Intense skating

A Russian skateboarder had a very close call when being filmed in a high speed stunt by a friend. The skateboarder was descending a twisty road and travelling at some speed but misjudged a corner, cutting it too tightly and crashing head-on into an oncoming car. Luckily he did not suffer injuries more serious than cuts and bruises as well as a dented ego and the vehicle was also undamaged.

The car was stripped of any identification as well as many mechanical components, reducing its weight sufficiently for it to be suspended from a single cable.

The cyclists turned a corner and the tank meanwhile carried straight on. No doubt the cyclists were pleased to see the back of the large, heavily armed and armoured metal beast as it disappeared into a forest in a cloud of dust. Meanwhile in the UK city of Norwich, the Tour of Br
