Known for producing stunning tricks on a motocross bike, Tom Pages might just have pulled off his best achievement yet.

The Red Bull athlete was in complete control as he steered the parachute while sitting on his motocross machine. A rather bonkers manoeuvre to even attempt, Pages made it look reasonably easy.

Pages began by riding his motocross bike in the French Alps before going airborne. What’s even more impressive is that Pages managed to achieve this incredible feat in only his fourth attempt.

The first three attempts resulted in crashes as Pages was taken out by his parachute on the first effort. He then managed to momentarily get the bike off the ground on his second attempt before a heavy fall as he was rocked from side to side. But come attempt number four and Pages was away and making the trick look effortless.

Pages has been producing stunts like this for many years, as he’s used to performing crazy backflips of ramps and at stunt events, but he’s much more than just a stunt performer as he’s raced in motocross championships and is currently competing in the Yamaha R7 cup.

He was also part of a stunt where a skier, kayaker and ice skater also produced parachute tricks. Pages rode his motocross bike off a ramp and landed several front flips before launching himself off the bike with his parachute activating moments later. I know what you’re thinking… what about the bike? Well, his motocross bike wasn’t hurt and was also caught by its own parachute.

Known for doing his own stunts and being one of the best in the movie industry, even Tom Cruise would have to tip his hat at what Pages can do. There’s no doubt his skills are some of the best in the world.
