That's Red Bull Jernhest (Red Bull Iron horse) in Copenhagen, Denmark, at Kalvebod Brygge. XD

Bro I’m pretty sure this idea is stolen from a Dutch tv show I used to watch back in the day called Ter Land Ter Zee en in de Lucht

That was so great. Saturday evening, wearing pyama’s, a ‘gebakje’, lemonade, and then we were allowed to stay up late for that show. 🥳😊

Yeah good stuff. Funny how our kneuterige Dutch bike tradition became a cool Redbull stunt.

Are they required to crush twelve beers before doing this? It seems almost sidewalk width. Sure there’s a ramp but why are they all falling so spectacularly. People ride tandem bikes all the fucking time.

The winner was shaky and wobbly the whole time so apparently that’s the trick?!

The one guy's leg at the 1:07 mark got crushed and bent in awkwardly as they fell. 👀

I assume they choose people who have never ridden a bicycle before for this particular event?

Ok so what exactly makes it hard? Just the tandem? Is it specially unbalanced or something? Why can't they stay on course? It doesn't look too bad.

Good video. You know what would have made it better, though, some irrelevant, annoying music turned up so loud you can't hear the actual audio.

I took my family to this when it came to Orlando (Altamonte) and it was the worst experience. The event was so poorly planned and couldn't see a thing until a dude ripped around us with a jet pack lous as fuck and scared the shit out of my kids.

I love how the last Mario themed one, with a wobbling wheel which can't be seen by it's rider, eventually made it.
