A daring Norwegian, named Eskil Ronningsbakken, decided to take a bike ride. There is a little twist though, he rode the bike down a mountain, he sat on the handlebars and it had just rained. He wasn't wearing any safety equipment other than a helmet. He also had to pass through traffic on the way down. On his almost 3 mile journey, that took about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, he traveled at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. The elevation that he traveled was about 3,000 feet downward along a wet and winding road.
I don't think that I would even drive a car that fast on that road. I think that this stunt was too dangerous and should not have even been attempted without at least more safety equipment.
Would you ride your bike down a mountain? What are your thoughts on this stunt?

That is faster than what i would be going forward in a car down the mountain. this guy is gutsy and has no fear. I do think he should wear more gear though.
I dont think I would ride my bike down a mountain. Too dangerous! This man is insane!
I would never try anything like this. That's also why Im not a stuntman. I think this was a bad idea and dangerous but thats what stunt people do.
This kind of reminds me of the Ghost Rider (not the famous character, but the real person). He rides motorcycles and generally tries to make the police angry or go long distances in short times. This guy probably had a lot of practice. I would probably prefer a bicycle over a car there, but the way he rode made it more dangerous.
This sounds like a suicide mission to me. Was he not even wearing a helmet? That is so dangerous and really not worth the risk.
I think this guy is nuts why would you do this? what is even the point of doing this why would he want to attempt this? No I wouldn't do this I see no point in it and its very dangerous.
This is something that I would never do, but I do think that it is cool that he actually survived doing what he did. Hopefully he doesn't do it again because I dont think he would be as lucky next time.
This is crazy. I would never ride a bike down a mountain in those conditions, let alone without any safety equipment. I am just glad that this man didn't get hurt, but I can't imagine what he was thinking when he attempted this.
This is insane. I would not want to that. I think he is insane just for doing it.
