I saw that today on Good Morning Murica. That's a mud/sand/hill climbing tire on the back. Amazing stunt, for sure. Now let's wait for the upcoming epic "FAILS" that will surely follow.

Who sponsored these wild @$$ stunts before Red Bull came along?  But really cool.

I think over here it used to be Budweiser that sponsored them - whether they officially did it, or if it was unofficially inspired from mass consumption of their beverages - could be either one..

This the same guy that did a near vertical jump to the top of a 10 story replica of the Arc de Triumphe outside a Las Vegas casino 2 years ago on New Years Eve.

Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

Also set the world record in 2007 for the longest jump at 322 feet.
