Brumotti Tour De San Luis

At this point you should be familiar with the antics insane skills of Vittorio Brumotti. The Italian does things on a road bike that most people should never even attempt on any bike, let alone one with 25mm tires. As part of the pre and post race show at this year’s Tour de San Luis, Brumotti is showing fans a good time which apparently means climbing the steep roof of Terrazas del Portezuelo. I’m not even sure how his tires are sticking as he side hops up to the top…

The Tour de San Luis continues tomorrow and will finish up this weekend.

One misjudgment of his angle, and down he’d go. That’s pretty crazy, though I thought when I first clicked on this that he was going to “ride” to the top…

Also, next time he needs to point his camera up a little bit!

He also hopped his way up a 100+ flights of the tallest building in Dubai. I’m sure this one felt like child’s play.

Boys and girls, no need of disc brakes for “superior” stopping power. LOL.
