Very impressive. Reminds me of the greatest movie stunt ever done before the Mission Impossible movies. Michelle Yeoh in 1992 jumps a motorcycle onto a moving train: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTv7HXqqqXA

It’d be nice if the post came with a “Red Bull advertisement” tag at the top.

I see at least two Red Bull logos on the holding frame.

I was wondering how that all got funded. It don’t look cheap!

As advertising goes, RB’s is top-level entertaining. My kiddo digs the Danny MacAskill trials vids, as do I.
Good on them, but it still doesn’t change how nasty the liquid goods are in my opinion!

Wow, that was probably the coolest thing I will see today. Thanks!
I was out riding my bike when I had to stop for a passing freight train. I was the first vehicle to stop on my side of the line, so I was just a little back from the guard rail. Given the line of vehicles that formed while waiting for the train to pass, I got off the road and waited for both train and cars to pass before continuing my ride. That was more than enough interaction of bike and train for me!
Still, yeah, that was actually a really cool stun ride.
Getting the speed of the bike and the speed of the train (mostly) synchronised was a particularly nice touch.
