My hands tickled once I saw them at the top of the building next to that drop off.

My hands ticked when they were hugging and I saw that 10 story drop from the end of the buildings "ramp".

That was sick.

Thinking about calling shennanigans on this. Look at the angle at which they are headed down the building. then they disappear into the trees and hit the street at a much different angle.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the bikes and people would shatter into a million pieces if you fell like the second guy did traveling at that speed into a dropoff of that height and angle into concrete.

I could be completely wrong, the whole video looked legit until the last part. Something just didn't seem right about the landing...

I'm with John on this one. Not sure how it was cut or how they actually got off the roof, but I'm going with fake. That was like a 60-70 foot drop onto flat concrete. If there was a ramp or something there maybe, but without one I don't think either one of those guys would be walking after the landing.

Yea, I'm going with fake. Once they set off down the decline they get kinda blurry and glitchy. Photoshop y0.

Eh idk maybe you guys are right. I think its real though. I thought the blur was cause of how fast they were going and of course they lifted up on the handle bars at the drop to change their angle so they could land. I mean people drop in off of helicopters and such. And bikes have brakes.

No doubt that that was fake. But the whole other video was cool

Agreed on it looking fake at the last part of the video. Just didn't look right at all.

How anyone could think this is real is beyond me. Watch other BMX videos of guys hitting the ground off 20ft jumps and then tell me he could survive that 8 story fall.

The first half of the video is cool. Some basic street riding around a beautiful Rotterdam at night. Wish I could ride there right now! But yeah, that trip down the building is totally fake. Never mind the 8 story landing that would kill them, the incorrect angle of landing, or the obvious video editing. It's the fact that the ramp down isn't flat. The glass and metal panels are recessed about 2-3 inches into the metal framework. From the sheer angle of decent, after about 10 feet, they would have been bumped face-first over the handle bars, and tumbled to their death. But it's still a fun video to watch.

Awesome! But definitely fake, the bikers are look sort of off when going down the building. Plus the bumps from the window frames going down would be a huge obstacle!
