Check out insane maneuver where a motorcycle backflips over an airplane

Red Bull, a maker of one of the most iconic energy drinkers on the market - and with that slogan that "gives you wings" but doesn't get out of your head - has become well known for its support for some of today's coolest projects. . The company has a Formula 1 team, made the epic leap of Red Bull Stratos possible, and recently even hosted a 1x1 League of Legends championship in Brazil. This time, however, the company backed a more than legendary maneuver: a sensational motorcycle backflip over an airplane.

It took two years of much planning, calculation, and testing before motorcycle rider Nick de Wit and ace ace Glen Dell could make the insane maneuver a reality (it occurs at 6:55 in the video). Recorded from various angles - including the participants' own view - the scene of the enterprise is eye-popping. Nick makes a perfect jump over the Extra 300 plane flown by the experienced Glen, who scrapes across the ground between the two ramps that made the jump possible.

Unfortunately, a few weeks after the duo's recording of the feat, Glen died in an accident during an air performance in Secunda, South Africa. The pilot had a 30-year career, 25, 000 flight hours and more experience. of 250 aircraft types. The video recorded by Red Bull only testifies to the rider's ability - he even makes a "zero" on the track - and contributes to his legacy.
