the time when he went into an aquarium, and played tennis with a shark. Some people will refuse to believe the story, others will look on in awe, and this guy will continue with the story. In another turn to the story, the guy is actually testing Dunlop’s new Biomimetic tennis range at the London Aquarium. Since the racket is inpired by shark-skin, someone thought it would be a great idea to throw a guy into a tank with sharks, have him play tennis, and see how much drag the racket produced. Still, cool story bro.
