No need for parachutes when you\u2019ve got a bike.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Scaled X tricks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Nitro World Games are a never-ending stream of idiotic decisions that turn out good in the end. The tricks keep getting bigger but the bikes remain the same size. Sometimes the rider and the bike spin together but I love this video of a bike spinning with its rider following behind.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=Hz3zVRnAdG0 params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/Hz3zVRnAdG0\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Jumps like these require a deft touch and the ability to bypass an unavoidable adrenaline surge that begs you to pull out or go too big. There are a lot of fun jumps in this clip \u2013 but please don\u2019t try this at home unless you have adult supervision.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jumping rope on rollers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ruby Isaac was Trek-Segafredo\u2019s youngest signing at just 10 years old. Oh, and she\u2019s also a Specialized ambassador. If you\u2019ve not heard of her, I suggest you get up to speed. Ruby\u2019s can-do attitude is as impressive as it is infectious \u2013 but her roller demonstrations speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=aav7J_S9ji0 params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/aav7J_S9ji0\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Ruby was 6 years old when her grandmother taught her to cycle, and she\u2019s clearly got a few career paths open to her. As a fellow Brit, I\u2019m hoping she brings us a few Olympic gold medals and maybe some grand tour victories. But, so long as she\u2019s having fun, she\u2019ll continue to bring joy to cycling.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Matt Macduff\u2019s Loop of Doom<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cGo big or go home\u201d would be a fitting description of Macduff\u2019s attitude to stunts. Doing a loop-the-loop in any vehicle, even a jet aeroplane, is impressive. It\u2019s an odd human compulsion \u2013 but that didn\u2019t stop Macduff and his team spending a month building a 40-foot-high wooden structure for bragging rights.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=E4i7aE6BJe8 params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/E4i7aE6BJe8\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>The video is sobering and the website explaining the fallout and recovery is testament to the fact that these stunts are, indeed, a huge risk. Which is what makes them so exhilarating. Whether it\u2019s the thrilling risk or the satisfaction of achieving the seemingly impossible, we love cycling \u2013 and we love stunts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there anything more stunning than the sight of a man flying 20 metres above the ground, desperately grabbing at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":177205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4142],"tags":[3990,3992,3991,908],"global-categories":[3366],"class_list":["post-177200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ride2unite","tag-cycling-stunts","tag-matt-macduff","tag-nitro-world-games","tag-ruby-isaac","global-categories-cycling"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Best Cycling Stunts: Would You Dare?
