Motorcycle stunting is one extremely cool thing, but in some cases things go really crazy. It's the case of this breathtaking stunt/ trial performance from Chris Northover, taking place in an old, abandoned Russian consulate in Kensington Palace Gardens, also known as the Billionaires Row.
While this video does not exactly rival with what riders lihe Ponomareff, Pfeiffer and many more put up for our enjoyment, Northover's video is a sweet, haute-tension action sports piece, bringing in so much more than riding perfection: a very high, possibly lethal dose of danger.

Drifting around the track is by no means an easy thing, but making a mistake means some broken bones and some skin scraping. In certain points of Northover's stunning performance, a similar mistake could result in severe, life-threatening injuries.

That is, because falling with a motorcycle from atop a mansion 3 stories high is nothing like falling in the parking lot. And yes, the commando ceiling drop IS epic!

Thanks Flavius for the tip.
