Daniel Dhers (video still from Redbull.fr)Video: Who Dhers Wins - Venezuelan BMX ace Daniel Dhers does stunts on back of truck
Venezuelan BMX freestyle rider Daniel Dehrs, winner of five gold medal at the Summer X Games, has found one way of using traffic jams in Peru's capital, Lima, to his advantage - by leaping onto the back of a truck and running through his repertoire of tricks, including while it was moving, albeit slowly, in the gridlock.
Okay, it's not any old truck - the flatbed trailer houses ramps bearing the logo of his sponsor, Red Bull, which produced the video below - but the stunt certainly grabbed the attention of passers-by and vehicle occupants alike.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Imagine that in London, Traffic cops would have had him for riding dangerously, due care and attention and more importantly the driver of the truck for not having sufficient safety mirrors, carrying an unsteady load.
But he is a talented fellow isn't he!!
