Video: Watch this mountain biker backflip over a 72 foot drop

You've got to have balls of steel to try this, which is why we're never going to even attempt it

Red Bull sponsor some of the coolest sporting events in the world, from the Cliff Diving World Series to the X-Fighters, and Red Bull Rampage is a similarly breath-taking sporting occasion.

The best mountain-bikers from around the world come to compete, show off their skills, and risk life and limb in the process, and Kelly McGarry did exactly that with this incredible run, featuring a backflip over a 72ft canyon, which was captured from his perspective on a GoPro camera.

He only finished second, if you can believe that, so here’s the run from Kyle Strait that managed to defeat him.

You can also watch the best of the rest here too, (which is worth a few minutes of your time, trust us), or simply check out the biggest mountain bike backflip of all time, no biggie.
