GoPro captures insanely awesome bike ride over top of bridge

Before you watch the video, let us preface with, “absolutely do not try this at home.” If you want to see some of the world’s most insane tricks ever recorded, just head straight to GoPro’s YouTube site. The company recently posted an amazing video of a professional stuntman riding a motorbike not on a bridge’s road surface, but over the entire structure, on top of the cement arch – without any safety harnesses. The crazy-yet-awesome stunt – appropriately titled, “Epic Bridge Riding” – was recorded in an overhead shot, using a GoPro camera mounted on a pole that’s attached to the rider’s backpack; another camera was mounted on the side of the bike, near the front wheel, and another on the rider’s helmet.

The stuntman, part of the Stunt Freaks Team from Finland – an official GoPro partner – also performs a wheelie in the end, all the way across the bridge that spans a river. The video was shot with a GoPro Hero3+ camera, not one the newer GoPro Hero4 models. Still, the video isn’t really about the camera specs, but more about the stunt and what you can do with an action cam. But, unless you have a death wish, leave this kind of action to the pros.

It’s funny how we can take certain things for granted, like haircuts. Over the course of more than 50 years of living in different cities, different neighborhoods, or even visiting different countries, not once have I ever worried about whether I could find someone who could cut my hair the way I liked. Then again, I’m white.

But if you’re a person of color, it can be an entirely different experience. That’s what Kyle Parker discovered when he left his hometown of Chicago in 2013 to attend Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, population 9,031. While 24% of Grinnell College’s students identify themselves as people of color, fewer than 10% of residents of the city of Grinnell would say the same of themselves.
