Whilst many opt to tackle a twisty mountain road in a sports car or a sportsbike, a Norwegian bicyclist decided to take things up a few levels by cycling down one backwards.

The video posted shows cyclist Eskil Ronningsbakken attempting the insane stunt on a mountain road near the town of Trollstigen, Norway. Not only did Eskil perform the stunt whilst mounted backwards on his bicycle, the road was substantially wet as you can see in the video, not to mention the steep 10% slope gradient as well.

Nevertheless, Eskil went on his way with the act, reaching speeds of up to 80km/h in the process too. Check out the video below to see for yourself how this mad Scandinavian pulled off this stunt successfully.
