We find the silodrome play just as amazing as it deserves to be and yet there has always been something in the artificial nature of such stunts that has left us in search for more. Well, we’ve recently come across something that takes the wall of death game straight into the heart of nature.
We are talking about the adjacent video, which is here for a simple reason - to assure you that the image above is not a piece of Photoshop work. This is as real as can be and we have professional mountain biker Matt Hunter fighting gravity here.

Being a Canadian, Matt is pretty familiar with the stunning beauty of the wild landscape and this new feat is precisely his kind of thing. In case you didn’t know, Matt may have a few two-pedal challenge titles in his trophy cabinet, but, most of the time, he prefers to shoot his rides.

Consider him some sort of the mountain biking world’s Ken Block. Instead of focusing on racing, the guy likes to have his extreme rides caught on camera.

Yes, the positioning of the camera may add a bit of extra drama to the feat,, but check out all the angles - this is now fake adrenaline, the stunt is just as extreme as it looks.
