WATCH: Russian stunt rider rides down bobsleigh run
Probably the most worrying thing about the video is he seems to do it with the side-stand down!
Bobsleigh and motorcycles. Two words that don’t generally go together but let’s not let that get in the way of a good video! Professional stunt rider Denis Rybalko didn’t let it put him off as he hit a thawed-out, bobsleigh track on his tricked-up Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja.
According to his YouTube channel he had two attempts at the feat and hit a top speed of 90km/h (55mph) which is only about 30mph slower than the four-man bobsleigh teams that race down the frozen courses in the winter.
The only really disappointing thing about the video is that he doesn't seem to use much of the banking in the course's turns. Look I'm not saying I'd be any faster, because I wouldn't, but if you're a fearless stunt riding badass, surely throwing a bike high up the banking is the way to go?
What do you think of the clip? Let up know in the comments below.
