BMX rider switches bikes mid-jump

published 12 May 2015

You know what’s better than landing on your bike after a BMX jump? Landing on another bike.

Easier said than done, granted, but achieved with aplomb by rider Pat Laughlin who recently switched bikes after some air-time on the Mega Ramp in China. Better still, he then coolly rode his second bike down an equally massive ramp to underline his Godlike ability.

Defying physics as much as safety, the stunt was captured on video by his teammates, which you can watch below - again and again (and again).

It's just that damned good.

He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
