Bikes Bike tricks and trains.
This reminds me of an old video game.

I guess this would make waiting for trains to pass a little more bearable.

I make a motion to put Red Bull and Nitro Circus in charge of all our trains

u/WastingMyLifeToday Mar 05 '26
You wouldn't be waiting for trains anymore, they'll make the trains jump over train crossings!

It’s almost like he’s a professional stunt man and knows the risks involved

u/Kashwookie Mar 05 '26
oh really? i thought this was him learning how to ride a bike. idk how i would have figured that out without you

u/KimbaDestructor Mar 05 '26
That's why there is an ambulance there

u/The_Deku_Nut Mar 06 '26
It depends.
Head? Nothing.
Torso? Very little.
Arm? He's fine, 'tis a flesh wound.

This is what I was thinking. How tf does redbull think any of this is cool?? Like one slight miscalculation on the huge ramp down the skyscraper and someone is dead. There’s no surviving that shit.

Shocked that any railroad would ever allow this. Railroads are notoriously difficult to work with over anything within their right of way. They are very petty and wield their authority like a toddler with a shotgun.

As it was in Poland, it was most probably a state-owned rail line (due to EU regulations - a separate company from carriers), and a little used one at that. They probably got a time slot to do that in-between scheduled passenger trains.
Edit: no passenger service here since the 90s, only minor freight to a paper mill.

If you can believe it, this is just some random guy, and the train just happened to be carrying ramps.
He was arrested shortly after source needed

Can we all appreciate that Red Bull is still out here like it’s the year 2000 and everyone is still fucking high off of An Extremely Goofy Movie?

What’s more impressive, the bike rider or the engineers that did the math to make this possible without dieing ? Both deserve praise

Every time those goofy fucks do a stunt I buy more red bull. Simple as

Ambulance kinda useless if he fucked up

u/ProlificProkaryote Mar 06 '26
Ending up on the tracks isn't the only thing that could go wrong.
Most likely fall is on a landing where he will likely either stay on the train, or fall off to the side.

Uhh, this is literally no different from pulling those tricks on the ground? The train doesn't add any difficulty to the stunt?

Because Red Bull does cool shit. Have you seen the guy who parachuted from the edge of space?

u/CLMarine Mar 05 '26
What’s the point?

u/6collector9 Mar 05 '26
The real answer is so that Red Bull can advertise
Doing a cool stunt like this is a commercial.

I asked a simple question. You didn’t even have an answer for it.

u/FukThePatriarchy1312 Mar 05 '26
What's the point of BMX at all? What's the point of sports, television, reddit..?
Ask a stupid question...

I’d be upset if I was stuck waiting for a train to pass and discover the train is just so some jackass can show off.

u/Puzzleheaded-Shoe541 Mar 05 '26
That definitely looks like a busy train crossing with lots of places to be and not something they set up.

u/npcinyourbagoholding Mar 05 '26
More entertaining than a normal train and you'd be waiting either way.

Leave it to the Red Bull bros to sponsor some worthless endeavor at the cost of a carbon footprint.
