Video: Biker on 3D course amazingly looks like he’s in a video game

We reckon we could master this with no stabilisers...

We reckon we could master this with no stabilisers…

Following on from one artist’s amazing stop-motion 3D rendition of Snake earlier this week, Red Bull have released a similar brilliant video of fixed gear rider Josh Boothby riding his way to safety in what, at first glance, appears to be a highly elaborate 3D course in the style of a 1980’s video game. In actuality, the course is remarkably much more simplistic in nature and the full mechanics of the artistic set-up are revealed at the very end.

Here’s the official Red Bull description of the footage…

Fixed gear rider Josh Boothby rides into an alternate dimension, where his fixed gear skills are put to the test on a highly technical bike course. With the boss looming around every corner, Josh must navigate his way through the bike maze and survive the challenging levels to make it back to his own world in time to ride another day!

The clip even has its very own super video game sound-effects and make sure you watch out for that end-of-level boss. No sign of Princess Peach though…
