Switchriders drift video
Gymkhana what? The Switchriders put on a stunning display of motorcycle control and synchronisation in their latest video, Drift MotoMeet the Ken Blocks of the two-wheeled world - a group of stunt riders who operate under the Switchriders title.
The French troupes latest video, Drift Moto, shows off sublime motorcycle drifting skills in tight quarters. It also pays homage to Ken Block's original Gymkhana with its run-down industrial estate backdrop.
Some of the stunts these guys perform are astonishing, particularly the stoppies against the wall and at 2:42 when one of the riders stands backwards on the tank, jumps off the back of the bike then chases it down again. Ballsy!
We're so taken with the vid, we're requesting that synchronised motorcycle drifting be honoured as an official Olympic sport.
Stay tuned for the credits at the end of the vid as there's some 'almost' painful outtakes where the riders don't quite nail their stoppies. If you like the video, check out the Switchriders Facebook page.
