Riding a motorcycle off a 3,300 ft / 1,000 meter high cliff is not something you see every day. Julio Munoz, a Chilean motocross rider, performed this daredevilish stunt in May 2011, as part of the ‘BASE Project Los Andes’ to promote the natural beauties of his country.
Rigged with special cameras, the 37-year-old paratrooper raced his 450cc motorcycle towards a specially prepared ramp and literally flew into the air before starting his descent. The bike crashed onto the rocks while Munoz successfully opened his parachute some 200 feet from the ground.
The spectacular stunt took three years to prepare and involved more than two dozen people with the total cost amounting to a staggering $108,000 (€75,700). Munoz doesn’t plan to stop here as he wants to perform similar jumps in other areas of Chile. To find out the outcome of the stunt check out the breathtaking footage below.
