The freestyle motocross rider Tom Pages pulled off an amazing first in the ski resort of Avoriaz in France last month – riding off a sheer cliff and performing a double front flip before parachuting down.
Pages attacked the seven-metre ramp at 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph) and shot out more than 55 metres from the cliff before gliding back down to terra firma.
‘What’s going to get me stoked after that?’ Pages said as he reflected on his achievement. ‘I don’t know. I’m going to have to find something even more stupid to have fun.’
Pages is no stranger to extreme sports: he is a multiple Red Bull X-Fighters champion and a five-time X Games gold medallist.
