While we've seen some spectacular jumps, the recent 2014 Cameron Air Show in Cameron, MO, took things to new heights, literally. Instead of just trying to leap over several things like you might normally see, the cycle only had to make it past one obstacle. Thing is, that obstacle happens to be a biplane flying just a few feet off the ground.

 

The video slows the whole feat way down so that you can watch rider Cody Elkins launch over pilot Skip Stewart in the plane in great detail.

 

This is either a seriously cool motorcycle jump or an incredibly dangerous airplane stunt, depending on how you want to look at it.

Impressive, but there are much more heart-stopping stunts performed by other stunt bikers around the world.

 

One good example would be Robbie Maddison's Red Bull 2008 New Year's Eve jump to the top of the Arc de Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas. What's amazing wasn't the jump up, but the way down.

 

 

I've watched this over and over again and each time it leaves me in awe! It definitely takes someone insane and with balls of steel to do this!

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
