Stunt show: Czech motorbike rider Petr Pilat backflips over plane
Petr, 20, from the Czech Republic, teamed up with Kirby Chambliss, a Red Bull champion pilot from Texas, US, to create the incredible double act.
Timing their approach to the split second, Chambliss flew his Zivko Edge 540 aircraft perilously low between two jump ramps — while Pilat hurled his motocross bike over the top.
He said: "Petr Pilat is a new talented rider and Kirby Chamliss is one of the best aerobatic pilots in the world.
"Together they make this incredibly dangerous stunt look like Sunday practice at the park.
"If the airplane flew any higher and been at the same level as the motorcycle the stunt would have been fatal to both.
"This kind of stunt doesn’t happen every day and the action was amazing to photograph."
Petr — who was the youngest person ever to do a backflip on a motorbike aged just 14 — said after the stunt: "I’m so happy I’m still alive.
"It was really awesome and I’m so happy that we did it."
