Intersection Magazine “Don’t try this at Home” #29

15 June 2009

Ever since we launched Intersection, we’ve done a silly stunt per issue, printed as a sequence on the final page of the magazine. Most of them were done by my anonymous stunt double. We’re now gathering them all under the same format, and I’m going to gradually upload them here.

Here is the one from the latest issue.

Self remote-controlled biking.
1. Get yourself a gas-powered RC car, capable of hitting 60mph. Tie a string to its back.
2. Attach the other end of the string to the front of your bike. We suggest a 24′ cruiser BMX, low and solid.
3. Start the car, then hop on the bike, somehow managing to hold the remote in your hands.
4. Control the speed with the throttle, steer the bike and the car at the same time, using your fingers and elbows.
5. Gather way too much speed.
6. Lose control, crash
7. Get kicked out of the park by rangers
