Red Bull photographers used a drone to capture the world’s first bike flip on a moving train. This feat was attempted by Polish BMX cyclist Dawid Godziek, the 2024 Slopestyle World Champion, who successfully performed various stunts on a moving train that reached speeds of up to 14.3 mph (23 km/h).
The most difficult part for Godziek was getting all the tricks to come out perfectly in a single run, one continuous take. This meant that there was no room for mistakes. Why? First, the track was narrow and even a minimally unsteady landing could result in a fall from the train, which could have dire consequences.

An MTB track on a moving train? I thought it had no right to succeed. Yet we managed it, and it was epic! The execution of the track, my ride, the whole process – everything came out much better than we expected,” said Dawid Godziek, Polish BMX Cyclist.
