WATCH: Daredevil biker pulls off THIS incredible trick outside Scottish parliament
THIS daredevil biker’s trick outside the Scottish Parliament has gone viral.
Biker's INCREDIBLE trick outside Scottish Parliament
Video captures the moment a bike stuntman leaps across a 15ft wide pond, outside the Scottish parliament.
The footage begins with the biker, dressed in a blue t-shirt and dark coloured shorts, performing a wheelie on the edge of the pond at Holyrood.
He then adjusts his position and lines himself up, preparing for the ultimate leap of faith.
The biker is then seen lunging off the edge.

In the video, which turns into slow-motion here, it appears that the biker may not make it across successfully.
But to viewers surprise he lands perfectly on his back wheel.
Than after a couple of bounces he is seen riding off.
The story comes after skydivers were caught on camera launching off slack lines over 400.ft high.

The dangerous stunt was captured in Moab, Utah at an annual event for BASE and highlining.
Dubbed the “Turkey Boogie”, the spectacle draws hordes of adventurers each year to test out wild new ways of jumping from terrifying heights.
This year’s feature was the Mothership Spacenet, a complex array of five slack lines stretched over a towering canyon.
It was designed by world-famous slackliner, 'Sketchy' Andy Lewis.

The video shows a group of men jumping through a purpose-built hole in the net, with parachutes strapped to their backs.
They jump out in quick succession and almost immediately have to pull their chutes, with only 400 feet to catch themselves.
This type of shallow skydiving is actually far more dangerous than plane skydives from thousands of feet because they have a very small window to fall.
Each man jumps out differently - some fall straight through while others take an even more daring approach.
