"From Rampage to Hardline, Red Bull has become synonymous with the most extreme forms of mountain biking. Outside of races, freeride, and slopestyle competition, individually sponsored Red Bull athletes are constantly pushing the limits and trying to one-up the insanity with stunts like Dawid Godziek's ride on top of a moving train."
"Somehow, Matt Jones' latest triumph pushes the danger and insanity even higher with a perfectly timed jump through two moving autonomous semi trucks, moving in opposite directions. Thanks to precise control of the trucks from Scania, Red Bull's engineers were able to devise a system that would ensure Matt had a perfect launch window through the two trailers while being pulled up to speed by an Audi SUV. The jump is a thing of beauty, but one with very real consequences should something go wrong..."
Red Bull is linked to the most extreme forms of mountain biking and backs riders who push stunt boundaries. Dawid Godziek rode on top of a moving train as an example of those extremes. Matt Jones completed a precisely timed jump through two autonomous semi trucks traveling in opposite directions. Scania supplied exact truck control, enabling engineers to create a system that secured a launch window through the trailers. An Audi SUV accelerated Jones to the necessary speed. The stunt is striking but carries substantial risk and severe potential consequences if anything fails.
